I read the entire Daily Beast thing looking for the “vile racist comments” mentioned in the first paragraph. Didn’t find any, as expected. Anyone with TL:DR syndrome would get the false message. But that’s what passes for journalism these days.

Congrats, Mr. Cotton. Good luck.

We've needed his kind of leadership for a very long time.

May God bless you and give you fair weather and smooth sailing.

Whatever we can do to help with your first term, just let us know. But I have to admit that now I'm doubly sad the 150th meeting in Houston was cancelled and pushed to 2022, because I assume this would have been the headliner announcement and we could have been there in person for it!

Just FYI, here's the official NRA news release from October 2. How did I not find this sooner?!

Charles Cotton Elected President as NRA Celebrates 150-Year Anniversary, NRA EVP Wayne LaPierre Re-elected

October 2, 2021 – National Rifle Association Executive Vice President/CEO Wayne LaPierre was re-elected by the NRA Board of Directors at their meeting today in Charlotte, North Carolina. The Annual Meeting of Members preceded the board meeting, as the NRA celebrated its 150-year anniversary.

Charles Cotton was elected NRA President; Lt. Col. Willes K. Lee (ret.) First Vice President; and David Coy Second Vice President.

“It is the honor of a lifetime for a guy who grew up hunting and plinking to become president of this 150-year-old organization — and serve our 5 million members in their fight for the Second Amendment,” says NRA President Charles Cotton. “The proceedings in Charlotte were an amazing celebration of NRA fellowship and freedom. Under the direction of Wayne LaPierre, the NRA is strong and secure — well-positioned to chart its course for the future.”

Also retaining their offices are NRA Secretary/General Counsel John Frazer and NRA Treasurer Sonya B. Rowling, Jason Ouimet was re-appointed as Executive Director for the Institute for Legislative Action and Joseph De Bergalis, Jr., Executive Director, General Operations.​

“The NRA is focused and energized — standing tall in the face of unprecedented attacks on our Association and constitutional freedoms,” says Wayne LaPierre. “I am honored by the trust placed in me by the NRA Board of Directors and the millions of patriots they represent. Together, we will continue to confront our adversaries, and fight for our freedoms and values. We are resolute in our mission as America’s greatest defender of constitutional freedom.”

How cool is it to be elected president on the 150th anniversary?
