Meet Brandon Straka, a gay former liberal encouraging others to #WalkAway from Democrats
Brandon Straka became a conservative-media darling after posting a video about "walking away" from the left.

Three months ago, Brandon Straka was a New York City hairstylist and aspiring actor with a small social media following. Now, he's a frequent Fox News contributor with nearly 70,000 Twitter followers, whose posts have been shared by Donald Trump Jr. and Sarah Palin.

His ascent to conservative-media darling began on May 26, when Straka posted a now-viral video describing why he fled the Democratic party.


“Once upon a time, I was a liberal,” Straka says in the six-minute video, looking directly toward the camera. “For years now, I have watched as the left has devolved into intolerant, inflexible, illogical, hateful, misguided, ill-informed, un-American, hypocritical, menacing, callous, ignorant, narrow-minded and, at times, blatantly fascistic behavior and rhetoric.”

As screenshots of race-themed articles float by — like 37 Things White People Need To Stop Ruining In 2018 — Straka continues: “I have watched as formerly sensible people who claim to reject racism have come to embrace the principles of universally hating and blaming all of society’s problems on all people who have white skin.”

Straka’s story of being a white, gay, Manhattan liberal-turned-conservative proved irresistible to those on the right. Just weeks after “coming out” as conservative, Straka rose from political nobody to right-wing somebody. His video — with the catchy hashtag urging people to #WalkAway from the left — has been viewed millions of times, catapulting him to Fox News fame.

Those on the right are eager to hear stories — true or not — about a shrinking left, and Straka is delivering. By aggressively promoting his contrarian opinions on social media, he has followed a now well-worn path to conservative media stardom that’s been traveled by Tomi Lahren, Candace Owens, Milo Yiannopoulos and Chadwick Moore. InfoWars’ Alex Jones even donated $10,000 to Straka’s GoFundMe page for “#WalkAway Campaign Startup Costs." As of this week, the campaign has raised more than $67,000.

As I've posted before--All my life, about once a year someone claims to be a former Democrat and that the party walked away from him. Frank Sinatra, Ronald Reagan, blah blah blah, despite their known spy connections. I just posted a few months ago about this repeating propaganda story. Anyone remember who was claiming it then?

This same old lie seems to comfort conservatives, but it gets them no increase in votes. You're wasting your bad breath.
 
I guess Straka is MarAzul's emotional support hairdresser.

I heard some where, this fellow and his organization picked up something like 700 thousand disenchanted liberals as new followers in one month.
No one on S2? Is that due to slow or fear?

I have heard of fear of Fox News.
I had no idea there was fear of it being a threat to your manhood.

You think Faux News is a threat to your manhood? Nobody ever said that but your age probably is working more against your manhood than Faux News is. :biglaugh:

Not a young woman answered up here. Just men with fear of FoxNew. One even fearing for the fate of real men. Poor sucker.

Hey, do you remember the little kid playing in the drive way the last time you were here?
Less that a year old as I recall. Well he was here this weekend, needed a suit for a play. I put him in one of my still decent three piece suits. It fit!
Dammit! I can't believe it, 12 years old and already as big as me.
