Loesch said at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference, “Many in legacy media love mass shootings in February 2018. You guys love it. Now I’m not saying that you love the tragedy. But I am saying that you love the ratings.” She later criticized the FBI’s response to warnings in advance of the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting and said that the institution had become politicized.
Later that month, Loesch said the NRA bore no responsibility for curbing gun violence. She also appeared in an NRA video in March 2018 in which she turned an hourglass and said to celebrities, politicians, and media figures, “Your time is running out. The clock starts now.” Loesch later said the video was not intended as a threat to shoot anyone.
In September 2018, Loesch said that the police shooting of Philando Castile was justified. The NRA cut ties with Ackerman McQueen, the advertising agency responsible for the production of NRATV in June 2019. She finally lost her role as a paid spokesperson for the NRA.
