Ex-Obama Aide Represents Radical Illegal-Alien Group
Demanding end to ‘militarization of the border’
WND
An activist publicity firm run by a communications director for Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign now represents Detention Watch Network, which has been leading protests and activism in support of illegal aliens.
Just yesterday, members of the network marched to the Customs and Border Protection headquarters in Washington, D.C., to demand what they called an “end to militarization of the border.”
Last week, the publicity firm FitzGibbon Media reportedly sent out an email alert about a Detention Watch Network protest scheduled for the Jack Harwell Detention Center in Waco, Texas. The event was calling for better conditions at the detention facility, including a legal library and on-site medical facility.
FitzGibbon Media, which represents Detention Watch, is run by progressive activist Trevor FitzGibbon, who served as a communications director for Obama’s 2008 campaign.
His firm represents a who’s who of progressive clients, including the radical MoveOn.org, the pro-abortion NARAL group, Amnesty International, the Daily KOS blog and Wisconsin Progress.
The firm also represents Color of Change, the environmental activist group founded by Obama’s controversial former “green” jobs czar Van Jones as well as Jones’ latest inception, an activist group called Rebuild the Dream.
“At FitzGibbon Media, we only work for clients whose causes we truly believe in,” states the group’s website.
Curiously, FitzGibbon’s work on Obama’s campaign is missing from his official bio on the FitzGibbon Media website.
Also missing from his bio is that FitzGibbon formerly worked for years in a senior capacity at Fenton Communications, which is the ground zero of publicity for hundreds of major progressive organizations.
Fenton represents clients financed by the George Soros-funded Tides Foundation.
Tides also funds the Detention Watch Network. Tides is the nation’s biggest funder of far-left groups, including MoveOn.org and previously the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN.
FitzGibbon Media’s managing director is former Fenton executive Doug Gordon.
WND reported Gordon’s contact information was once listed on an Occupy Wall Street press release announcing a march past millionaires’ homes in New York in 2011.
