NRA chief Wayne LaPierre claims he’s being extorted by Oliver North
Wayne LaPierre, chief executive of the National Rifle Association, speaks at the NRA-ILA Leadership Forum during the NRA's annual meeting in Indianapolis on Friday.
LaPierre, who is also the NRA’s executive vice president and has been with the organization for decades, said he refused to comply with the threat, adding that he was “alarmed and disgusted” by the situation. The back-and-forth is apparently fueled by a growing rift in a decades-long relationship between the NRA and the advertising agency Ackerman McQueen, according to the Journal. The NRA filed a lawsuit against Ackerman McQueen earlier this month in Virginia that alleges the firm had not been transparent in justifying its billings.
LaPierre went on to assert that the claims made by the advertising firm were “conveniently” fabricated and brought up now amid the lawsuit and demands from the NRA for accurate books and records.
