“It is sickening that the NRA continues to give this bigot a seat at the table among their leaders,” CSGV Executive Director Josh Horwitz said in a statement on Tuesday.

“The fact that Nugent is a featured player at virtually every national event the organization conducts also suggests that they not only condone his views, but also agree with them,” Horwitz added. "If they want to clarify that record, they had better remove him from their board of directors immediately.”

He also posted a picture of Nazis rounding up Jewish people during the Holocaust.

The Anti-Defamation League called Nugent’s remarks anti-Semitic.

Nugent responded to the criticism by saying, “My dad killed Nazis & saved Jews in WWII.”

Nugent has also been criticized for perceived racist comments directed at President Obama and other African-Americans.
