Gay-for-Trumper Brandon Straka must be feeling awfully lonely these days.
The gays don’t like him for obvious reasons. And now the Trumpers don’t either after court documents that were accidentally released to the media last week revealed the extent in which he cooperated with the FBI in its investigation into the deadly January 6 insurrection.
Oops!

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Quick backstory: In January, 45-year-old Straka, who founded the #WalkAway movement in 2018 to encourage people to ditch the Dems and support Donald Trump instead, agreed to a plea deal and was sentenced to three months of home detention plus three years of probation and a $5,000 fine for his involvement in Capitol Riots.
At the time of his sentencing, prosecutors said he had been “cooperative” and “helpful” with investigators, though they didn’t offer any further details.

Last week, court documents were mistakenly emailed to reporters and they show just how “helpful” Straka was. Turns out, he met with investigators three separate times, speaking to them for a total of four to five hours, and–surprise!–he ratted out all of his insurrectionist friends.
Per Buzzfeed News:
At the Feb. 11 meeting, he provided information regarding “Stop the Steal” organizer Ali Alexander and members Amy Kremer, Kylie Kremer, and Cindy Chafian.
He also provided information regarding Simone Gold, the founder of America’s Frontline Doctors, a group that has questioned COVID-19 vaccines and pushed unproven drugs. Gold pleaded guilty to one Jan. 6–related misdemeanor offense in March this year as part of a plea agreement. Last month, she was sentenced to two months in prison…
Prosecutors said Straka had turned over voicemail messages from Gold that contained “valuable” information, which they indicated could lead her to take a plea deal.
In addition to that, Staka named another person who authorities still hadn’t been able to identify:
On Dec. 8, Straka’s attorneys provided the government with information regarding a registered sex offender who lived near him in Nebraska. Straka said he observed this man participating in the riot and encouraging others to take an officer’s shield. Prosecutors said this information was “beneficial” because the man “was not previously identified by the FBI prior to Straka’s identification.” That man has not yet been charged with offenses relating to Jan. 6.
The documents were supposed to be kept under seal but were accidentally attached to a bulk email sent by the court to a group of media people late last week. Now, Straka’s attorney has filed a motion demanding a hearing about the documents’ release “without Court approval.”
Meanwhile, Staka took to his Gettr and Truth Social pages very late on Friday night to play the victim and defend himself against accusations of being a “snitch.”

“I’ve suffered immensely at the hands of the DOJ for a year and a half,” he said. “The reason why these documents were leaked is because I didn’t go away and crawl in a hole and die after my case the way they wanted me to. I’m still not going to now.”
For the record: Pretty much every media outlet is reporting that the sealed documents were sent in error and were not intentionally leaked. Also, the judge overseeing Straka’s case, Judge Dabney L. Friedrich, is a 2017 Trump appointee.
Unfortunately for Staka, he’s not getting much sympathy from anyone for his ordeal. Here’s what folx are saying on Twitter…
If you’re friends with violent insurrectionists, I can’t really blame you being very worried by their reaction to you doing your civic duty and cooperating with the DOJ.
But, well, you made the bed, so lie in it, Straka.

Brandon Straka rolled over on his fellow “Patriots”, including Dr. Simone Gold who court documents refer to as “a rabid Stop the Steal supporter”
LMAO

He could just get a job, and resign himself to just do the right thing in all that he does.

Pretty funny watching a bunch of criminals climbing over each other, hoping that they’ll be the next one to be able to sell out their fellow criminals.

