As Twitchy told you earlier, the New York Daily News sent heads to desks with a pathetically forced attempt to blame the NRA for the school shooting in Florida.
'Amazing smear': NY Daily News gets CLOBBERED for 'vile and misleading' spin connecting NRA to school shooter https://t.co/NybArhx1qG

Next up, ThinkProgress:
The NRA donated $10,000 to help train the Parkland shooting suspect to use a rifle https://t.co/pilyHhWS0q pic.twitter.com/tk0ZLwsCnh

At this point we’re overdosing on facepalms, but expected nothing less:
What this shameless clickbait headline doesn’t mention is the NRA donation went to the U.S. Army’s JROTC program — and what this article doesn’t mention is, during the the shooting, young JROTC members used the JROTC’s Kevlar sheets to shield a group of ~60 students from gunfire. https://t.co/CefY0GdRnD

They're referring to Junior ROTC, which as we all know is the true source of evil in modern America. https://t.co/yJ1qBymlZP

Oh and by the way, here's how those Junior ROTC kids actually acquitted themselves on that dreadful day. One of them sacrificed his life. https://t.co/4P4lzdN55E

There’s is no bottom of the barrel for anti-NRA/#2A lefties, apparently.
Junior ROTC is bad?

I know right? Wasn't it two ROTC kids that had the wits to cover their fellow students with kevlar mats? Wasn't it those kids who stepped up took charge and got students to safety???

More lies from @thinkprogress.
It was a donation to the school’s JROTC program, used for things like their Air Rifle Team.

NRA donates to school JROTC programs, and Think Progress smears them like this. Shameful. https://t.co/I0CWtJqa5o

This guy was EXPELLED. And you failed to mention how other JROTC members used their Kevlar, bought with the same money, to SHIELD other students. #MoreFakeNews

Should be, but they won’t be.
