The NRA put 'Thomas the Tank Engine' in white KKK hood to protest new diverse cast

The National Rifle Association is renowned for its brash and strange social media tactics, but this latest move might be its strangest - and most offensive - yet.

Viewers of the gun rights group’s online video channel “Relentless” saw spokeswoman Dana Loesch taking Thomas the Tank Engine to task for daring to diversify its cast. Yes, really.

Responding to news that the children’s show was adding several female and international characters, she said:

They’ve decided that the next stop is Virtue Town.

The segment echoed complaints by some that the additions amounted to "politically correctness" gone mad. But it also perplexed others who wondered why the NRA is getting involved in such an obscure topic.

Even more bizarrely, the segment then showed an image of the trains from the show dressed up in KKK hoods. Mocking the diversification, Loesch said sarcastically:

Fair, I get it. Thomas the Tank Engine has been a blight on race relations for far too long.

MAGA by attacking Thomas the frigging Tank Engine?!?!?! You really cannot make this shit up
On the bright side at least the NRA are showing their true colours and not even trying to hide being racist wankers anymore

1. Even worse?

I don’t think the new characters are permanent. Thomas is doing a world tour special.

NRA blew their last credibility on special guest stars.

Calling Karma.... we have someone who needs you.
