The public relations firm working behind the scenes with the faithless electors is rife with ties to prominent Democrats like President Obama and twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
Megaphone Strategies, whose stated mission is to “use PR as a tool to diversify progressive movements,†typically
works with progressive causes like Black Lives Matter. The firm is representing the handful of “faithless electorsâ€
trying to keep President-elect Donald Trump from winning the Electoral College vote.
The firm was
co-founded by Van Jones, the former green jobs czar in the Obama White House who later resigned after it was revealed he signed a statement questioning whether the Bush administration had a role in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
Jones now works as a CNN commentator.
Molly Haigh, Megaphone’s co-founder and president,
worked for Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign. Haigh blames the Republican party’s “racist, misogynist, xenophobic fear mongering†for Trump’s rise to power.
Texas Republican elector Chris Suprun, who has said he will not cast his vote for Trump, claimed in an interview with The Daily Caller last week that he decided to switch his vote after watching Vice President-elect Mike Pence defend one of Trump’s tweets on TV.
In his interview with TheDC, Suprun went out of his way to deny any ties to George Soros.
“Nobody got to me,†he added later.
