Spokeswoman for the National Rifle Association, Dana Loesch, revealed she is being forced to move her family from their home after “repeated” death threats against her.
The syndicated talk radio host announced the unanticipated move on Sunday following threats including one to “shoot me in my front yard.”
In a series of tweets on Sunday, Loesch spoke out about the harassment by gun control advocates, using the hashtag, #MeToo which has been utilized by other women sharing their own assault experiences in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein sex scandal.
#MeToo.

The 39 year-old called out the way progressives have treated her and other conservative women because of their views on guns and the Second Amendment.
6 I’ve only ever discussed these issues kinda vaguely. More I can’t discuss. I and other 2A women are sexually threatened regularly #MeToo

7 I’m not sad, just determined. Maybe someday ppl will drop the ideological boundaries and not cherry-pick concern. Maybe someday. #MeToo

8 When you think of it, it’s amazing/sad to see the treatment of women on social media who do not identify as progressive.

Loesch slammed those who are critical of conservative women while they praise women who are victims of Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein, who is facing multiple allegations of sexual harassment and assault ocurring over many decades.
9 I see conservative women regularly abused on social media by some of the same people slamming Weinstein.

10 The culture is only non-conservative women deserve respect. It’s idiotic, demonstrated daily, and deserving of more than 140 chars.

11 If “inequality” was truly a concern for modern feminists, they’d defend, not shame, women for making choices antithetical 2 progressivism
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) October 16, 2017
Loesch condemned feminists who “sold out” to party politics, saying they “should’ve defended women, regardless of party.”
12 But they sold out by tying their cause to party & don’t defend conserv women as strategy. Some sexism is ok if it silences conservatives
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) October 16, 2017
13 Feminism should’ve defended women, regardless of party. Let ideas battle it out in the public sphere, but everyone speaks.

The conservative author explained why the subject gets her “heated” and that she has experienced the hypocrisy “first hand.”
14 Anyway, this is why I get heated about this. Have experienced first hand and witnessed other women endure the same.

In an appearnce on Fox News Channel’s “The Story with Martha MacCallum” on Monday, Loesch gave “kudos” to an unlikely supporter who tweeted a response to her remarks.
Dana – this is all awful & unacceptable. Those of us who disagree with you the strongest have a particular responsible to strongly condemn. https://t.co/jJXk9VB54p

“She’s right,” Loesch said about Chelsea Clinton, saying she gave her “credit” for acknowledging it.
She also revealed the difficulty of trying to sell her home “conventionally” while living in it amid the security, adding praise for the FBI and local law enforcement who have helped her navigate through the situation.

Loesch said she does not hate anyone who disagrees with her stance on guns and that her advocacy for Second Amendment rights “isn’t magically designed to put a firearm” in someone’s hands.
“I just want someone to have that choice [to carry a weapon],” she said, adding that the threats just underscore the reason why she carries a weapon.
“I’ll never stand down,” she declared.
