I wrote the other day about NRA flak Dana Loesch saying that she wants to see journalists who exhibit what she considers bias “curb-stomped.” Now she’s denying that she said that, even though it’s on video for all to see. And she has an incredibly dishonest excuse for it.





On Twitter, after it was brought up by a journalist, she said she “never said I wanted such a thing” and said that her accuser “falsely and blatantly stated that I called for violence.” But here she is, on video, saying exactly what she claims she didn’t say:

. @DLoesch claims she didn't say this She called for journalists to be curb-stomped CURB STOMPED: "Making someone bite the curb is a form of assault in which a victim's mouth is forcefully placed on a curb & then stomped from behind, causing severe injuries & sometimes death." pic.twitter.com/xaiy10Tquh — Shaun King (@ShaunKing) June 29, 2018

And her ridiculously dishonest defense:

Straw man. I was specifically discussing bias, which is why you edited the clip to omit that so you could smear me the way you did the cop in Grapevine. And you’re using it to blame me for the stalker in Maryland. Shame on you. — Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) June 29, 2018

It’s the classic “you took that out of context” claim, but the context not only doesn’t change what she said, the context she claims exonerates her was her justification for what she said — journalists are biased and therefore she wants to see them curb-stomped. Her followers are falling for it, of course, because they’re idiots who will believe anything.
