MICHAEL SCHUR, A former Parks and Recreation producer, has hit out at the National Rifle Association after they used a gif featuring Amy Poheler in a recent tweet.
Reaching out to NRA spokesperson Dana Loesch yesterday, the hugely controversial organisation expressed their gratitude to her for speaking on behalf of its members.
In a tweet which amassed less than 4,000 likes, the organisation, wrote: “Thank you for being the voice of over 5 Million #NRA members.”

Their ill-advised decision to use Amy Poehler’s character in Parks and Rec to reinforce their sentiments did not go unnoticed by the show’s former produce or its leading actress.
