anyone know anything about this Brandon Straka and his #Walkaway Rally and entity?

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."

Here's one speaker: ][link:

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