Examples of Loyalist in a Sentence

1. William Beggs:

   You shouldn’t threaten people but something has to be done, this is a loyalist town and there is a lot of anger about the border down the Irish Sea. It shouldn’t be there.

2. Ron Sachs/Consolidated News Pictures/Getty Images:

   And Nick Fuentes, unlike so many of the lawyers and so many people, that he was left with on his 2020 campaign, he’s actually a loyalist.

3. Joel Keys:

   The Northern Ireland Protocol is interesting because I think loyalism has a point – and I think there’s a legitimate argument to be made that a customs border between Northern Ireland and Britain – similar to the way a border across the island, is wrong. But is The Northern Ireland Protocol the case that these are the issues that people in my community are discussing ? No. If you went out and did a survey and asked people in loyalist areas what is The Northern Ireland Protocol – I ’d be willing to bet that over half of them would n’t be able to tell you – there’s more important issues.

4. Emma Shaw:

   The word loyalist is always portrayed in a really negative light, and that's really frustrating for me, because it's always like,' loyalists, or knuckle draggers, they're in the past, they don't want society to move forward.' And that actually couldn't be further from the truth, especially in regards to the women.
