There has been a cadre of members who have been saying LaPierre is poison for decades. Now that he has run the organization into the ground, people are paying attention.

I have met Wayne three times, one of which was at a meeting where he was present. Straight up, the biggest douchebag I've ever met. He shows up to the meeting, shakes everyone's hand and he always gives out his business card like it's some sort of special keepsake. Then when it's his turn to talk, he spews every pro-2A trope known to man (whether the situation calls for it or not), and never offers anything of any actual substance.

I pegged him as a con-man inside of 1 minute in the very first meeting. There is NO WAY the board of directors didn't know EXACTLY who Wayne LaPierre was and what he was about.
