According to an internal memo obtained by CNN, the organization has been forced to issue a statement addressing a plethora of false comments made by Porter during his first week on the job.
As it turns out, Porter has been accused of making a multitude of false claims, including that he has been a member of the NRA for over 20 years, and that he has been actively involved in the organization's efforts to promote gun safety and responsible gun ownership.
But, according to the memo, it was discovered that Porter has never been a member of the NRA, and that he has never actually contributed to the organization.
"We are deeply concerned by these allegations," said an NRA spokesperson in a statement. "The NRA takes these types of allegations very seriously, and we are currently conducting a full investigation into the matter."
The spokesperson went on to say that the organization will not tolerate false statements being made under its name, and that any employee found to have made false claims will be subject to disciplinary action.
This latest scandal has left many in the gun-rights community reeling, and has raised serious questions about the NRA's commitment to promoting responsible gun ownership.
As of now, Porter has yet to comment publicly on the matter.
The NRA has also not yet made any further statements regarding the situation.
It is important to note that this is not the first time that the NRA has been embroiled in controversy. In recent years, the organization has faced criticism for its close ties to the gun industry, and for its stance on gun control.
Despite this latest scandal, the NRA remains one of the most influential and powerful gun-rights organizations in the United States.
