NRA: Trump is victim of ‘most ruthless attack on a president’ in history
The Hill ^ | 10/20/17 | John Bowden

Posted on 10/20/2017 7:01:36 PM PDT by markomalley

The National Rifle Association (NRA) claims in a new video that President Trump and his supporters are being subjected to the most "ruthless" attack against a U.S. president and his supporters in the history of the country.

In a video posted Friday to the group's Twitter account, spokeswoman Dana Loesch accuses Democrats and other critics of the Trump administration of trying to delegitimize Trump's presidency.

“We are witnesses to the most ruthless attack on a president and the people who voted for him, and the free system that allowed it to happen, in American history," Loesch says at the beginning of the video.

Scenes of anti-Trump protesters and an image the Capitol flash on screen as Loesch continues, ripping in to Trump's "hateful" critics.

"From the highest levels of government, to their media, universities and billionaires, their hateful defiance of his legitimacy is an insult to each of us,” she continues. "But the ultimate insult is that they think we're so stupid that we'll let them get away with it."

In the video, which does not name any specific enemies of the Trump administration, Loesch accuses "saboteurs" in the government of damaging the Trump administration with "leaks and smears."

These critics, Loesch says, are trying to "drive their daggers through the heart of [America's] future." As she says this, images of NFL players kneeling during the national anthem are also shown.

The video is the latest in a series of provocative and controversial posts from the NRA. In a similar post in August directed at The New York Times, Loesch told the newspaper, "we're coming for you."

"We're going to laser-focus on your so-called 'honest pursuit of truth.' In short, we're coming for you," Loesch said in the August video. "Consider this a shot across your proverbial bow."

Now that we know that Trump handily won the popular vote (if you deduct the MILLIONS of illegals paid to vote for Killary), we need to get tougher. It’s time to enforce the sedition laws, starting with the DemoRATS in Congress! Lock ‘em up!

There’s also the copy of the video at the NRA site, but some anti-tracking, anti-malware browsers won’t work with video at that site.

They just said they were open to ATF re-reviewing the bump stocks. I don’t even own one because I think they are stupid and a waste of ammo, but they are trying to compromise with a Constitutional Ammendment. National reciprocity and suppressors should be Constitutionally protected, not horse traded for bump stocks.

I won’t renew my NRA membership. I’m switching to GOA.

I’m no fan of Dana Loesch, but can not quarrel with her facts on this one.

Dana strikes me as a shrew on wheels without an ounce of “warmth”, anywhere remotely nearby. She makes a living off of the shrew persona and uses it for all the right reasons.

Can’t quite forget what a bitter beach she was against Trump, harsh and relentlessly insulting, while supporting the verbose and silver tongued Crooze with his BS rhetoric.

I admit she has come around to the obvious, that no one but TRUMP had a clue, or could ever have measured up to what was going to be required in strength and chutzpah to break the back of the socialist/Marxist network of globalists, who had their boot pressed so heavily on the neck of the USA.

“Now that we know that Trump handily won the popular vote (if you deduct the MILLIONS of illegals paid to vote for Killary),”

63M deplorable, bitter clingers voted for Donald J. Trump
62M leftists, liberal, whiny snowflakes voted for crooked hillary

You know what they say about when you are taking flak.

So, now, since we are over the target, it is time to get tougher, stronger, do more, quicker, faster, double down, triple down. The enemy is on the ropes, they are tired, we can deliver some serious hard blows, maybe take em out.

Mr. Lincoln may disagree.

It’s not about assassinations or how bad Lincoln got it vs Kennedy etc.

The “official” media/deep state popular vote tally was about 66 million for Killary and about 63 million for President Trump. But if you deduct about 5 million votes from illegals paid by George Soros, the Clintoon Foundation and Hollywood elites, that brings Killary down to 61 million. I also think Trump’s vote was under-reported and was closer to 70 million.

Notice I said 5 million VOTES FROM illegals, not 5 million illegals. The DemoRATS accomplished that with less than 1 million illegals on thousands of busses, moving from polling place to polling place all day. Each got $200 (cash, freshly printed by the Federal Reserve) for every vote cast. Remember all those unmarked busses cruising around on election night? That was them.

"A Republic, if you can keep it."

The 'Resistance' has answered that question. I wonder what form of government we will try after our second Civil War.

Yeah but I think Lincoln was hated just on a national level while Trump is hated on a global level especially by countries that are on the verge of becoming Islamic states like Germany, England and the rest of Europe. I don’t know why that is unless the media over there is feeding them BS as well or a Chaliphate has already taken power.

I predicted it the moment Trump was elected. We have not seen the last, nor the worst of it.

The left/media started a 3-week firestorm because Trump didn’t explicitly condemn the nazis by name, and said that both sides were at fault. They accused Trump of favoring nazis. They started the kneeling thing, which hasn’t stopped. Then a mentally disturbed marxist accused him of disrespecting the mother of a killed serviceman. This was totally invented.

What will be next? The serviceman thing is good for another week of media orgasm, then they will need something else. What will it be?

The proposed tax changes?

The good thing about this is that it makes it certain that people on the right will brave storms or floods to get themselves to the polling places and vote against democrats.

You saw/see MAGA families from red America with multiple MAGA kids just under voting age, so by 2020 it’ll be closer to 100mil voters. Didn’t see RAT families with I’m-with-her spawn, did we much?

They certainly aren't perfect, but if the NRA hadn't come out in support of Trump as early as they did, there is a very good chance that we'd be dealing with a “President PIAPS” right now.

That's for sure, because she has a lock on the homo and barren cat lady vote.

Yesterday, I was actually in the break room at work and some leftist here had TV to PMSNBC and the talking head on there actually said that over 90% of those making $50,000 or more would see a tax cut, so not one REAL AMERICAN would see a cent of tax cut.

They are completely insane.
