Father of Parkland Victim Rips NRA at Senate Hearing Over ‘Time Is Running Out’ Ad

Fred Guttenberg, who has already eviscerated Marco Rubio on live TV, is in Washington advocating for gun control – this time with his sights set on the NRA.

Guttenberg, who lost his 14-year-old daughter Jaime in the Parkland shooting, went to a Senate hearing on gun violence and explained some of the tactics that NRA TV and Dana Loesch have been using to intimidate lawmakers.

“I’m not sure how many of you are aware of the video that the NRA put out two days ago, okay, because they put a target on all of your backs,” Guttenberg said. “Here is Dana Loesch… telling everybody that if they don’t get behind the NRA, their time is running out.”

“I ask you a question,” he continued. “If this was put out by a terrorist organization, we would be raising the terror threat level in this country. Why are we letting this lobby have anything to do with D.C.? I don’t understand it!”

Below you can view the video Guttenberg is referring to:

“To every lying member of the media, to every Hollywood phony, to the role model athletes who use their free speech to alter and undermine what our flag represents…Your Time is running out. The clock starts now.”
