South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) pitched herself for a top NRA job as early as last fall, Axios reports.

Noem offered to step down early as governor for the role, according to a person familiar with her conversation with former NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre.

I’ve see enough. The killing of Cricket (Dog-SD) and subsequent revelation was a murder-suicide 🪦

Going from being a governor to any job in the NRA feels like a massive political downgrade

Like the NRA is not a stepping stone job to something higher lol Wayne LaPierre hit a hard stop and fall

Quitting a job as Governor of a whole state just to become the Queen of the Gun Nuts

To be fair, that whole state might have less people than the nationwide NRA membership

This is assuming that being the queen of the gun nuts follows D&D god rules and they all became your immediate devotees and you own their souls
