NRA Chief Wayne LaPierre Makes Unfounded Claims Against Protesters (VIDEO)

The head of the National Rifle Association on Friday claimed that anti-Donald Trump protesters were paid "$1,500 a week" and that they "spit in the face of Gold Star families."

During a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference, NRA Executive Vice President and CEO Wayne LaPierre said anti-Trump protesters don't even know what they stand for, but he claimed that they're paid and they're violent.

"The truth is the far left have turned protesting into what seems like a full-time profession. Seriously. You would think that for $1,500 a week they would at least know what they are protesting," LaPierre said. "Half of them can't even tell you. One thing is for sure, we've all seen just how violent they can be. Just look at Inauguration Day. They disguised themselves with black ski masks, they spit in the faces of gold star families. They tomahawk beer bottles and rocks at police, putting multiple police in the hospital. They smashed businesses while customers cowered inside."

LaPierre wrapped up by attacking the media and insinuating violence against the "violent left" if it brings "terror" to communities.


"It is shameful and it is wrong and so are the media's delivering its lies aimed at destroying our freedom," he said. "Deliberate lies aimed at destroying freedom. At the NRA, that is something we've been dealing with for decades."

"Make no mistake, if the violent left brings their terror to our communities, our neighborhoods or into our homes, they will be met with the result and the strength and the full force of American freedom in the hands of the American people, and we will win because we are the majority in this country," LaPierre concluded.

Trumpers will do anything to enhance their narrative that anyone who opposes Trump is a violent leftist. It's sad, though, cuz 54% did not vote for trump
