Dana Loesch Defends ‘Flat-Chested’ Comments, Attacks Trump Supporters’ ‘Zealous Hypocrisy’
After facing backlash from Donald Trump supporters after she called a Trump supporter who was undergoing a double mastectomy “flat-chested” on her radio show, The Blaze’s Dana Loesch doubled down and called out Trump supporters for their hypocrisy.
When contacted by the Daily Caller Tuesday, Loesch stood by her comments about CNN contributor Kayleigh McEnany. “Anyone who defends a candidate that has mocked a reporter’s disability, POWs, and blasted women as ‘bimbos’ with ‘blood coming out of their wherever’ surely has no problem with my addressing surrogates in a similar fashion,” she said. “I’m sorry for the struggles she had but perhaps being the ‘victim’ of my words can give her an insight into the kind of harm Trump’s words inflicts on others.”
In a Wednesday blog post called “On Zealous Hypocrisy,” Loesch stood by her remarks and repeated similar themes, calling out Trump supporters for attacking her online for her comments while standing by Trump’s own terrible comments.
She explained that her “flat-chested” insult was intended to reveal Trump supporters’ hypocrisy: “Her statement was asinine and my observation, delivered in the stated style of Donald Trump, was absolutely valid. That I chose this rhetorical device (I even predicted the outrage and literally mocked it mid-monologue in the video) served the purpose of highlighting the hypocrisy of these most fervent supporters, and they didn’t disappoint with their hypocritical reaction.”
“They mob-rage against anyone who demonstrates the slightest difference of opinion with them on Trump-the-candidate and when faced with feedback or criticism they recoil, as do feminists and Black Lives Matter, in want of a safe space. It’s the furthest thing possible from being “politically incorrect.” In fact, this most fervent group’s behavior is the epitome of Social Justice Warrior Political Correctness,” she wrote.
“In conclusion: My observation as to the bouncers of conservatism was absolutely valid and deserving. My delivery served the stated purpose of showcasing the hypocrisy of this group.”
