The turmoil confronting the National Rifle Association ramped up this week with a well-known board member and former congressman calling for the organization to abandon its longtime chief executive

Former Florida Rep. Allen West on Tuesday said he cannot support CEO Wayne LaPierre, in an escalation of the internal strife that has plagued the powerful gun lobby in recent months.In a statement on his website, West cited concerns about financial mismanagement and"cronyism" within the nearly 150-year-old organization."There is a cabal of cronyism operating within the NRA and that exists within the board of directors," West, now in his second term on the board, wrote.

"Now is the time for the NRA to return to its core mission: representing our members and defending the constitutional freedoms of America."An NRA spokesman said LaPierre would not comment."There will be no further comment beyond this statement at this point in time," NRA's Andrew Arulanandam told CNN.West is the only board member to publicly criticize in the wake of a contentious standoff at the NRA's annual gathering last month.
