Daniels was a vocal advocate of veterans' causes and an ardent supporter of the National Rifle Association (NRA), calling former-President Obama a "fresh-faced flower-child president and his weak-kneed, Ivy League friends" in an advert for the organisation.

Last month, criticising the anti-racist protesters taking to the streets, Daniels wrote on his website that the demonstrations "against the unjust killing of a black man" were not simple protests, "but a revolutionary street battle against America and everything we stand for".

"Gun sales are through the roof and America is locked and loaded to protect their families and their neighbourhoods," he said

Up until July 3, Daniels was posting thoughts on a section of his website entitled "Soap Box."

Late last month, he railed against the protesters amassing in the streets against police brutality, writing: "It will dawn on you that this is not a simple protest against the unjust killing of a black man, but a revolutionary street battle against America and everything we stand for and it IS funded and lead by socialist factions, and it's not just in the US but in many democratic nations around the world ... Gun sales are through the roof and America is locked and loaded to protect their families and their neighborhoods."
