While speaking Sunday at CPAC 2021, the NRA’s Wayne LaPierre suggested leftist politicians “would rather kill the Second Amendment than save lives.” LaPierre referenced President Joe Biden, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), suggesting “they’re using rising homicide statistics as political fodder, in their warped crusade against the Second Amendment.” He continued, “Criminals committing crimes with guns gives them the platform they need to lie and attack your freedom. It keeps the TV cameras always pointed in their direction and it keeps and endless stream of money flowing into their campaign coffers from billionaires like Michael Bloomberg.” LaPierre described the left’s approach as “sick [and] twisted,” adding, “They would rather get tough on the law-abiding than go out and get tough on criminals. They would rather kill the Second Amendment than save lives.” He noted, “They want each and every one of us to be forced to … [Read more...] about Wayne LaPierre at CPAC: Leftists ‘Would Rather Kill the 2A than Save Lives’

Adapted from Without Compromise: The Brave Journalism that First Exposed Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani, and the American Epidemic of Corruption . Wayne Barrett didn’t report a word on the Trump administration. He died the night before the 45th president took office. But as the many scandals of the Trump presidency began to unfold, Barrett’s foundational reporting on the New York City real estate developer was cited almost ritually, with Barrett inevitably identified as “legendary investigative reporter Wayne Barrett.” Barrett wrote in the Village Voice nearly every week for the better part of four decades, a steady accretion of knowledge silting up into hundreds of thousands of column inches.
