  Loomer used press credentials to attend the March 2018 trial of Noor Salman, the wife of the perpetrator of the June 2016 Orlando nightclub shooting. Her credentials were revoked after she harassed Salman's family; when she returned to the trial the next day, she was removed by a U.S. Marshal. In April 2018, Loomer disrupted an event promoting James Comey 's book A Higher Loyalty before being removed from the building by security. In September 2018, she briefly interrupted a House Energy and Commerce Committee hearing. Shouting from the visitor gallery, she accused Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, who was testifying before the committee, of censoring conservatives on the platform and of attempting to influence elections in favor of Democrats. Republican representative Billy Long began a mock auction chant, pretending he was selling Loomer's mobile phone, until she was escorted out. The incident generated considerable laughter and applause from the audience. In October 2018, police escorted Loomer from a campaign event for Andrew Gillum, the Democratic nominee for governor of Florida.
  
  Loomer was banned from the 2019 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) after aggressively confronting reporters, using her press credentials to follow them into a media-only area after they had declined to speak with her. In particular, she heckled CNN reporter Oliver Darcy with questions about internet censorship and social media bans.
  
  In 2021, Loomer again confronted Dorsey at the Bitcoin 2021 conference, alleging he had censored people and interfered with elections; she was removed from the event.
