The segment reportedly also agreed with some people complaining that the addional characters on the cartoon show amounted to politically correct pandering.
The National Rifle Association's (NRA) online video channel showed its spokesperson Dana Loesch slamming a children's show for its diversity by portraying the talking trains from the children’s television show 'Thomas & Friends,' wearing Ku Klux Klan hoods.
The show, 'Thomas & Freinds' had announced on Friday that it was introducing new characters in the show in partnership with the United Nations (UN). It added that the new characters were being added to the show in an effort to introduce new cultures and issues to its preschool audience.
