Dana Loesch crushed Bill Maher Friday night after he called her a “show business wannabe,” blaming her hatred of Hollywood on having a sitcom rejected.
“Sorry @Mediaite and @billmaher , but I never pitched anything to some Weinstein-wannabe skeeze I don’t know. Very forward-thinking and not at all misogynistic of you to not even ask the woman for comment before running with an idiotic story that never happened. Chauvinists,” the conservative commentator tweeted Friday night.

“Also, I’ve had an agent handle my business for years,” she added in a second tweet. “Why would I cold call some strange rando? Bizarre skeezeball trying to hitch his name to mine for press needs to take a hike. I’ve never had an interest in tv beyond what I do now.”

The comments came in response to a segment on HBO’s “Real Time With Bill Maher” when Maher called for a type of “affirmative action for Republicans in show business” so they will stop taking their “rejection out on the whole country.” He claimed Loesch once unsuccessfully pitched a sitcom to a Hollywood producer.

“What you may not know about Dana Loesch is that before her job as NRA spokesmodel she was a show business wannabe,” Maher explained. “NCIS producer Paul Gyot says that 10 years ago Dana pitched him a sitcom starring herself as ‘a hot young mom who does far right radio show.'”
“And do you know what? If only they made that sitcom, today, she might be a completely normal person,” he added. “Instead, we’re all getting the ‘clenched fist of truth’ because show business gave her the raised finger of fuck off.”
“We need affirmative action for Republicans in show business,” he continued. “They’re not good enough to make it on their own, but if we give them a leg up, maybe they won’t take their rejection out on the whole country.”
