Dana Loesch delivered a powerful speech at CPAC this morning. She was on fire.
I had a feeling she’d come out with a fire. After all, she just came back from the CNN town hall, and she wasn’t exactly treated well.

One student subtly suggested that she’s a crappy mother for supporting the Second Amendment.
Ridiculous.
Apparently, it was worse than we thought. She said she needed full blown security detail to get out of there.
“You heard that town hall last night, they cheered the confiscation of firearms,” Loesch said at CPAC. “And it was over 5K people. I had to have a security detail to get out. I wouldn’t have been able to exit that if I did not have a private security detail. There were people rushing the stage and screaming burn her. And I came there to talk solutions.”
That’s not constructive. We want legitimate solutions. Screaming, “burn her” is not a solution. I can’t believe that even needs to be said out loud.
Dana also called out MSM’s hypocrisy by pointing out that you NEVER hear them up in arms about black kids shot in Detroit, Baltimore or Chicago. That’s just another Tuesday.
“Crying white mothers are ratings gold to you and many in the legacy media … notice I said ‘crying white mothers’ because there are thousands of grieving black mothers in Chicago every weekend, and you don’t see town halls for them, do you? Where’s the CNN town hall for Chicago?” she asked. “Where’s the CNN town hall for sanctuary cities?”
Bam boom pow. Beautifully stated.
Libs already taking her quote out of context, because RATINGS GOLD, duh.

Dana Loesch saying that "crying white mothers are ratings gold" is further proof that right-wing racists are gaslighting when they pretend to have no concept of white racial privilege or how systemic racism operates

No. Sorry. That’s the zeal of common sense and LIBERTY. Sorry you misunderstood.
Dear Dana Loesch: The clenched fist of the American people is bigger than the clenched fist of the @NRA. https://t.co/ICoFjIJK0m

WATCH: #VelshiRuhle respond to the NRA's Dana Loesch, who suggested the media loves covering mass shootings for ratings.

Again, they’re taking her response out of context. They know EXACTLY what she’s talking about.
Dana did great. She’s holding her ground and inspiring so many young people to do the same.
Don’t let the mob intimidate you.
