I'm pretty sure my code is correct but it doesn't seem to returning the expected output:
input anti_vowel("Hey look words") --> outputs: "Hey lk wrds".
Apparently it's not working on the 'e', can anyone explain why?
def anti_vowel(c):
newstr = ""
vowels = ('a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u')
for x in c.lower():
if x in vowels:
newstr = c.replace(x, "")
return newstr

Disemvoweling, disemvowelling (see doubled L), or disemvowelment of a piece of alphabetic text is rewriting it with all the vowel letters elided. Disemvoweling is a common feature of SMS language as disemvoweling requires little cognitive effort to read, so it is often used where space is costly.
You can remove a character from a Python string using replace() or translate(). Both these methods replace a character or string with a given value. If an empty string is specified, the character or string you select is removed from the string without a replacement.
Approach: Iterate string using a loop and check for the repetitiveness of vowels in a given sentence and in case if consecutive vowels are found then delete the vowel till coming next consonant and printing the updated string.
Try String.translate.
>>> "Hey look words".translate(None, 'aeiouAEIOU')
'Hy lk wrds'
string.translate(s, table[, deletechars])
Delete all characters from s that are in deletechars (if present), and then translate the characters using table, which must be a 256-character string giving the translation for each character value, indexed by its ordinal. If table is None, then only the character deletion step is performed.

Or if you're using the newfangled Python 3:
>>> table = str.maketrans(dict.fromkeys('aeiouAEIOU'))
>>> "Hey look words.translate(table)
'Hy lk wrds'
