Guys, this really looks like the same woman. Is she a crisis actress?

This woman appeared at the CNN Townhall meeting for Parkland survivors, where she told a grieving mother she was sorry for her loss and insisted that NRA actually wants stronger background checks for gun purchases:



Then, the very next day, this woman appears on stage at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) and starts ranting about how "the mainstream media loves mass shootings" and "crying white mothers are ratings gold":





I don't know what to believe. They look like they could in fact be the same woman, but why? And how?

Is the Deep State playing tricks on us? Can someone here demand answers from George Soros? What the hell is going on here?

"Crying white mothers" is just another reminder of whose lives matter.

NRA slams gun-background system flaws it helped create
https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/23/us/nra-criticizes-gaps-it-created-in-gun-background-system-invs/index.html

In fact, it was the NRA that led the effort to block the federal mandate, by financing and arguing the US Supreme Court case that let states off the hook. The 1997 decision in Printz v. United States threw out part of the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act, and made it optional for local courts, police departments and states to submit background information on residents.

The Brady Act, passed in 1993, established the federal system that screens firearm purchases at licensed dealers. While the FBI built its high-tech NICS system, local police were tasked with conducting the background checks.

However, the NRA teamed up with local sheriffs in Montana and Arizona to challenge the law, saying local law enforcement shouldn't be forced to work for the feds.

(CNN)The victims' families and survivors of the Florida high school shooting have not held back, calling out the National Rifle Association in the days since the massacre.

On Wednesday, Dana Loesch, the organization's national spokeswoman faced them for the first time.
Loesch said the organization feels the process for buying firearms is flawed and ensured the audience that the NRA is fighting for them. But the crowd booed as she left the event.

Loesch was just named national spokeswoman for the NRA last year, but she has been a staunch advocate for Second Amendment rights for quite some time.

I had a mother-in-law like that and she never laughed or got humor either come to think of it.

Just like Faux News, the right-wingers know that on the TV screen, they have to get the instant attention of mature men, so they use attractive women like her and typically show many square yards of cleavage and leg skin to keep them fixated.

Then, the square-jawed white guys with big shoulder pads step in and tell us using lies and deception of how they are going to royally screw us from behind. Rupert Murdoch and Rodger Ailes used this method successfully for many years, and it still works.

Being an older white male myself that was raised to hold women with respect and high regard, I still struggle to understand how and why these women allow themselves to be used as Republican shills, serial liars and sexualized eye-bait.
