The National Rifle Association recently announced that Fox News host Jeanine Pirro -- who has repeatedly pushed multiple conspiracy theories, including the same “great replacement” theory touted by the racist El Paso mass shooter -- will be speaking at its “Women’s Leadership Forum Luncheon” during the pro-gun group’s annual meeting in April.

The NRA’s annual meeting is a multiday event beginning this year on April 16 in Nashville, Tennessee, and featuring floor exhibits of tactical gear, auctions, and hours of conservative, pro-gun speakers.The NRA has now announced Pirro as the special guest speaker for the meeting’s “Women’s Leadership Forum Luncheon & Auction” on April 17.

The NRA’s choice to spotlight the Fox News host and Trump shill is also a decision to ignore -- or embrace -- Pirro’s alarmingly white nationalist statements.

During an August 27 segment on Fox Business’ Varney & Co., Pirro told host Stuart Varney that Democrats have “gotten to the point where their remaking America is opening the border, which is allowing 90% of the heroin to come into this country.” She went on to say, “The sanctuary cities are allowing illegals — and I’m not talking about the chambermaid, I'm not talking about the guy who's mowing your lawn — illegals who are criminals to be in a city where American citizens are at risk.”
