The Midas Touch Network just broke another major exclusive showing how Donald Trump and right-wing media use this propaganda to spread false narratives.

So here's what happened, folks. Donald Trump was in Georgia where he went to Buckhead to raise money from billionaires. And then they tried to act like he was just showing up in Chick-fil-A so he could just be a man of the people. And while he was in Chick-fil-A, a woman named Michaela Montgomery, we later learned her name, went over and gave him a hug. She's an African-American female. And it seemed to be this spontaneous outbursting of support where she said, like, we love you and thanks for being here. We don't care what the media says. Well, folks, we've uncovered at the Midas Touch Network that this was all staged and part of an elaborate propaganda campaign.

Indeed, Miguela Montgomery is a Republican operative. She works at an organization called Blexit, B-L-E-X-I-T, which is now controlled by Charlie Kirk, who runs Turning Point USA, which has recently stated that African-Americans should not be pilots. And of course, a bunch of other absurd and racist stuff being spewed from turning points that we've covered at the Midas Touch Network. Blexit was previously operated by Candace Owens. We did an article about this on the Midas Touch Network where we exposed it all. Exclusive Trump's viral hug at Chick-fil-A was with a MAGA operative. Miguela Montgomery is a political consultant and former Republican intern. We've got all the photos.

We've got all of the receipts. Fox kept on doing segments about this to try to say that black people are not supporting President Biden and black people are supporting Donald Trump. Now, all propaganda here, all bogus. And we've exposed it all here. Right-wing influencers like Benny Johnson said, the media cannot understand this photo. It hurts them.

It breaks their brains. So they will censor it. Everything he does is false. That's why he's called Don the Khan. Let me show you this moment that was then reposted by Trump's campaign, where they say, watch, Miguela Montgomery, whose hug with President Trump at an Atlantic Chick-fil-A was a viral sensation. Folks, this was all staged. This was all manipulated. But let me show you what they were doing on Fox. Play this clip. So an unforgettable moment on the campaign trail for one voter who got a big hug from

Trump at an Atlanta Chick-fil-A while he met with supporters. Watch. I don't care what the media tells you, Mr. Trump, we support you. We love you. Okay, 4pm, we've been 4pm for a while. Come here, let me give you a hug. Please do. OK, well. Wow. Wow.

Thank you. I told my mama I made it. Look at the joy. Here to tell us about it is that young woman herself, Michaela Montgomery. She's also the founder of a grassroots political group to conserve the culture. Michaela, I've been waiting for this interview all morning. I've been waiting for this my whole life. And then let me show you what they were doing on the Fox show, Jesse Water. So I'm not going to show you a ton of it. I'll show you one more of these. Here, play this clip. It's an election year and Joe Biden's in trouble. One reason why Donald Trump's attracting blacks. Yesterday at Chick-fil-A, it was all love.

I don't care what the media tells you, Mr. Trump. We support you. Okay, 4 p.m. We've been 4 p.m. Come here, let me give you a hug. Please do. Okay, what up, y'all? Wow. That's so good. Wow, thank you! I told my mama I made it! The media knows which way the wind's blowing,

so they're trying to stir things up. As Roland Martin says, this shows you how at Fox News and its host refused to fact check anything. She's not just some voter. She is a Republican operative. But Roland, it's worse than that. They are knowingly doing this. They are shoulder to shoulder in spreading this. Here's the exclusive from Midas Touch. We talked about how a video of a Trump supporter who hugged the presumptive Republican nominee and shouted out support during a visit to an Atlanta Chick-fil-A turned out to be a Republican operative, according to social media posts reviewed by Midas Touch.

Nothing about Trump or his campaign is authentic. Every event is a careful setup ahead of time and staged. They all fit into the same pattern every single time. On every road trip to an event, the campaign sets up an excursion to a fast food restaurant, either before or after his speech. The campaign always has the law enforcement officers waiting at the airport tarmac when he arrives.

