National Rifle Association spokeswoman Dana Loesch announced Sunday on Twitter that her family had been forced to move suddenly after she received multiple death threats from gun control advocates.

Loesch, a conservative commentator and syndicated talk radio host, followed the announcement of her family's move by condemning the way politically progressive society has treated not just her, but conservative women as a whole.

In the wake of Harvey Weinstein's sexual misconduct allegations, many women are telling their stories of assault on Twitter, using the hashtag, #MeToo. Loesch used the hashtag to tell her story of how she is being threatened for her views on guns and the Second Amendment.

First, Loesch tweeted out a picture of a number of filled garbage bags piled up as she prepared for the move.

> #MeToo.

> 2 One guy hunted down my private cell phone number, called when police were here, threatened to shoot me in my front yard. #MeToo

> 3 Another guy created a string of social media accounts, posted photos of my house, threatened to rape me to death. #MeToo

Loesch said it wasn't just her who was targeted, but her family as well.

> 4 Another gun control advocate, after threatening to hunt me down and assault me, dragged my kids into it. #MeToo

> 5 I’m grateful that my kids’ school worked with law enforcement and private security to ensure campus safety, and work with me. #MeToo

> — Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) October 16, 2017

Loesch also tweeted about the way conservative women are treated generally in society.

> 6 I’ve only ever discussed these issues kinda vaguely. More I can’t discuss. I and other 2A women are sexually threatened regularly #MeToo

> — Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) October 16, 2017

> 7 I’m not sad, just determined. Maybe someday ppl will drop the ideological boundaries and not cherry-pick concern. Maybe someday. #MeToo

> — Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) October 16, 2017

> 8 When you think of it, it’s amazing/sad to see the treatment of women on social media who do not identify as progressive.

> — Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) October 16, 2017

The NRA spokeswoman specifically mentioned people who have praised the victims of Weinstein, yet have criticized conservatives like Loesch who have been treated similarly.

> 9 I see conservative women regularly abused on social media by some of the same people slamming Weinstein.

> — Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) October 16, 2017

> 10 The culture is only non-conservative women deserve respect. It’s idiotic, demonstrated daily, and deserving of more than 140 chars.

> — Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) October 16, 2017

> 11 If "inequality" was truly a concern for modern feminists, they’d defend, not shame, women for making choices antithetical 2 progressivism

> — Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) October 16, 2017

> 12 But they sold out by tying their cause to party & don’t defend conserv women as strategy. Some sexism is ok if it silences conservatives

> — Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) October 16, 2017

> 13 Feminism should’ve defended women, regardless of party. Let ideas battle it out in the public sphere, but everyone speaks.

> — Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) October 16, 2017

> 14 Anyway, this is why I get heated about this. Have experienced first hand and witnessed other women endure the same.

> — Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) October 16, 2017

Some, who are at odds with Loesch politically, rose to her defense and called out such threats, including Chelsea Clinton.

> Dana – this is all awful & unacceptable. Those of us who disagree with you the strongest have a particular responsible to strongly condemn. https://t.co/jJXk9VB54p
