An ad released earlier this month by the National Rifle Association is making waves this week for its chilling call to fight liberals with "the clenched fist of truth."
The ad, narrated by conservative pundit Dana Loesch, starts by drawing a clear dichotomy between us versus them. "They use their media to assassinate real news. They use their schools to teach children that their president is another Hitler. They use their movie stars and singers and comedy shows and award shows to repeat their narrative over and over again. And then they use their ex-president to endorse 'the resistance,'" Loesch says.
