Beg your PARDON? USA Today's spin on 'Kill the NRA' billboard tag is 'simply VILE'

As Twitchy told you, a vandal (or vandals) defaced a Kentucky billboard to read “Kill the NRA.”

Here’s how USA Today covered it:

A vandalized billboard in Louisville is calling out the National Rifle Association. https://t.co/3VSA0Q5S5A

Beg your pardon?

To be fair, they may have gotten their marching orders from the Democratic Coalition:

A vandalized billboard along a major interstate in Louisville is calling out the @NRA following the recent school shootings in Kentucky and Florida. The sign reads "Kill the NRA." https://t.co/LXaYd5nx0X #NeverAgain

Ugh.

An seminal moment in “journalism”a real round of applause for the editorial board.

Amazing how that works.

I'm guessing your reaction would be a lot different if someone "called out" Planned Parenthood in similar fashion.
