(CNN) In June of 2017, the National Rifle Association posted a video online featuring the conservative commentator Dana Loesch. "The video ends, about 45 seconds later, with what -- to the untrained ear -- sounds like a non sequitur. In Loesch's NRA video, she concludes that "the only way we save our country and our freedom, is to fight this violence of lies with the clenched fist of truth." Crying white mothers are ratings gold to you and many in the legacy media in the back (of the ballroom)." Both talking points, like so much of the messaging in the June 2017 video, were firmly in line with Trump's own.