While you’re here, relive that moment when Staka had a meltdown at the Dallas airport after he was kicked off a flight for refusing to wear a mask during the height of the pandemic in 2020…

Mister P
When people join the Drumpf train, they aren’t bringing their best. They are liars, backstabbers, rats and morons. I wouldn’t trust them to plant sit a cactus for 3 days.
Manray
They’re brain dead. What does anyone expect from hopeless morons?
GentlemanCaller
Let’s go, Brandon…the little shit got what he deserves.
dbmcvey
What third grader came up with the “let’s go Brandon” thing?
dbmcvey
He’s a very stupid man who, I suspect, has some undiagnosed mental issues.
Huron132
What a sad little babygirl. I have never seen someone who thinks they are so privileged. You are a sack of bones and you deserve all the disgust and s**t you have shoveled. So sit in it and rot like the rest should as well. Your disgusting!
tjack47
I had no idea whom he was, but I’d overheard the story of a canary in their midst. When Trumpsters are faced with the awful truth(that he doesn’t give a shit about them) it’s like hitting a brick wall. I’d save my own ass too. Just look how hateful his own group is to him now.
Mack
Hope he still ends up in prison. He squealed because he didn’t want his ass to get a work out while he was in prison.
ShiningSex
Gays for Trump are as pointless as blacks for the KKK. That’s how ridiculous they sound. Think about it.
surfnspy
And yet, somehow, they probably exist. It’s incomprehensible.
Nice that this is made public. One should be proud of the work they do.
johncp56
spot on as the tRump team is going deeper KKK MTG is selling Christians nationalist for pres how kkk can you get
JohnMc888
What about the NYC celebrity gay pro-Trump provocateur who went around giving talks at college campuses a few years ago? He had a lot of young gay fans in the fashion industry. They apparently suppported Trump becuase they did not like blacks or Hispanics.
Kangol2
There are infinitely more Gays for Don the Con than you’ll find Black people supporting the KKK, and we’ve seen MANY of the first, under screen names like “GaysforTrump,” on this site! No matter how much the GQP dogs them out, humiliates them, tries to strip away their rights and humanity, they still go crawling and groveling back. There’s even one who comes on here spewing conspiracy theories about the Democrats “paying” actors or agents to undertake clear Don the Con initiatives like the January 6, 2021 attempted coup! Or that far-right, anti-LGBTQ attempted attack on that Idaho Pride parade! What is it going to take to get through to these gay people?
surfnspy
Of course he’s saying all of this so he can sue for millions.
And our legal system, being what it is, will probably net him millions.
Which he will use to buy power in his strange conservative circle which will be populated by dim witted sycophants who spend a lot of time in the gym. I’m sure he sees Aaron Schock as an idol of some sort.
Den
Uh…sue whom? And for what?
By cooperating he pretty much admits his guilt, so cannot sue the government for illegal or unconstitutional treatment. And his traitorous trash fellow insurrectionists would not have enough money to cover the legal bills, let alone a settlement.
He will be safer if he goes to prison where he cam peddle his ass for protection from fellow right wingers. The old saying “snitches get stitches” goes double for him as the right wingers ultimately hate gay folks regardless of their of their political stance.
johncp56
Is this what they are yelling go Brandon!!
dbmcvey
LOL!
IanHunter
Maybe he should share a cell with Trumpty Dumpty.

“The reason why these documents were leaked is because I didn’t go away and crawl in a hole and die after my case the way they wanted me to. “
No you dumbarse…they leaked this because they want to put some panic into some other people. Straka has such an inflated sense of self worth that he didn’t even realize he was a throw-away pawn.
Stop whoring yourself out playa…you ain’t made for this career.
GayEGO
Oh! So Brandon likes Trump, a bully who lies all of the time. But you threw Trump under the bus! Oh well, you are convicted now!
Kangol2
Brandon right-wing double agent snitch girl, you in trouble!
teebird
I cannot wrap my mind around anyone who’s not vanilla getting on the trump train. Him and his crew..Marge,Gaitz and the all the rest hate those of us that don’t march to their drummer. They won’t be happy until they’ve set this country back decades. Don’t say gay, reversing roe versus Wade, what’s next? Women losing the vote? Their mindset is us versus them and it’s fueled by fear and hatred. Where in that mindset is there room for anyone with an iota of individuality?
