Renel Brooks-Moon is the public address announcer for the San Francisco Giants. She was only the second woman to get that job in Major League Baseball when she took over for her first, Sherry Davis, in 2000. She is also one of the few black public address announcers in MLB.
There are not many of these jobs and they are extremely difficult to obtain. So it was a big risk on Friday when Brooks-Moon called Giants owner Charles Johnson for financial support for sympathetic Congresswoman Lauren Boebert of Colorado.
Not just Boebert to whom Johnson directed money during the 2020 election cycle. The Giants owner financed many among the biggest insurgents in Congress, including Senator Tommy Tuberville and representatives Madison Cawthorn, Jim Jordan and Nicole Malliotakis.
Shouting that he was directing the money essentially to overthrowing the American system, Johnson released a statement late Friday saying, “It is often difficult to predict the future behavior of candidates and I would never have imagined that any legitimate candidate would participate in the undermining. the basic values of our great country. I wasn’t even aware that any candidate I contributed to was associated with QAnon. “

Really? When Axios compiled a list of QAnon-friendly candidates in July, Boebert was mentioned before Marjorie Taylor Greene. He was literally at the top of the list. And she radio advertising During the mayor’s office, she talked about how she helped “stop Democrats from stealing our votes for President Trump.” (Note that the still image on your own YouTube page incorrectly spells the word “fought” as “FAUGHT”).
Johnson’s $ 2,800 donation for Boebert’s campaign was made in September, when it was very clear who he was and what platform he was running on. And even if you’re a billionaire, maybe you’re not just returning $ 2,800 to political candidates when you’re not sure what their position is on a cultist conspiracy theory that has become widespread throughout the political party you support in the first place?
Nowhere in his statement does Johnson say he is backing away from political donations, nor does he demand money back from those he funded who were involved in a coup attempt. All he says is, “My contributions are mine alone and are not associated in any way with the San Francisco Giants.”
Rahat. When you own 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, the San Francisco Giants employees will notice and ask questions.
Angel Cabrera, 2009 Masters Champion, was arrested in Brazil and is being held for extradition to Argentina after a red Interpol permit was issued for the 51-year-old.
That sounds like he was involved in a really cool movie plot with spies and stuff. In reality, Cabrera was wanted by the Argentine authorities for assaulting his ex-girlfriend.
It seems that Interpol red notifications are quite common. There are almost 7,500 assets at the moment, including one for Josephine Sunshine Overaker, which is being sought by the United States for a variety of crimes, including conspiracy to commit a fire, which affects interstate trade and destroys an energy facility.
Conformable FBI, Overaker has several pseudonyms, including Lisa Rachelle Quintana and Josie and “can look for a job as a firefighter, midwife, a sheep offer or masseuse.” The federation notes rudely that “he may have a light mustache on his face,” while saying that “many of the crimes she is accused of participating in have been claimed to have been committed by the Land Liberation Front or the Animal Liberation Front.”
Overaker is the only fugitive left Operation BACKFIRE, which investigated the crimes that did not kill anyone but caused $ 45 million in damage on behalf of the environment. This It is a much better argument for film (or arc for Homer Simpson’s mother) than a washed golfer who commits domestic violence. That one it’s just sad.
