Washington (CNN)The National Rifle Association's national spokeswoman argued Thursday that "many in legacy media love mass shootings" during a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference.

"Many in legacy media love mass shootings. You guys love it," Dana Loesch said Thursday. "Now I'm not saying that you love the tragedy. But I am saying that you love the ratings. Crying white mothers are ratings gold to you and many in the legacy media in the back (of the room)."

"And 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?" Loesch asked. "Where's the CNN town hall for Chicago? Where's the CNN town hall for sanctuary cities?"

Loesch also voiced frustrations with the FBI, which was warned about the alleged shooter's disturbing behavior prior to the incident, and law enforcement officials, who encountered warning signs about him prior to last week's killings.

1. She has to protect profits.

[forgotmylogin]

2. So, she'd like to shoot the messenger

To deflect causality from the NRA. What a nightmare of a lying, twisting, PR spokesmodel she is.

3. I'm fine with a Chicago town hall about gun violence.

Don't think she'd be happy with what is said though.

4. Saw a great tweet about her:

Dana Loesch came to me 10yrs ago pitching a sitcom starring herself: “A hot young mom who does far right radio show.” Said her age & looks would make 1 side hate her & 1 love her so everyone would watch. Was obsessed w the potential fame & money. I turned her down.

And btw - what the hell is "legacy media"?

11. "Legacy Media" equals "Mainstream Media"

CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC which are "Fake News" in the RW mind. Not Fox, or Twitter or Facebook.

5. Id like to see a billboard in that Florida town

Saying “Congratulations to the NRA for making another mass murder possible!”

6. Dead kids are great for sweeps month!

7. This person is so full of hate

her glaring eyes and the way she spits the violent language...

I've seen 3 or 4 videos of her now and the amount of hatred she has for Liberals and Democrats and the MSM and, well, everyone not a christian conservative member of the NRA is both sad and frightening.

I honestly believe she would arrest and deport or execute all of us if it was within her power.

I think the country is edging closer and closer to an actual civil war... only this time there aren't the clear geographic dividing lines.

9. She radiates hate

[pangaia]

8. Well, UNFORTUNATELY..

I have to agree with part of this..

media likes blood and guts and fires and disasters, and train wrecks.. because, for some unfathomable reason.. "people" want to see it... $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

[SoCalMusicLover]

14. 9/11 Gave The Media Ratings Too....

I suppose she thinks the media hopes every day for another 9/11 attack, because after all, RATINGS!!

[pangaia]

17. Right you are...

[LiberalLovinLug]

10. Other than the unavoidable collateral damage thingy....

...EVERYBODY WINS!!!

Why are you complaining?

[Blue_Tires]

12. We knew the "pushback" was coming and we knew it was going to be ugly

So what's the plan now??

[SoCalMusicLover]

13. Hey You Piece Of Shit!

Have to make it a race issue too, huh?

The media would cover it just as closely if every single victim had been black. Because you know why? Seventeen HUMANS being slaughtered by your PRECIOUS, is newsworthy. It matters not what color, religion, sex they are.

[UpInArms]

15. What an absolute crock of shit

Covering fatalities of any type were the lowest moments of my time as a journalist

[SoCalMusicLover]

16. I Suppose She Prefer The Media NOT Cover These Tragedies

Would that make her feel better? If the media did not cover something newsworthy, like the slaughter of 17 humans?

[DoctorJoJo]

19. Dana "Leech" Is One Of The Most Vile ...

... bitches on the planet! If these NRA pukes had their way, every man and woman of age 18 and older in the country would have an AR-15 with huge loaded magazines. What could possibly go wrong? Then they would argue that the age should go lower, as long as the kids had passed the NRA's Bucky Beaver safety course, or whatever TF they are calling it these days! These people are just dangerously deranged!

20. Just saw video of this on CNN. What a scary, intense woman. Too much.
