NRA’s pro-Trump video features Sandy Hook ‘truther’ who harassed grieving families
Source: RawStory
The National Rifle Associations video announcing its endorsement of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump features multiple appearances by a man who has devoted much of the last four years trying to convince the world that the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary was a hoax.

Resor is notorious as Sandy Hook truther, which means that he believes the U.S. government staged a phony shooting in Newtown, CT on December 14, 2012 in order to initiate a program of weapon confiscation.
He has harassed grieving families whose children were killed in the massacre, according to reports. He has also made multiple social media posts where he accuses the Connecticut families of being government-paid actors.
What is really amazing here is not how despicable this is, he wrote in January, 2013, but how unremarkable it is to learn that the mainstream media deceives us with propaganda to advance their cause. Disgusting.

(5,732 posts)why don't those neo patriotic gun nuts take their assault rifles to Syria and fight ICIS. They are cowards who have to hide behind their lobbyists and assault rifles and dream about being heroes. The NRA is a threat to our freedom and safety. They only want to short liberals. They only want to shot unarmed liberals.

(24,006 posts)Pundits keep talking about politicians "appealing to the base."
Base is right - the baser instincts of their supporters. This is completely vile.

(2,642 posts)Rawstory isn't loading so I can't read their entire article.
But this story came from Media Matters. They actually cite the Facebook posts he made.
There is no other evidence I can find that he has harassed families or done anything on the truther front besides make a couple of Facebook posts.
Unless Rawstory had a hell of a lot more information and evidence, this is really terrible journalism.
These may be our political "enemies" but there is no need to lie about them. That's the shit Trump does.

(1,076 posts)of what it is like to lose a loved one. My words here will have no affect on this gentleman, but leave the families alone. The loss of a loved one under the Sandy Hook circumstances is never forgotten. It is the same as in Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq and anywhere else in the national interest. It is in our national interest that those kids grow up. There is no deception by the national median. Just, maybe "AH", they (the media) are critical thinkers and questioning our leadership is needed.
