Why are Red State Governors Using Democrat Public Relations Agencies?
One of the most glaring areas where this is taking place is in red state governments. They hire left-wing PR and advertising agencies, giving them millions of taxpayer dollars which enables the agencies to continue attacking conservatives, helping leftist causes and possibly even sabotaging the conservative governors they are supposed to represent. A classic example of one of these agencies is New York-based MMGY NJF, one of the largest PR companies for tourism offices in the country. It was founded by Democrat Nancy Friedman. Her Twitter feed is full of progressive posts, including retweeting Rachel Maddow and David Hogg. She gave money to Kamala Harris and the DNC in 2020. MMGY NJF Vice President Danny Guerreros Twitter account is also full of hate. He retweeted Joy Behar urging Beto ORourke to run against Ted Cruz, and another person gloating that the Military Band played Hit the Road Jack outside the White House on President Trumps last day. He also retweeted Robert Reich wanting to impeach Trump 10 days before the inauguration. MMGY gave Guerrero a big award this month. Texas and South Dakota, both states with conservative Republican governors. South Dakota and Travel Texas are proudly listed as two of their clients. Their contract with South Dakota is valued at over $20.7 million. Visit Rapid City also uses the agency. MMGY recently bragged that Travel Texas and Visit Florida, Floridas tourism office, are funding their woke study examining the intersectionality of LatinX tourism. Its entitled Latinx U.S. Travelers: Observations and Insights on Themes of Diaspora and Intersectionality. Intersectionality is a Marxist term that means looking at political issues in terms of identity, viewing everyone as a white male, a queer transgender, etc., and how privilege and discrimination apply. LatinX is a term made up by woke white leftists to refer to Hispanics, which MMGY defines as a gender-neutral term. One Hispanic was so offended he wrote an article for USA Today denouncing the made-up word. Profits from the studys sale will be donated to Travel Unity. Travel Unity puts on events featuring woke speakers such as Brandan Robertson, a trusted voice on progressive faith and politics. Speaker Adrienne Lee worked for a global social justice organization and has a love for intersectional environmentalism. Sara Emmert managed communications and public relations for the New York State Legislature Democratic caucus members and for Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo. And speaker Alanah Keddell-Tuckey is a public outreach specialist for New Yorks DECs Office of Environmental Justice. The list is devoid of conservative speakers but full of SJWs. After the announcement, Visit Florida was scrubbed off of MMGYs website as a sponsor. Before MMGY, Texas used Edelman, the firm of Steve Schmidt of Lincoln Project infamy. Democrats are great about hiring each other and canceling Republicans out of jobs. There are plenty of conservative PR agencies who would love the work, and may desperately need it due to the cancel culture. MMGY is all about dividing people by race and other categories. It is not inclusive, it is perpetuating divisive stereotypes. Some levels of government are doing the right thing and pushing back. North Carolinas Surry County Commissioners recently announced that the county is banning Coke machines after Coke issued a statement denouncing Georgias new voting integrity laws. There is probably something going on behind closed doors that the American public doesnt know about. There are a few people in those three states with power who stand to gain from contracts with MMGY. Theyve become buddies with the top brass at MMGY, and likely reap benefits, tangible or intangible, from the partnership. These types of sleazy people frequently use blackmail to force politicians to do what they want. When conservatives rail against RINOs, this is the epitome of the type of behavior they are ranting about. Many RINOs at the top echelons in government care more about their personal pockets than principles. Sadly, the American public rarely discovers these backdoor secrets, because those kinds of people are masters at covering their tracks. Its allowed to remain a frustrating mystery. It sounds like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis may have finally put the lid on MMGY. Now its time for Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem to do the same. If they dont, MMGY will be like a ball and chain following them around if they run for higher office. It may seem like a very small move to dump the agency. But every little bit counts pushing back against the woke progressives indoctrination, and since they control so many areas of society, fighting piecemeal may be our only option.
