Monday on FNC's Tucker Carlson Tonight, a former liberal who started a campaign to help disenfranchised liberals leave the Democratic Party appeared as a special guest. Brandon Straka was a member of the Democratic Party, voting for Hillary in 2016. However, Staka explained that even before the election he started to have some misgivings about the direction the left was taking. He disagreed with the focus on identity politics, as well as political correctness.

Staka didn’t fully abandon the left until a friend showed him a video of liberal media bias. He was struck at how dishonest the press was in its effort to undermine the Trump campaign in 2016:

“A friend of mine came to me and showed me something that pointed out clearly how dishonest the media was in the Donald Trump campaign. How they would isolate moments from his behavior and make it appear as though he were a racist or a bigot or whatever. Now, I didn't realize this. I thought CNN told the truth. I thought MSNBC told the truth. I thought Rachel Maddow told the truth. So this was mind blowing to me. And once I realized this I went on a quest to find out more, what other things aren't they being honest about. Which it turns out was quite a lot.”

Staka reached out to friends on the left to talk about what he discovered, but said he was “met with hostility and contempt.” He even lost friends over the issue. Staka decided to do something about the situation he was in, and knew others would experience:

“I wanted to create a campaign because I knew there were other people like me who were feeling the same way. I created a testimonial campaign, utilizing video and written testimonials. This is happening on Facebook, the hashtag "walk away" campaign. People on going on from the left, leaving video and written testimonials, why they have walked away.”

That campaign, #WalkAway, has reached almost three and a half million people on Twitter alone. The original Youtube video has 392,951 views at press time. It looks like the at least some on the left are finally waking up to the dishonesty of the liberal media.
