What would you call someone who opens fire in a school and cowardly murders 17 innocent students? The President of the United States called that person a “savage sicko” and I think most people would agree with that. The clowns over at fake news CNN however find the President’s terminology to be problematic. Why? Because it is offensive to school shooters apparently. I’m not making this up. CNN is calling Trump out for pegging a psychopathic killer as a sicko.

Here’s what CNN considers both real and important news:

Trump’s language on school shooter’s mental health could be harmful, experts say

In a tweet Thursday, President Donald Trump described someone who would shoot up a school as a “savage sicko.” At CNN’s town hall on the Parkland, Florida, school shootings on Wednesday, NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch described the gunman as “an insane monster” who is “nuts” and crazy.” And at a White House briefing Thursday, the President again used the term “sicko.”

And your point is?

“Hearing language like this is a punch to the gut, particularly if we have a goal as a nation to increase access to mental health care. This is about the worst thing you can do,” said Ron Honberg, from the National Alliance on Mental Illness.

Killing 17 innocent people is not a bad thing, but Trump calling the killer a sicko is the worst thing a person can do? CNN sure knows how to pick “experts” don’t they?

This is already one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever read, but CNN managed to make it the single most absurd thing ever written. Yup, they found a guy who thinks this proves Trump’s racism as well:

“How helpful is calling a black person the n-word? Not only is it disrespectful, it fans racism. Using such language when it comes to people with mental illness is the height of disrespect and the height of ignorance, as it reduces some hugely complex person down to a diagnosis,” said Pat Corrigan, a psychology professor at the Illinois Institute of Technology.

This CNN expert actually just said that Trump calling a mass murderer who killed 17 people a sicko is the same thing as calling a black person who did nothing the N-word. That actually is sick.

This is CNN saying that they hate Trump so much that they will side with a cold-blooded killer just to oppose him. It’s like how they love brutal dictator Kim Jong Un and his sister as a way to resist the freely-elected President of the United States. This is Trump Derangement Syndrome to the extreme and a perfect example of how truly horrible liberals are.

And guess what? It’s the entire network that is attacking Trump over this. Check out this tweet from CNN’s Brooke Baldwin:

I wonder how people suffering from mental illness in this country feel about @realDonaldTrump calling them “sickos.”

I wonder if she wonders how law-abiding gun owners like being called terrorists and killers, because that’s what the entire liberal media and leftists everywhere are doing. Responsible gun owners haven’t done anything, while the Florida school shooter took 17 innocent lives and here we have liberals sympathizing with the killer and calling good people monsters.

911 records show the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office (PBCSO) was reportedly told in November 2017 that Nickolas Cruz allegedly put a gun to someone’s head.

CNN reports that the day after Thanksgiving 2017, PBCSO was called and told that Cruz had allegedly hidden a gun in the backyard of a family with which he was staying. Deputies conducted a search, then wrote up the incident as “domestic unfounded.”

PBCSO was called four days later with a report that Cruz had allegedly “lashed out against the family that took him in.” Deputies found Cruz at a local park and spoke with him. He told them he was upset because he had lost a photo of his late mother. But the family with which he was staying claimed he had just bought a gun and they believed he was coming back to use it against them.

During the second 911 call, the dispatcher was told that Cruz was buying “tons of ammo” and had allegedly put “put [a] gun to others heads in the past.”

Cruz apologized for getting mad, and Rock Deschamps, a family member in the home where Cruz was staying, told the deputy “Cruz had been suffering significantly from the loss of his mother” earlier in the month.

The PBCSO took no action against Cruz.

Likewise, the FBI admitted that it did not act on a January 5, 2018, tip pertaining to “Cruz’s gun ownership, desire to kill people, erratic behavior, and disturbing social media posts, as well as the potential of him conducting a school shooting.”

Meanwhile, Democrat politicians and the establishment media reacted to the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Shooting by seeking to give the government even more control over our lives. Democrats and the establishment media do this by pushing more top-down gun control while rejecting teachers’ freedom to exercise Second Amendment rights in defense of themselves and their students.

