Why did Tom Selleck, the actor, resign from the NRA Board of Directors? He resigned in September of 2018, https://www.newsweek.com/tom-selleck-nra-quit-guns-1130492 yet consider the timing. Supposedly, it was due to his acting commitments, yet, why? He’d been an actor for decades and it’d never been an issue with NRA duties before, as he was on the board since 2005. NRA only has three director meetings a year anyways.
Yet, look at the timing. It was announced in May of 2018 that Oliver North would assume the presidency of the NRA, https://www.cnn.com/2018/05/07/politics/nra-oliver-north/
Does the one have anything to do with the other? The Newsweek piece says Selleck had been on NRA’s board since 2005. And won a another 3 year term in 2017, yet resigns, in 2018, about 4 months after North becomes president?
And this quote, “Annett Wolf, the actor’s publicist, told The Trace that Selleck stepped down from the board “due to his work schedule,” but noted that he was never truly “active on the board.”” from, https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/tom-selleck-steps-down-from-nras-board-of-directors Also from the Fox News piece, 3 years after it was published is the following comment,
So he wasn’t a spokesman for the NRA when he did the commercials Rosie O’Donnell was blabbering about, and later, when he was elected to the board “he was never truly active”? As much as I hate to agree with a blabber mouth like Rosie O’Donnell, if you do commercials for an organization, either non profit or for profit, using your real name, your real face, and you’re clearly not “acting”, then you are indeed a spokesman.
“Never truly active”… That applies to the majority of the 76 members of the NRA board. Remember the corporate average is only 12.
But why did Tom Selleck resign? Did he know something about what North was looking into?
And at this point, does it even matter anyway? NRA’s nearly bled out. RICO’s looming. North’s suing for tens of millions. And NRA has its head in the sand.
