From CNN:
Country music singer and NRA board member Craig Morgan has resigned, sources with knowledge of the matter tell CNN, and NASCAR team owner Richard Childress stepped down on Monday. David Lehman, the deputy executive director and general counsel at the NRA's Institute for Legislative Action, also is leaving the organization, the sources tell CNN.I predicted a while ago that I would not be surprised to see more of the celebrities resigning from the NRA Board of Directors. Craig Morgan fits this category if the report by CNN is accurate.
According to the story, the NRA has not responded to requests for comment and CNN has not heard back on their request for comment to either Morgan or Lehman. I'm sure more will become known in the next few days.

ReplyDeleteI may be wrong, but this is my count, and ALL have been in 2019:
Pete Brownell (1)
Tim Knight, Sean Maloney, Esther Schneider (2, 3, 4)
Julie Golob (5); Richard Childress (6); Craig Morgan (7)
That's seven in 2019. The first was Brownell in late May 2019:

You are correct. I had it in my head that Brownell resigned just after the 2018 Meeting. What he did was resign as President then and this year resign as a BOD member.
DeleteYep, the dominos are falling.
