Brzezinski: Trump Says It’s Okay to Fight the NRA Once in a While But It Doesn’t Seem Georgia Republicans Agree

EXCERPT:

BRZEZINSKI: “The President says it’s okay to fight the NRA once in a while, but it doesn’t seem the Republicans in Georgia agree with that notion. Delta is now facing backlash in its home state over its push to sever ties in the NRA in the wake of the Parkland, Florida school shooting. Conservative leaders in Georgia Senate are voting to block a lucrative tax break bill for the airline unless it fully reinstates relationship with the gun rights organization. The bill, which cleared the state’s house last week, would eliminate the state tax on jet fuel potentially saving Atlanta-based company tens of millions of dollars. Delta is one of several companies to abandon its relationship with the NRA after the school shooting. On Saturday the company announced that it would end discounted rates for NRA members. Georgia's Republican Lieutenant Governor Casey Cagle, a front runner in the state’s gubernatorial race this year weighed in on the matter yesterday tweeting, 'I will kill any tax legislation that benefits Delta unless the company changes its position and fully reinstates its relationships with the NRA. Corporations cannot attack conservatives and expect us not to fight back.'"
