One Year of #WalkAway—Brandon Straka & Friends

On this special episode of American Thought Leaders, we interview #Walkaway founder Brandon Straka, as well as two other New Yorkers who have Walked Away from the democratic party: Daniel Morchy and Christopher Wright. When Brandon posted his iconic first #Walkaway video just over a year ago, he didn’t imagine that it would turn into movement of roughly half a million unique social followers, and inspire 10’s of thousands to make original Walkaway videos themselves. Why did they walk away? How where their lives affected as a result? And what was the media’s role in all of this? This is American Thought Leaders, and I’m Jan Jekielek.
