Libs & Progs have been making all kinds of lurid claims that Dana Loesch's recent NRA ad promotes violence. Others have defended her, saying the claims have no basis in what she said in the ad. While I'm inclined to believe the defenses, I knew the best way to see who is speaking the truth is to ...
(GASP!) ... watch the video. It's just a minute long. I transcribed it, below. The punctuation and paragraphing is mine; I've not seen the script. Please post corrections if I missed or misunderstood anything.

They use their media to assassinate real news. They use their schools to teach children that their President is another Hitler. They use their movie stars and singers and comedy shows and award shows to repeat their narrative over and over again.
And then they use their ex-President to endorse The Resistance, all to make them march, make them protest make them scream "Racism" and "Sexism" and "Xenophobia" and "Homophobia", to smash windows, burn cars, shut down Interstates and airports, bully and terrorize the law-abiding until the only option left is for the police to do their jobs and stop the madness. And when that happens, they'll use it as an excuse for their outrage.
The only way we stop this, the only way we save our country and our freedom is to fight this violence of lies with the clenched fist of truth.
I'm the National Rifle Association of America, and I'm freedom's safest place.
There's only one sentence in which Dana Loesch advocated anything:
The only way we stop this, the only way we save our country and our freedom is to fight this violence of lies with the clenched fist of truth.
The sentence is carefully crafted to make even literalizing her obvious metaphor and pretzellating her obvious meaning into advocacy of literal violence difficult. The Libs' and Progs' claims are lies and falsehoods, not that truth has much significance in current Lib/Prog politics.
