The Left’s been putting a lot of pressure on businesses affiliated with the NRA, and one of them has cracked under that pressure:
Customer feedback has caused us to review our relationship with the NRA. As a result, First National Bank of Omaha will not renew its contract with the National Rifle Association to issue the NRA Visa Card.

First National has been tweeting similar responses to inquiries. The bank won applause from many who might not otherwise be cheering for a bank:

Thank you @FNBOmaha. Your turn @Amazon. Do the right thing, and distance yourself from NRAtv.#StopNRAmazon https://t.co/yflqa12O61

This is what #TheResistance does. Speak up. Let businesses know you can't work with them if they support terrorist organizations like the #NRA.

Way to go FNBO! ???? I have an account with them since its the official bank of my university. When I heard they supported NRA I was not good with that

The NRA has guns, but we have the power of the pocketbook. Hitting 'em where it hurts. THANK YOU, First National Bank, for doing what's right and canceling your contract with the NRA. Who's next? #NoGunsinSchools #NRAIsATerroristOrganization #MSDStrong #NeverAgain https://t.co/z1nBUFJOrZ

Liberals don’t seem to mind big banks as long as they might be useful to their cause. And they’re not close to being finished:
WOW.
Now let's get @FedEx to stop offering discounts to NRA members. Add your voice here: https://t.co/5DOSlFwfwo https://t.co/n6vJmeciHG

How’s this all going to play out?
Tick off customers who used to give you money in the name of outraged social media twits who don't. You're a bank, you say? https://t.co/bkCpRYF7v2
