Progressives faced a number of triggering developments Thursday, most importantly the House passage of the American Health Care Act. The meltdown that followed saw Obamacare’s defenders seeing how far they could stretch the death toll were the legislation to reach the president’s desk: thousands, tens of thousands, millions … everyone?
For some, the assault began the night before, as Vice President Mike Pence appeared at the Susan B. Anthony List’s 10th annual Campaign for Life Gala.
For the first time in a long time, America has an administration that’s filled from top to bottom with defenders of life. #SBAgala

That’s cute, guys, but way to start with the false premise that the unborn count as lives … didn’t you watch super-scientist Bill Nye’s video?
Liberals say some crazy things during mass meltdowns, and Moms Demand founder Shannon Watts might have pulled something after stretching to get in on the fun.
Says the man with an A rating from the @NRA because he supports giving felons and domestic abusers easy access to guns. https://t.co/J2yVTQUdS3

Um … first of all, that’s straight-up offensive. Felons? Didn’t Watts notice that the Obama administration scrubbed the word “felon” from its communications because affixing a label like “felon” or “convict” to a felon or convict was alleged to “drain their sense of self-worth and perpetuate a cycle of crime”?
Are you drunk? Felons and abusers are prohibited possessors. Where has Pence pushed to give them access? #NRA https://t.co/OKEiG5UuE0 pic.twitter.com/NeKpvJMv1a

@DLoesch Straight up lie.

@DLoesch looks like it's becoming a full time job for you to correct this woman's BS… Hard working Dana.

@SavageTalkP @DLoesch Which is why she blocks ANYONE who challenges her statements with, you know, FACTS.

@DLoesch Facts don't matter when you're trying to relentlessly push an agenda

@DLoesch Shannon has a habit of lying to her blind sheep followers, & blocking anyone that may expose her as dishonest,creating her own safe space.
— BuckInTennessee (@BuckInTennessee) May 4, 2017
@DLoesch Typical lib tactic. Throw firebombs regardless of truth. The punch is in the hyperbole. Truth & accuracy is not needed.

@DLoesch She's now beating the pulp that was the dead horse.
— Dustin Brinnon (@mrbrinnon) May 5, 2017
@DLoesch I say she's crossed the line into libel and should be prosecuted on that basis.
— Downtown Indy (@SSJIndy) May 4, 2017
@SSJIndy @DLoesch literally no one supports that. I think she thinks if she blocks everyone she disagrees with she can just say crazy shit unchallenged 24/7
— joey (@CaptainInterweb) May 5, 2017
@DLoesch The problem is that @shannonrwatts, and people like her, know that their followers blindly believe anything they say.
— A Kermode Bear (@AKermodeBear) May 4, 2017
@DLoesch Pretty sure she's just going through withdrawals from not having King Obama in office… @shannonrwatts

@DLoesch I never heard of it! Felon has a gun,back to prison he goes.
— Richard Clark (@tallboy1951) May 4, 2017
And up until January, might very well have had his sentence commuted, as long as the felony gun possession conviction was just “tacked on” to an unfairly harsh drug conviction to make his sentence even longer and maintain the unbalanced racial makeup of the prison population.
@DLoesch Says #gunsense hero @shannonrwatts, the woman that actually supports armed violent criminals instead of defending women. She's pathetic. pic.twitter.com/XtrLGCpYnT
