The kind of PC, at-any-cost ultra-lefty who makes me ashamed to be a Democrat

Not that the GOPsters are not as bad in their own way, with their opposed agenda.

But they haven't used months of riot and violence and destruction all over the country to force their demands, have they?

So is there really a "moral equivalence"?

Cancel culture at its absolute worst.

Make a desert and call it peace.

New York attorney general sues to dissolve NRA

Cuomo and the Democrats generally will be tarred with this brush, but so far as I know he can't fire her, she doesn't work for him, and NY state doesn't have a so-called "unitary executive".

Another symptom of the rising extremism in both parties, both as to ends but also and with more lasting harm and danger as to means.

I have little doubt the charges are true or that the conduct is perhaps even criminal.

But she is seizing on that as an opportunity to destroy a gun rights organization long absolutely hated by, well, the haters of the left.

New York's attorney general has announced a lawsuit aimed at dissolving the powerful National Rifle Association over alleged financial mismanagement.

Letitia James said the NRA had diverted millions of dollars to leaders including its chief executive, Wayne LaPierre, for their personal use.

"For these years of misconduct we are seeking an order to dissolve the NRA in its entirety," she said.

The NRA described the lawsuit as a "baseless, premeditated attack".

. . . .

Responding to questions, Ms James, a Democrat, rejected the notion that the charges against the NRA - closely tied to the Republican party - were at all influenced by her own politics.

"We followed the facts and the law," she said.

"We've come to the conclusion that the NRA unfortunately was serving as a personal piggy bank to four individual defendants."

The case filed by Ms James' office alleges more than $64m (£48.7m) was lost in just three years as a result of the defendants' abuse.

Also on Thursday, the District Attorney for Washington, DC filed a separate lawsuit against the organisation "for misusing charitable funds to support wasteful spending by the NRA and its executives".

The New York lawsuit will almost certainly be contested in court by the NRA. 

The suit will add another strain to an already beleaguered organisation, facing congressional inquiries, investigations in multiple states and internal complaints.
