NRA sends Dana Loesch to town hall with Parkland shooting survivors

CNN will host a town hall on gun violence Wednesday night featuring students, parents, and community members impacted by the school shooting in Parkland, Florida last week — as well as National Rifle Association spokesperson Dana Loesch. An unusual change in tactics for the NRA, which generally remains fairly quiet in the weeks after a mass shooting, the incendiary advocate will respond to those advocating for new gun violence prevention measures in an event called, “Stand Up: The Students of Stoneman Douglas Demand Action.”

Loesch is officially the NRA’s national spokesperson and has emerged as one of the organization’s most strident voices. She has a long history of lambasting those who advocate for restrictions on gun ownership, often relying on violence-inciting language in her attacks. She’s also specifically defended AR-15s, the semi-automatic rifles frequently used in mass shootings.

and bring blood money with them..........................F her and Selleck and her other cronies and the horse they ride in on

everyone of the student(s) that go to this dog and pony show should have red gloves on there hands with her name on them ..................................visual effects................and then tell her to leave..............you have blood on your hands

Or better yet have the student bring an empty brief case with the names of all the congressional and state representatives she and her terrorist group have paid off




November 2018 cannot get here fast enough

or a pretty good actor playing that role.

I think she believes that the NRA should start shooting liberals.

If Loesch pursues her usual tactics, and begins shouting down everyone else, spewing insults and invective, I hope CNN is prepared to boot her from the venue. Unless, of course, CNN is hosting this town hall for purposes other than the respectful exchange of opposing viewpoints.
