In an appearance Sunday on CNN’s Reliable Sources, Washington Post columnist Erik Wemple criticized the NRA for failing to appear at President Obama’s town hall on gun control Thursday. “I thought it was cowardly, utterly cowardly that they wouldn’t show up for CNN’s event,” said Wemple during a discussion with included CNN commentator S.E. Cupp and ProPublica reporter Lois Beckett. “How can you ask for a better forum than that if you want to criticize President Obama on gun restrictions?
