Mayors Against Guns, PR Strategy and Matthew Miller
The group Mayors Against Guns is revealed to be using the PR agency Vianovo, employing former DOJ official Matthew Miller to manage their media presence. Miller appears on news programs as an expert without always being disclosed as a paid spokesperson for the gun control advocacy group. The hosts highlight this as an example of "astroturfing" and coordinated media messaging.
Mayors Against Illegal Guns, Nancy Pelosi Constitutional Oath
The coalition Mayors Against Illegal Guns is criticized for its celebrity-driven messaging regarding the Second Amendment. Additionally, Nancy Pelosi is called out for misstating her constitutional oath, using the law enforcement phrase "protect and defend" rather than the legislative duty to "uphold" the Constitution.
Demand a Plan, Celebrity Gun Control Campaign
The "Demand a Plan" initiative, backed by Mayors Against Illegal Guns, released a star-studded video featuring celebrities calling for legislative action on gun violence. The hosts analyze the video's use of neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) and rhythmic editing. They point out the irony of actors who profit from violent media advocating for gun restrictions.
