Uh-oh, sounds like trouble in gun-control-ville.

Dang. Bloomberg's Everytown and Moms Demand folks describe their own leader as "a nightmare" https://t.co/vEerwTAQdc pic.twitter.com/CfUBQ6OP5E

Shannon Watts is hard to work with? But she seems so friendly on Twitter.

In the voice of @Marty_Shnayder … but why though? She seems like such a nice and genuine woman. ?

From The Daily Caller:

According to sources close to Everytown, Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action and advisory board member of Everytown, remains a problem within both groups. Watts, while not a staffer with either organization, is a full-time volunteer who lives in Colorado. Critics of Watts say that despite that status, she is involved with all major leadership decisions.

Another source close to the organization said in a written statement, “Two beliefs unite nearly all gun control supporters: background checks save lives, and Shannon Watts is a self-promoting tyrant.”

In other words she bosses everyone around, and it sounds like they’re getting tired of it.

Everytown did of course deny this:

Everytown dismissed the claims about Watts in a statement to The Daily Caller.

“This fake news is the result of how we are effectively providing a counter to the extremist leadership of the NRA. Our movement is strong and growing with more than three million volunteers beating back the gun lobby’s agenda in all 50 states,” Everytown spokeswoman Kate Folmar responded to the accusations.
