|Walkaway is Russian meddling. The right is using the concept of walking away to sucker minority groups and identity voters.
This particular guy has a video up of his 10/27 rally. The vid has 32,000+ views on you tube.
Here's what fr says about it. "The #Walkaway Movement begun by one man, Brandon Straka, has grown exponentially. This group is populated by Americans who have become fed up with the leftist/Marxist/Socialist/Communist side of things and who are now pro-America, pro-conservative, pro-right side of things. Many in the movement are African Americans and/or are gay like Brandon - and they have "seen the light" and are walking away from the Demonrats. This has taken a great deal of courage on their part since to walkaway often means losing one's friends and family."

Very worthwhile for Dems to know what's going on with this movement. They have some momentum.
