The Washington Times announced Sunday that David Keene will take over the helm of its opinion pages weeks after stepping down as president of the National Rifle Association.
Keene said in the announcement that his goal was to “continue to expand the reach of The Washington Times as the ‘go to’ publication for conservatives in Washington and around the country by giving readers access to solid, insightful and interesting conservative perspectives on public policy and politics that they can rely on.”
As president of the NRA, Keene led the organization’s efforts to fight gun control in the wake of the Newtown, Conn. elementary school shooting.