Moreover, we are told that only law enforcement ought to be able to carry a gun at school or handle school security, yet the AP reports a Broward County Sheriff’s Deputy who was at Marjory Stoneman Douglas took a position by building 12 but failed to go and confront Cruz during his attack.

Are we really expected to look toward government, at any level, for our safety?

During a Wednesday listening session at the White House with survivors of mass shootings, including the one last week in Parkland, Florida, President Trump threw his support behind a tentative plan which could lead to one out of every five teachers in U.S. classrooms being armed and trained to combat school shootings.

According to the Boston Globe, Trump made the statement in response to a participant who said that “schools are soft targets” and that “we need to harden the targets by … increasing our deterrence capabilities so that a potential murderer knows that that’s not going to happen; that there’s going to be people there ready to respond.”

The president responded that he supported concealed carry on school campuses, while noting that “this would only be, obviously, for people that are very adept at handling a gun.”

The teachers involved would “go for special training. And they would be there, and you would no longer have a gun-free zone. A gun-free zone to a maniac — because they’re all cowards — a gun-free zone is, let’s go in and let’s attack, because bullets aren’t coming back at us.

“And if you do this — and a lot of people are talking about it, and it’s certainly a point that we’ll discuss — but concealed carry for teachers and for people of talent — of that type of talent. So let’s say you had 20 percent of your teaching force, because that’s pretty much the number … If you had a teacher with — who was adept at firearms, they could very well end the attack very quickly.”

Trump: “If you had a teacher who was adept at firearms, they could very well end the attack very quickly, and the good thing about a suggestion like that — and we’re going to be looking at it very strongly…but the good thing is you’ll have a lot of [armed] people with that.” pic.twitter.com/wGRSTDK38o

The president’s comments are a major win for Second Amendment supporters, many of whom expressed concern after Trump’s decision on Tuesday to direct the Department of Justice to ban bump stocks for rifles, even though bump stocks weren’t used in the Parkland shooting.

The president did add that “we’re going to be very strong on background checks. We’re going to be doing very strong background checks. Very strong emphasis on the mental health of somebody. And we are going to do plenty of other things.”

On the mental health aspect, the president seemed to intimate that he would look into significant improvements when it came to the mental hospital system.

“You know, years ago, we had mental hospitals — mental institutions,” Trump said.

“We had a lot of them, and a lot of them have closed. They’ve closed. Some people thought it was a stigma. Some people thought, frankly, it was a — the legislators thought it was too expensive.

“Today, if you catch somebody, they don’t know what to do with them. He hasn’t committed the crime, but he may (not be) very well. And there’s no mental institution, there’s no place to bring them. And we have that a lot.”

The president’s comments, to that end, seemed to reference several red flags raised about previous mass shooters in regard to their mental health. In the case of the Parkland shooter, tips to the FBI and more than 30 visits to the home of the shooter by police, many involving violence against his adopted mother, apparently didn’t worry officials enough to act.

There are plenty of things that need to be done in the wake of the Parkland shooting, of course. However, campus carry initiatives have been a long time in coming, particularly when you consider the fact that schools have been soft targets even almost 20 years after Columbine.

It’s time for that to change, and it looks like President Trump is heading in that direction.

Conservative commentator and NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch came prepared for CNN’s anti-gun event and brutally shut down the liberal network with facts on the NRA.

On Wednesday night, CNN held a town hall in Florida to push for gun control measures in the wake of the mass shooting at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.

The town hall reportedly had 7,000 attendees and featured Florida Sens. Marco Rubio, Democrat Bill Nelson, Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel and Dana Loesch.

As noted by the International Business Times, Loesch took every single question she was asked by the students who survived the shooting despite the raucous crowd yelling and trying to scream her down the every time she defended the Second Amendment.

In one exchange, Loesch was asked by student Emma Gonzalez if she believes it should be more difficult for individuals to own semi-automatic weapons and bump stocks.

