Anytime a shooting that the media wants to pay attention to occurs — Chicago and Dayton are quickly being forgotten about — many people on the left immediately log onto Twitter and head straight for Dana Loesch.

Dana Loesch is arguably the most famous gun rights advocate in America. As such, everyone from your average keyboard warrior to mainstream media figures will begin attacking Loesch for no better reason than being a woman who people can recognize in relation to guns.

Naturally, after the El Paso shooting occurred, Loesch became the focal point of a lot of people’s hatred and anger.

No, I don’t, and ridiculous remarks like these betray any concern you feel for the people whose deaths you’re exploiting right now in such a vile manner. Get some empathy and Jesus in your life. God bless. https://t.co/aRZQxTkcFc

Nope. But you have listed on your site as guiding your vision an anti-Semite who promotes BDS and once threatened to take the vagina of a female genital mutilation survivor because she didn’t like her thoughts https://t.co/WXkrJ2mNKf . Perhaps sit this one out. https://t.co/ZCVIpKlD4c

My hands are clean. Maybe try holding the murderers responsible. God bless. https://t.co/l9MV3RxseF

No, it isn’t. You should try blaming the actual murderers instead of women you don’t know online. God bless. https://t.co/fUq32ytv23

I don’t work with any organization and no, I don’t. Rethink your hatefulness here Aimee. God bless. https://t.co/cLAelervcE

So on, and so on, and so on. By now, this “blood on your hands” line from the left is uttered about as much as the word “white supremacist” is when they talk about President Donald Trump. “Gun lady evil” could be a meme right up there with “orange man bad.”

The problem is that it’s not just your typical blue checkmark and internet rando that comes after Loesch. The mainstream media seem to love putting the blame on people like Loesch too. After El Paso, the mainstream media decided to jump on Dana Loesch by trying out this brand new strategy that we’ve never seen before; taking something she had said completely out of context.

It started when CNN’s Joan Walsh decided to make a snide comment about Loesch’s connection with beet juice.

She thinks it's beet juice.

— Joan Walsh (@joanwalsh) August 3, 2019

Walsh was called out for trying to attack Loesch in the midst of the tragedy by confusing beet juice with blood, and Walsh responded with more insults. Loesch simply responded that she has nothing on her hands.

I have absolutely nothing on my hands, Joan. https://t.co/1ByKDym8OL

Another blue checkmark told Loesch to look more closely, insinuating Loesch really was to blame for what happened. When Loesch called out the fact that they were directing hate toward her that could inevitably lead to violence from those angered by Loesch’s supposed part in the shootings, MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough decided to take a swipe at Loesch by making himself and his wife Mika Brzezinski sound like a victim of her rhetoric.

You have a lot of nerve, inciting violence against my wife and me in an NRATV ad. Looking to camera after rolling one inflammatory clip after another and then ominously telling us, “Your time is running out.”
Seriously? You are shameless. https://t.co/gUPp6Fhn4m

— Joe Scarborough (@JoeNBC) August 4, 2019

Scarborough is purposefully misrepresenting Loesch’s “your time is running out” quote by not even acknowledging what Loesch was talking about, or the context with which she said it. Loesch called him out on this.

You mean the ad where actual footage of Antifa violence played while I condemned it in a VO? More malicious representation, Joe. I’m not going to comment on an ongoing fight between two entities that had nothing to do with me. https://t.co/I2fjFsGya5

— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) August 4, 2019

Again, you’re purposefully and maliciously trying to make an ad that announced a start of a program focusing on media bias to be something it wasn’t. That’s disingenuous, Joe. https://t.co/S0xMC2K6DR

— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) August 4, 2019

Then Brzezinski joined in the fray, making it sound as if Loesch was the one who picked the fight in the first place.

Hi Mika, no, I didn’t, and it’s disingenuous to misrepresent an ad that literally was about a program launch to such a malicious level. You Tweeted to me, not me to you. God bless. https://t.co/3OQzQqhBBz

— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) August 4, 2019

Brzezinski had a flute to play, however, and kept going after Loesch while trying to pretend like it was Loesch on the attack. The MSNBC co-host kept telling Loesch to leave her alone while continuously tweeting insults at her. Brzezinski even went so far as to claim she picked the fight with Scarborough.

Since you keep Tweeting me, again I’ll say that it’s incredibly disingenuous to make an ad that was about a program launch into something so malicious. It wasn’t about you, Mika. I don’t find you revolting, just wrong here. Sincerely, God bless. https://t.co/fcwO3Fg5Jx

— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) August 4, 2019

For the third time, since you keep Tweeting me as I never Tweeted to you, you’re maliciously misrepresenting an ad that announced the launch of a program that discussed media bias. I wish you well. https://t.co/mPbbBoPkfs

— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) August 4, 2019

Mika, it was a show announcement. For a program I did. On media bias. Specifically. I’m not sure why you are trying so hard to make this all about you. Also, if people criticize you for your bias, it isn’t a “threat.” Be well. https://t.co/buasuEDzif

There’s plenty more to choose from. Visit Loesch’s page. She posts and retweets the hate thrown at her in Breitbartian fashion.

Loesch has been dealing with this nonsense for ages. The “blood on your hands” line has been repeated so much to her, especially lately, that it’s taken on the same feel as a zombified sounding cult chant. She’s obviously not to blame for the shooting, but she’s a lightning rod for people looking for someone to take their anger out on.

The problem is that the media leads this charge against her and for a solid reason. Loesch has proven them wrong time after time and is one of the few people who will actually walk into their territory to actually fight for gun rights in the face of a hostile crowd. If they truly want to push their agenda, one of the first steps is bringing down Loesch.

Of course, that’s easier said than done, especially when it’s done by people who are trying to self-victimize while on the attack like Scarborough and Brzezinski.

But whether they succeed or not — heavy emphasis on “not” — what they are doing is directing an inordinate amount of hate toward a woman who has only ever promoted the idea of gun safety and education while fiercely defending law-abiding gun owners right to have a firearm. Loesch has already had to move before due to the threats that have come her way, and here the mainstream media is making the problem worse.

But what else is new for them?
