Republican Senate Hopeful Bill Hagerty On Board of Billion Dollar Firm Pumping Out Black Lives Matter Messages

Establishment Republican Senate candidate Bill Hagerty’s multi-billion dollar investment firm is currently peddling pro-Black Lives Matter messages on its social media feeds.

“R.J. O’Brien stands proudly with the African American Community in support of EQUALITY & PEACE,” the message read, followed by the #BLACKLIVESMATTER hashtag. The firm then boasted of donating to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) legal fund. The message from Hagerty’s firm came on the fifth day of rioting and looting across American cities, May 31st. Just one day after a molotov cocktail attack on police in New York, and moments after President Trump had signaled his intent to declare Antifa a terrorist organization.

His allegiance to Trump-style conservatism is already under scrutiny in light of his close political and personal relationship with Mitt Romney and affinity for John McCain – both noted NeverTrumpers. Hagerty’s first-choice candidate in the 2016 Republican primary was Jeb Bush, and his current campaign retains top staffers who’ve worked for Never Trumpers and Democrats. No wonder, perhaps, that his firm released a litany of pro-Marxist content. Black Lives Matter has spearheaded the push to “defund the police,” has vowed to “burn down the system,” and was conceived of by self-avowed “trained Marxists.” R.J. O’Brien shared the message on platforms including Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn, reaching tens of thousands of people. Hagerty’s latest financial disclosure, filed on July 7th, reveals his position as both director and board member of the company since December 2019, along with a compensation rate of $50,000. The report does not specify the time period for which the salary was paid, though Hagerty’s affiliations with R.J. O’Brien are widely mentioned in biographies of the Senate Republican candidate.

Networks crop Farrakhan from Clinton/Jackson/Sharpton image at Aretha's funeral

September 2, 2018

It was an image that caused quite a stir Friday afternoon. There on the stage presiding over Aretha Franklin’s epic funeral extravaganza was former President Bill Clinton alongside former presidential candidates Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. And immediately next to those three, in the same honored position as the ex-president and the civil rights leaders was anti-semite, Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan. The controversial, fringe leader who has been accused of anti-semitism, anti-white racism, anti-gay slurs, and sexism was prominently featured in the marathon television coverage but somehow didn’t show up in the social media coverage from some of America’s major networks. It was clearly a deliberate choice to keep Farrakhan from the image thus protecting Democratic Party elder statesmen Clinton, Jackson, and Sharpton from being directly associated with the controversial hate-monger.

Given how every elected Republican is forced over and over again to “disavow” the likes of David Duke and Richard Spencer and other race-baiting figures who inject themselves, uninvited, into the conservative movement, you’d think at some point Democrats would be challenged to disavow the Nation of Islam icon. However, Farrakhan and his movement continue to be popular, it appears, with the African-American community in major urban centers and he is celebrated by the likes of Rep. Kieth Ellison, Rep. Maxine Waters, and Rep. Andre Carson. So, apparently, mainstream Democrats like Clinton find it less palatable to alienate those voters than it is to stand up against racist, gay-bashing, anti-semites like Farrakhan. Duly noted. And the networks who delivered protection from an uncomfortable photo-op is also so noted.
