I didn't expect the article to conclude with a pg quote from twitter. Why did they think pg was a notable authority on the matter of human rights? I am not asking in snark, just curious.

It's an example of notable criticism. The campaign was on twitter, so the PG quote is context and as an example of what detractors are saying.

The quote is there to distract from the fact that Laura Loomer herself is Jewish, and that is probably what motivates her in this case - not adherence to some abstract political ideals, but simple in-group/out-group distinction.
