NRA Controversies

Loesch was the subject of major controversy during her time as a spokesperson for the National Rifle Association, mostly for various comments she made. In 2017, she was widely denounced for an online NRA video that promoted police violence against American citizens. The same year, Loesch was criticized for another NRA video in which she called the New York Times an "untrustworthy, dishonest rag that has subsisted on the welfare of mediocrity." In early 2018, she was decried for stating that the NRA had no responsibility in stopping gun violence in the United States. Later in the year, Loesch said that the police shooting of Philando Castile was justified.

Other Controversies

In early 2012, Loesch generated controversy for defending US Marines who were videotaped urinating on dead Taliban fighters. Later, in 2016, she got pushback when she called the mainstream media "the rat bastards of the Earth" and "the boil on the backside of American politics."
