NRA TV’s Dana Loesch attacked “Thomas & Friends” for introducing an African tank named Nia, going so far as to show the children show’s characters with Ku Klux Klan hoods on their heads.

During a segment on her show “Relentless,” Loesch criticized the kids program for adding girl trains and a character from Africa. Last month, the show ― which is broadcast around the world ― revealed that it’d be bringing on two new female characters: Rebecca, and the aforementioned Nia, who comes from Kenya.

In Loesch’s heated segment, the gun advocate was incredulous as to why a show like “Thomas & Friends” would need diversity. She called the move “awful” and said the tanks’ next stop is “Virtue Town” all while the banner below her read: “SJW’s now ruining childhood.”

Will this nightmare never end?

4. Sickening ain't it?

Trump brought all these racist haters out from under their rocks and gave them a megaphone.

2. What does this even have to do with guns?

A childrens' television program added some characters.

And this is a threat to gun ownership in some way?

3. The right in this country is full on racist

They don't even try to hide it anymore as this pathetic story shows!

7. A Children Show From A Different Country, No Less

While i understand the "know what the other side is saying" idea, i really see zero value is paying attention or caring what Losch has to say.

5. "Are you angry about girl trains? A gun and the NRA can help!"

6. It's a *cartoon,* you loathsome tool.

8. so the NRA decided to dress up the cute little trains from a kiddy cartoon in KKK hoods?

the crazy is on nitro tap today
to be fair, they have been known to masquerade as dragons in Skyrim

so now they're grand dragons?

13. There was also one that turned the dragons into Randy Savage.

9. I guess she really only wants white boy trains

Coupling and uncoupling all day long.

As for making the characters wearing hoods, that seems pretty straightforward. She's a kluxer.
