In an attempt to slam the NRA for not being true to their values, riot inciter, Al Sharpton claimed the civil rights organization was not defending the gun owners in the recent police shootings. “In both cases you have people with guns, that were killed by police, legally. One in a carry state of Louisiana, the other had a gun permit. And the NRA laryngitis advocating on their behalf,” he falsely claimed during PoliticsNation on Sunday.
In what started as a segment to bash Donald Trump, for not jumping through all the social justice hoops following the tragedies, soon turned to the National Rifle Association. “He did go further than NRA who only referred to it in a Facebook post on Friday afternoon as “a situation” in Minnesota,” stated pundit Edmond Siegfried.
Siegfried’s claim was also false. The NRA never referred to any of the week’s tragedies as simply “a situation,” neither on Facebook nor Twitter. It is standard procedure for the NRA not to comment on open investigations, but did want the Minnesota shooting fully investigated.
