Renel Brooks-Moon is the loudspeaker announcer for the San Francisco Giants. She was only the second woman to get this job in Major League Baseball when she took over from the first, Sherry Davis, in 2000. She is also one of the few black MLB announcers.
There are not many of these jobs and they are extremely difficult to achieve. So it was a big risk Friday when Brooks-Moon called Giants owner Charles Johnson for his financial support of Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Boebert.
Not only did Boebert direct Johnson’s money during the 2020 election cycle. The owner of the Giants financed many of the largest insurgents in Congress, including Senator Tommy Tuberville and Reps. Madison Cawthorn, Jim Jordan and Nicole Malliotakis.
Called for directing money basically to the overthrow of the US system, Johnson issued a statement on Friday afternoon stating: “It is often difficult to predict the future behavior of candidates and I would never have imagined that any legitimate candidate would do so. participate in the mining of the core values of our great country. Nor was he aware that any candidate to whom he contributed was associated with QAnon. “

Really? When Axios compiled a list of candidates who were not QAnon friendly in July, Boebert was mentioned ahead of Marjorie Taylor Greene. He was literally at the top of the list. And she radio ads during the primaries there was talk of how he helped “prevent Democrats from stealing our votes for President Trump.” (Note that the still image on your own YouTube page misspells the word “fought” as “FAUGHT”).
Johnson’s $ 2,800 donation to Boebert’s campaign was made in September, when it became very clear who he was and what platform he was running with. And even if you’re a billionaire, maybe you’re not just giving $ 2,800 to political candidates when you’re not sure what their stance is on a cultured conspiracy theory that has become widespread throughout the political party you primarily support?
Nowhere in his statement does Johnson say he is stepping back from political donations, nor is he asking for any reimbursement from those he funded who participated in a coup attempt. All he says is, “My contributions are just mine and are not associated in any way with the San Francisco Giants.”
Shit. When you own the San Francisco Giants, everything you do is associated with the San Francisco Giants. And when the San Francisco Giants owner gives money to the insurgents, San Francisco Giants employees will notice and ask questions.
Angel Cabrera, 2009 Masters champion, he was arrested in Brazil and is being held for extradition to Argentina after a red Interpol warning was issued for the 51-year-old.
This makes him look like he was involved in a very funny movie plot with spies and things like that. In fact, Cabrera was wanted by the Argentine authorities for assaulting his ex-girlfriend.
It turns out that Interpol’s red warnings are quite common. There are about 7,500 assets at the moment, including one for Josephine Sunshine Overaker, which is wanted by the United States for various crimes, including conspiracy to commit arson, arson affecting interstate trade and the destruction of an energy facility.
Seconds the FBI, Overaker has several aliases, including Lisa Rachelle Quintana and Josie, and “can look for a job as a firefighter, midwife, shepherd or masseuse.” Federals rudely point out that “he may have a slight facial mustache,” while saying that “many of the crimes he is accused of participating in were committed by the Land Liberation Front or the Liberation Front.” Animals”.
Overaker is the only fugitive left free Operation BACKFIRE, which investigated crimes that never killed anyone, but caused $ 45 million in damage on behalf of the environment. That is a much better way of plotting the film (or arc for Homer Simpson’s mother) that some washed golfer who commits domestic violence. That a it’s just sad.
