Leftists Pressuring Companies To Cut Ties With NRA

The left wing is now pressuring businesses who have business relationships with the National Rifle Association to sever ties with the NRA.

The leftist "news" group, ThinkProgress, is spearheading this campaign.

Obviously, a few deranged leftists are making it seem like there's widespread anger over these businesses who do business with the NRA in the aftermath of the Parkland school shooting. This smells like a George Soros operation to me.

According to the New York Daily News:

A prominent private banking company and a top car rental chain are cutting ties with the National Rifle Association amid a social media movement to "#BoycottNRA."

The First National Bank of Omaha in Nebraska will not renew its contract for the gun group's NRA Visa card, spokesman Kevin Langin said in a statement.

"Customer feedback has caused us to review our relationship with the NRA," Langin said.

In addition, the car rental company Enterprise said its three brands would end a discount program for NRA members. Twitter accounts for Enterprise as well as Alamo and National tweeted late Thursday: "All three of our brands have ended the discount for NRA members. This change will be effective March 26."

Both companies released their statements repeatedly on Twitter following calls for them to separate from the gun group. Some Twitter users said they would take their business elsewhere.

The news website ThinkProgress had listed them as companies that support the NRA, noting that First National Bank offered two NRA cards, each with a $40 bonus, and touted it as "enough to reimburse your one-year NRA membership!" Enterprise offered NRA members "an unspecified discount," according to ThinkProgress.

Other rental companies on the ThinkProgress list include Hertz, Avis and Budget.

Weak-kneed executives of these companies are capitulating to this insideous campaign by announcing they are severing ties with the NRA. This tactic has been employed before by leftist groups.

Those companies who are severing ties with the NRA should be boycotted. The NRA has over 5 million members. If they boycott these wimpy companies, they will feel the pain.
