Musician and NRA board member Ted Nugent claimed the survivors of the Parkland, Fla., shooting who have turned their tragedy into anti-gun violence activism are “soulless.”
“To attack the good law-abiding families of America when well known predictable murderers commit these horrors is deep in the category of soulless,” Nugent said Friday on Newsmax’s “The Joe Pags Show” of the high school students who have taken center stage on the fight for gun control.
“These poor children, I’m afraid to say this, and it hurts me to say this, but the evidence is irrefutable, they have no soul,” he added.
The conservative firebrand blamed the mainstream media for feeding the teenage activists’ “lies” and academia for manifesting “the dumbing down of America.”
Nugent has long made national headlines for his off-color remarks, such as suggesting that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton be hung for treason after the deadly 2012 attack at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
