If you didn’t watch last night’s CNN town hall on the Parkland shooting, the moment of the night had to have been when Dana Loesch fired back at Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel over his office’s handling of the 39 calls to Nikolas Cruz’s house that resulted in no action over the past few years:

When Dana asked Israel about the 39 number — which has been widely reported in the media — Israel even tried to play the fake news card:
Sheriff on CNN's town hall just called it fake news that law enforcement made 39 visits to the shooter's home. That number has been reported by, among other outlets, CNN. No fact-check from Tapper.

Well, shouldn’t he want to know more about this?

But, nah — according to Israel, it’s the NRA and guns that are the problem:
Pretty ridiculous for the Sheriff who actually could have stopped the shooter during his departments 39 interactions with him but didn't to blame anyone else for what happened.

The audience, however, chose to be mad at Dana instead:

Isreal said she was wrong and asked where she got her facts.
