When hard-right socially conservative Rep. Daniel Webster defeated MAGA Republican Laura Loomer by 7 percent in a GOP congressional primary on August 23, she responded by refusing to concede and claimed, without evidence, that the election was stolen from her. There was no proof that any type of voter fraud occurred in that primary, but that didn't stop a group of Loomer supporters from filing a lawsuit on her behalf. And according to Daily Beast reporter Will Sommer, one of the Republicans listed in the lawsuit as a plaintiff, Theresa Rinaldi, has demanded that her name be removed from it.
Webster is far from a moderate. Because of his extreme social conservatism, Democratic firebrand and former Rep. Alan Grayson slammed him as "Taliban Dan" when they ran against one another in the 2010 midterms (Grayson lost). But 12 years later, ironically, Loomer lambasted Webster for not being far enough to the right and attacked him as a RINO: Republican In Name Only.