“I don’t believe that this insane monster should have ever been able to obtain a firearm, ever. … I do not think that he should have gotten his hands on any kind of weapon,” Loesch said.

She was referring to confessed gunman Nikolas Cruz, the clearly disturbed 19-year-old who killed 17 people at the Florida high school.

“This individual was nuts, and I — nor the millions of people that I represent as a part of this organization that I’m here speaking for — none of us support people who are crazy, who are a danger to themselves, who are a danger to others, getting their hands on a firearm,” Loesch continued.

She added: “How was he able to pass a background check? He was able to pass a background check because we have a system that’s flawed.”

Amid the growing yelling over the slightest mention that the tragic shooting wasn’t the NRA’s fault, Loesch said states have largely failed to submit court convictions to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, which has made it more difficult to ensure those that are mentally ill and/or violent individuals can’t gain access to firearms.

The yelling got so bad that Gonzalez had to ask the crowd to allow Loesch to answer her question so she could offer a rebuttal.

Loesch also reminded the boisterous crowd that the NRA has made it clear it supports the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and a ban on bump stocks.

Check out the exchange below, where Loesch handled herself very well and scorched CNN for not reporting that the NRA supports important gun safety measures:

Not only did Loesch hold her composure while in hostile territory, she slammed CNN for failing to accurately cover the NRA’s positions on supporting a ban on bump stocks and finding a solution to prevent individuals with a mental illness from legally purchasing a firearm.

The leftist network refuses to make that clear to its audience, as they are determined to exploit the tragic shooting and use the students as pawns to push for gun control measures.

Loesch stood her ground and made it clear the NRA has supported measures to make it more difficult for a psycho to legally purchase a firearm.

A survivor of last week’s mass shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, suggested in a stunning interview Wednesday that the gun control-themed town hall event CNN hosted that evening between survivors of the shooting and various political figures was totally scripted.

Speaking with Fort Lauderdale station WPLG, survivor Colton Haab explained that though “CNN had originally asked me to write a speech and questions,” the network never intended to let him actually ask those questions.

As a result, Haab opted to not attend the event.

“Colton wrote questions about school safety, suggested using veterans as armed school security guards, but claims CNN wanted him to ask a scripted question instead. So he decided not to go,” WPLG explained.

“I don’t think that it’s going to get anything accomplished. It’s not going to ask the true questions that all the parents and teachers and students have,” Haab added.

Titled “Stand Up: The Students of Stoneman Douglas Demand Action,” the CNN-hosted event wound up being what renowned conservative commentator Ben Shapiro described as a “special One Hour Hate” fest.

From deriding National Rifle Association spokeswoman Dana Loesch as a bad mother and “murderer” to demonizing the NRA, the event was a completely one-sided affair that did indeed seem scripted.

Just to be clear, though, CNN has denied Haab’s allegation with a statement published via Twitter.

“There is absolutely no truth in this,” the network claimed. “CNN did not provide or script questions for anyone in last night’s town hall, nor have we ever.”

Should we believe the network? Many would resoundingly argue “no,” as CNN has repeatedly proven itself incapable of telling the truth. In fact, even the network’s defensive contains a glaring lie.

We know for a fact that during the last presidential election, then-CNN contributor Donna Brazille fed town hall questions to then-Democrat presidential nominee Hillary Clinton prior to a CNN-hosted town hall.

Similarly, CNN likewise only recently accused Sen. Ted Cruz for being too afraid to appear on the network for an interview. But then after the senator did in fact speak with its contributors, CNN chose to pretend like the interview never even happened.

Add the many, many, many examples together, and it becomes clear why “CNN has long ago forfeited any right to” the benefit of the doubt, as noted by RedState contributor “Streiff.” CNN is, after all, “very fake news.”

As for Haab, on the other hand, he’s a great, great, kid, not to mention a hero. And truth be told, he’s too good for CNN anyway.
