A prominent NRA board member is urging the organization to clean “its own house” and move on from CEO Wayne LaPierre’s leadership.
A prominent board member of the National Rifle Association urged the organization to clean “its own house” and move on from CEO Wayne LaPierre’s leadership on Tuesday in a stunning escalation of the internal crisis that has plagued the organization in recent months.
“It is imperative that the NRA cleans its own house,” West wrote. “If we had done so in Indianapolis, much of this could have been rectified.” Hours later, another NRA board member appeared to join West’s call for LaPierre’s ouster. In a message posted to the public Facebook page of Timothy Knight, who is also serving in his second term on the organization’s board, Knight appeared to “100% agree” with West and express his concerns about what he called the NRA’s attempts “to cover up the financial malfeasance of the last 20 years.”
The latter total also includes $13,804.84 to rent an apartment for three months in Fairfax, Virginia, that according to one letter, LaPierre “required [Ackerman McQueen] rent” and “billed to the NRA” for a young woman who, according to LinkedIn, was then an intern at the organization. She is still employed by the NRA, according to LinkedIn.
In his blog post, however, West disputed those claims, saying he was previously unaware of the details of the allegations before reading about them in the media.
