Conservative Pundit Dana Loesch: All Bundy Needed Was Some Media Training!
CATHERINE THOMPSON – APRIL 24, 2014, 11:13 AM EDT
Conservative radio host Dana Loesch believes "the left" is seizing on non-media-trained Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy's remarks about blacks in an attempt to link his anti-government activism to racism.
The New York Times reported Wednesday that Bundy referred to blacks as "the Negro" and criticized what he perceived as welfare abuse in a press conference over the weekend.
"And I’ve often wondered, are they better off as slaves, picking cotton and having a family life and doing things, or are they better off under government subsidy?" he said, as quoted by the Times.
Loesch wondered in a blog post published Thursday what the rancher's comments had to do with his crusade against the Bureau of Land Management. She conceded that Bundy's remarks sounded "offensive" when taken at face value, but then defended him as being merely inarticulate -- "an old man rancher isn’t media trained to express himself perfectly," she wrote. She further suggested Bundy really meant to condemn "what big government has done to the black family."
