Trump Attacks NY Attorney General Over Attempt To Dissolve NRA, Calls It ‘A Very Terrible Thing’

On his way out to Ohio, Donald Trump spoke to the press about the breaking news on Thursday that New York State Attorney General Letitia James and her office filed a lawsuit to dissolve the National Rifle Association over multiple allegations of fraud and self-dealing.

Trump didn’t appear to like the news and attacked James and her office over the lawsuit.

“That’s a very terrible thing that just happened,” Trump said, via CBS News. “I think the NRA should move to Texas and lead a very good and beautiful life.”

He went on to say that he’s been telling the NRA to move to Texas “for a long time” because “Texas would be a great place and an appropriate place for the NRA.”
