NRA-backed Republicans invited former NRATV personality Dan Bongino to give testimony on policing practices today in Congress. John, Bongino is the last person who should be speaking about police accountability.
His right-wing extremism has been on display for years on NRATV and InfoWars. Since protests erupted in response to the police killing George Floyd in Minneapolis, Bongino has echoed President Trump's inflammatory comments and claimed that it's "just not true" that police departments have "some mass problem with race." Yet, the former NRATV personality fervently critiqued the FBI's investigation of President Trump. Bongino defends law enforcement when they murder a Black man, but criticizes law enforcement when they investigate Trump.
This is who the NRA's allies in Congress welcome to speak on police brutality and race in our country. And it's just unacceptable. We reject the NRA's extreme, racist, hate-filled rhetoric and "guns everywhere" agenda, and we're fighting to stop it. Contribute today and help us fight the recklessly dangerous NRA and its allies in Congress.
The NRA-backed Republicans that invited Bongino to testify on law enforcement accountability in Congress should be ashamed. Donate to Everytown now to help us fight the NRA's extreme tactics and agenda every day.
Thank you for your support,
Everytown for Gun Safety
