In a statement released by the group, the executive director, Brenden Boudreau, said “anti-gun politicians” moved quickly to “politicize” the situation. She wrote a tweet earlier this month in response to a post from Great Lakes Gun Rights, which opposed calls by Democrats for more restrictive gun laws following a deadly shooting at Oxford High School in Michigan.
Marquis had previously been critical of the gun rights group on Twitter. The voice messages were allegedly left with the Michigan affiliate of the National Association for Gun Rights, called the Great Lakes Gun Rights, according to The Washington Post. Repeatedly invoking The New York Times’s name in an unprofessional way that imperils the reputation of Wirecutter, The Times, and all of our journalists is a clear violation of our policies,” the spokesperson added.
“We expect our employees to behave in a way that is consistent with our values and commitment to the highest ethical standards. “The employee has been terminated from Wirecutter following our investigation related to inappropriate behavior,” a spokesperson for The Times said in a statement. Erin Marquis, an editor for The New York Times Wirecutter recommendation service was fired by the newspaper after she was accused of leaving profane voice messages with a Michigan-based gun rights advocacy group.
