LaPierre's bonkers CPAC speech

National Rifle Association CEO Wayne LaPierre fired up the crowd at CPAC on Friday by angrily denouncing the protest movement against President Donald Trump, which he declared to be bordering on “terrorism.”

During his talk at CPAC, LaPierre told conservatives that, despite their victories in last November’s elections, their nightmare may “just be beginning.”

“Right now, we face a gathering of forces that are willing to use violence against us,” he said. “The leftist movement in this country right now is enraged. Among them, and behind them, are some of the most radical political elements there are. Anarchists, Marxists, communists, and the whole rest of the left-wing socialist brigade.”

LaPierre also noted that “many of these people hate everything America stands for,” including “democracy” and “free-market capitalism.”

What about a peaceful citizen of india gunned down in a bar in Kansas? That looks pretty fucking violent to me.
Their plan is to gaslight our democratic and peaceful movement so it looks like theirs violent hate fueled bullshit. We resist your fascism Wayne. Now if you had a heart instead of being the soulless prick you are, you would be grieving a man who came across the world just so a US citizen could shoot him to death.
