NRA-spokeswoman rants about Obama and Bill Ayers while lecturing journalist on civility.

“This is what I find incredibly sad about the state of political discourse,” Loesch opined. “The media narrative is that this is brand new because it’s Donald Trump and this is Trump America. Let’s be real about this, we can go back all the way to the ’60s, to the Weatherman and Bill Ayers, who… actually launched the former president’s career in his living room. We can talk about Antifa, we can talk about Occupy, we can talk about Ferguson and Baltimore burning if we want to have a discussion on civility.”

Okay...

We can talk about how uncivil black people were to white people during the 19th and 20th century.

And we can talk about the original Antifa: Communist youth who brawled with the NSDAP's brownshirts in the streets of 1920s Berlin.

And we can talk about the Republicans declaring anybody opposing their policies a traitor after 9/11.

And we can talk about the desperate campaign to otherize an african-american President born in Hawaii and raised in Chicago.

And we can talk about Occupy Wall Street, which dared to launch a non-violent protest where people can see them.

We can talk about LA and what kicked off the Rodney King riots.

We can talk about Charlottesville and how Nazis killed a woman there.

We can talk about a pro-life terrorist gunning down Dr. Tiller in his church, if we want to have a discussion on civility.
