"In her CPAC speech Thursday, Loesch also excoriated CNN for its gun control town hall on Wednesday, where attendees booed her and called her a "murderer" for her gun rights activism in the wake of last week's carnage at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. CNN was the "malicious" party, Loesch said, for letting those accusations stand."

. . . "In an interview with The Federalist Radio Hour Podcast Thursday, NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch revealed more details suggesting CNN deliberately orchestrated the town hall to stir up anti-gun and anti-NRA emotions, including neglecting to give Loesch any context for the event, protecting pro-gun control speaker Sen. Bill Nelson, and allowing angry activists to accuse Loesch of being a "murderer" and call for violence against her.
"Loesch stressed that she was given no prior information about what she was walking into. "I had nothing in advance," Loesch told the Federalist. "I didn’t know how the setup was going to be. I didn’t know it was going to be in a giant arena where it was 360 all the way around. I had no clue."
"Prior to her appearance, CNN appears to have taken steps to ramp up the crowd's emotions.
"They had music that was playing," said Loesch. "They had montages that they were flashing across the screen. They had a number of speakers from the school and from the community. They had the sheriff go up and speak. He mentioned special interest groups, referring to the membership of the NRA. Then they brought the politicians out . . . and that was the first hour."
"After all the buildup, CNN had Loesch enter as if she were "a boxer" or in the "WWE."
" 'After all of this was already happening, after emotions were already running high, and after CNN put everyone together and cranked up, really trying to wind people up even more," she said. "I had no questions in advance. It was even weird the way they had us walk out because it was like entering like you were a boxer or like WWE. You were walking up to the stage and they had music playing. You had to walk in aisles with all these people screaming and you had to walk toward the stage."
"At one moment, the moderator, Jake Tapper, gave Nelson an out, telling him he didn't have to answer what appeared to be an unscripted question. Though he stepped in to protect Nelson, no such protection was offered Loesch throughout the night." . . .
