NY AG Letitia James lied about her age for a decade (she's 61), supported 'phony' settlement deal for Harvey Weinstein's victims and had her sights set on NRA years ago when she called it a 'terror organization'

Letitia James called the National Rifle Association a 'terrorist organization' and promised to investigate it before she was even elected New York's Attorney General two years ago.

She listed the gun-supporting group as one of her priorities during a magazine interview.

'The NRA holds (itself) out as a charitable organization, but in fact, (it) really (is) a terrorist organization,' James told Ebony shortly before she won the 2018 vote.

Now, less than two years later, James, 61, is trying to bring down the gun-toting organization claiming corruption and misspending by top officials mean it is beyond redemption, and it should be closed down.

She made her move in a lawsuit on Thursday claiming the NRA — the nation's most powerful gun rights organization — was guilty of violating numerous state and federal laws.

Now, less than two years later, James, 61, is trying to bring down the gun-toting organization claiming corruption and misspending by top officials mean it is beyond redemption, and it should be closed down.

She made her move in a lawsuit on Thursday claiming the NRA — the nation's most powerful gun rights organization — was guilty of violating numerous state and federal laws.

James, who goes by the name Tish, has risen through the ranks of New York politics by staying mainly under the radar. She was one of eight children and has lived her entire life in Brooklyn.

Her biggest personal scandal came when the Wall Street Journal revealed she had been lying about her age for more than a decade and she was in fact four years older than she claimed.

When asked why, she simply replied: 'Would you ask a man his age?'

Yet another integrity-free life loser foisted upon civilization by nitwits who vote. What a pathetic uncivil joke.

In other words, “So what?”

Letitia LIED? Is she kin to LeBron?

Another Eric Holder. Hateful black AG thinks it’s payback time for Whitey. Whites, somehow riddled with self guilt elect this garbage to assuage their white guilt and look what you get.

Oliver North warned us that Wayne LaPierre may have been misusing NRA funds. Next thing you know, he was gently pushed out the door. We need the NRA, but for a long time, I’ve wanted someone other than LaPierre to be the main spokesman.
Dana Loesch would do a great job, if people could accept a woman in that position. I’m sure there are a few others as well.

Its a time-honored tradition in NY State - the AG bringing highly-public, highly-political prosecutions, and thus abusing the office, to make a national name for themselves among the Left for higher office.

Spitzer did it, Cuomo did it, Schneiderman did it, and now James is doing it.

This lady is even more evil than the man that she replaced. A man that left in disgrace.

You know the reason they shoot each other these days...

Because if they got in a fistfight, their pants would fall down.
