The NRA has a huge mess on its hands | By JohnAvlon for CNNOpinion
John Avlon is a CNN senior political analyst and anchor. The opinions expressed in this commentary are his own. View more opinion articles on CNN.Since Friday, the NRA had President Trump speak at its convention and moved to oust its own president, Oliver North, after his bitter feud with CEO Wayne LaPierre became public. Saying he was only acting in the best interests of the NRA, North tried to get LaPierre to quit, accusing him of massive financial mismanagement.
At the same time they've been building out a media arm called NRA-TV, featuring conservative personalities like Dana Loesch, pushing odd stunts like portraying Thomas the Tank Engine in a KKK uniform, and uttering memorable lines like this:"The only way we save our country and our freedom is to fight this violence of lies with the clenched fist of truth."But if you really want to find the"clenched fist of truth," follow the money.
