Pranksters snuck into the NRA convention to mock NRA leader Wayne LaPierre for offering 'thoughts and prayers' in response to mass shootings

Wayne LaPierre, the leader of the National Rifle Association, appeared to have been trolled by political pranksters at the convention.

The Good Liars, known on social media as Davram Stiefler, often interview conservatives on camera. Selvig was able to get into the convention and get a spot at the microphone.

Selvig said that he was sick and tired of the left-wing media spreading misinformation about Wayne LaPierre.

You heard it after Las Vegas. You heard it after the nightclub. You heard it after the school shooting. You heard it after the shooting. You heard it after Virginia Tech. You heard it after Sandy Hook. You heard it after El Paso. You heard it after Buffalo.

You kept hearing that Wayne LaPierre isn't doing enough, but that's not true. The thoughts and prayers of the victims and their families have been provided by the National Rifle Association. If we all thought a little bit more and prayed a little bit more, maybe these mass shootings would stop.

I want everyone in this room to pray. If we give enough of these thoughts and prayers, the mass shootings will stop, he said. Thank you.

The crowd applauded when Selvig finished his monologue. Insider asked for a comment from the NRA on Monday, but they did not reply immediately.

Protests over the weekend came just days after an 18-year-old opened fire at a school in Texas.

The executive vice president and CEO of the National Rifle Association received a vote of confidence on Saturday despite being accused of misuse of millions of dollars in funding on extravagant meals and private jets. He was re-elected by the board in a 54-1 vote.
