PATHETIC: Why is the National Rifle Association Silent on the Kyle Rittenhouse Case?

The National Rifle Association (NRA) has been dead silent on the case of 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse, who fired his way out of a mob attack and killed two degenerate communists in Kenosha, Wisc. earlier this week.

Big League Politics has reported on how the usual suspects are lining up to defame Rittenhouse, who is being charged with first-degree murder despite substantial video evidence that he was acting in self-defense.

While the Democrats and the fake news media attempt to crucify Rittenhouse, the NRA is completely silent and are apparently happy to let Rittenhouse hang out to dry. They have absolutely nothing on their official website about the case, or about the sustained rioting and mayhem at all for that matter. The NRA Publications website has similarly published nothing about the case.

Big League Politics has reported on the crusade against the NRA by affirmative action New York Attorney General Letitia James, who hopes to abuse her authority to disband the civil rights organization:

The state of New York is working to dissolve the National Rifle Association.

The current New York Attorney General Letitia James is accusing the gun rights organization and its leadership of perpetuating largescale fraud against its donors.

In a lawsuit, James accused the NRA of diverting charitable donations to enrich the organization’s leaders for a number of years. Such action was in violation of laws regulating nonprofits. In addition, James is also pressing for millions of dollars in penalties and restitution.

This is the latest chapter of instability that has been rocking the NRA over the past year. BLP previously documented some of the internal controversy that has negatively impacted the organization. There was a notable internal feud between former NRA president Oliver North last year. According to a probe that the state of New York conducted, organizational malpractice led to the NRA losing over $64 million over the last years.

“We are seeking an order to dissolve the NRA in its entirety,” James during a press conference in Manhattan. The organization for years has been “operating as a breeding ground for greed, abuse and brazen illegality,” she stated.

Newsmax reported that the lawsuit filed in Manhattan alluded to the “NRA’s pattern of conducting its business in a persistently fraudulent or illegal manner, abusing its powers contrary to public policy of New York and its tax exempt status, and failing to provide for the proper administration of its trust assets and institutional funds.”

NRA President Carolyn Meadows described the lawsuit aa a baseless, politically motivated attack on the Second Amendment. She called attention to the lawsuit’s timing which came around election time.

“It’s a transparent attempt to score political points and attack the leading voice in opposition to the leftist agenda,” Meadows declared in a statement. “This has been a power grab by a political opportunist — a desperate move that is part of a rank political vendetta. Our members won’t be intimidated or bullied in their defense of political and constitutional freedom.”

At the White House on August 6, 2020, President Donald trump criticized the lawsuit as a “very terrible thing.” The NRA has been “absolutely decimated by the cost of that lawsuit, and it’s very sad,” Trump declared. He encouraged the group to move its operations to Texas. “It would be a great place for the NRA,” he commented.

While the abuse from the New York Democrats against the NRA may be heinous, the organization is dropping the ball in its refusal to advocate for Rittenhouse. If they are unwilling to stand up for 2nd Amendment patriots when they need it the most, perhaps the organization ought to be disbanded.
