Conservative activist Laura Loomer handcuffed herself to the Twitter headquarters in Manhattan on Thursday to protest being banned from the social media site.

Loomer, 25, shackled her hand to the door of the building on West 17th Street near 8th Avenue at around 4 p.m. and became stuck there after claiming she did not have a key to open the handcuffs, according to law enforcement sources.

The activist said she planned on staying there all night — but asked to be freed shortly after.

“We then cut the handcuffs off of her and sent her on her way,” a police source told The Post.

Loomer was banned from the social media platform for making inflammatory comments about newly elected Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), who is Muslim.