His advance team has throngs of cheering supporters waiting for him so they can get the photo and video clips to social media, to Fox, to Newsmax, to all the right-wing propaganda outlets for it. I mean, folks, this is Kim Jong-un stuff. This is, you know, North Korea stuff. This is stuff that we see in Russia. We talk about how Trump wears the same clothes. He gives the same speech. He repeats the same thing, trying to give off, oh, this is a man of the people veneer

before the pampered fraudster from New York City flies on his jet back to Palm Beach, where an army of people wait on his every need. If you watch all of his rallies and appearances, you can pretty much tell someone ahead of time exactly what he is going to do every step of the way. He's got the people in the blacks for Trump t-shirts stationed directly behind him for the cameras at every event, as if they are following him around the country on their own dime and just happen to get those seats randomly. They staged a fake union rally in Michigan where they had non-union people, many of whom were not even autoworkers,

holding up union workers for Trump. I mean, the ultimate scab move. They went into a non-union shop and had non-autoworkers, non-union workers hold up a sign pretending to be union workers. And then Trump went around saying that he was speaking with union workers. Here, play this clip. In fact, I went up to Michigan to save the United Auto Workers from their union because

their union was negotiating a terrible thing doing, a terrible thing. They were negotiating hourly wages, but they weren't talking about the electric vehicles because they can have all the wages they want, but in two years, they're not going to have a job if they go with this mandate.

Remember that in Michigan? And he told the audience what she supposedly said to him, which he basically plagiarized from the obituary. He did not meet with the family. Remember this clip? On March 22nd, he shot 17-year-old Ruby. Actually, she was a beautiful, beautiful young woman. Ruby Garcia was shot multiple times. And then he did it again this week in Atlanta. As we mentioned, he did a fundraiser with a small group of billionaires in Buckhead,

where Kelly Loeffler is from. But then the campaign used a staged sojourn to a local Chick-fil-A to create a three-day news cycle that there is a groundswell of black working-class Georgians who showed up to greet them. They posted the photos that went viral on media and social media. It's all an op. MAGA Republicans have been using the viral video and photo of Montgomery's hug to claim that Trump has overwhelming support from black voters due to what appeared to be an organic outpouring of support from someone who just happened to be in the same place at the same time. Trump seized on the moment, posting the Fox News clip on his social media platform.

Montgomery was introduced as the founder of a conservative-themed group, Conserve Culture. During the interview, Montgomery admitted to visiting the location with her students, knowing that Trump would be there. And here you see Mikkel Montgomery. She was an intern in the Republican Party. Regular people don't have pre-knowledge of Trump's visitations to particular fast food locations. And as it turns out, on top of having

her own conservative group, Montgomery has worked in the Republican Party of Georgia. And that's according to her LinkedIn profile that we've identified. She describes herself as a political consultant, a director of outreach and engagement. And according to her bio, she worked at Blexit, founded by Candace Owens to recruit black voters into voting for Trump and joining the Republican Party. It's now controlled by Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk has said things like this. Play the clip. And that's why I think this United story and the DEI story hits so hard because we've all been in the back of a plane when the turbulence hits or when you're flying through a storm and you're like i'm so glad i saw the guy

with the right stuff and the square jaw get into the cockpit before we took off and i feel better now thinking i mean like you want to go thought crime like i'm sorry if i see a black pilot i'm gonna be like boy i hope he's qualified well that, that's the game theory I'm talking about. You wouldn't have done that before. That's not who I am. That's not what I believe. It is the reality the left has created. And then we've also uncovered a picture of Montgomery working at a table at a Charlie Kirk and Candace Owens live free tour in October of 2023, you see right there. And of course, we've covered Kirk's attacks on MLK, black pilots, and black professionals before here, and we've broke those stories. As we said on the article, Montgomery doesn't need anyone's permission to support Trump or to be a black conservative or to get paid for Republican political work. But let's not pretend this is

some organic event that unfolded. Montgomery has been working for MAGA Republican causes for years. Don't fall for the Fox News host pushing this as some kind of spontaneous indicator of support. And what we do know is that Donald Trump's support is tanking. He's getting crushed right now in polls. He's losing support. The recent Pew Research poll does not show any of the demographic shifts that Trump and the media has been trying to push on us, all bogus, all false. And that's why it's important that we all, you all, as part of this Midas Mighty community, we take back the power. This is the year in 2024, we reject manipulated media narratives, not just the right wing, but legacy media narratives. We reject it. We focus on the truth. We call it out. We expose it. And then we make sure that

narratives align with facts. That's what we'll do together. Another great story from Midas Touch Network. I want to thank, though, it's done because of our great writing staff. You want to support their work, go to patreon.com slash Midas Touch. They've broken so many big stories. I can't even, hundreds of massive stories they've broke. I know legacy media won't give credit where they break these stories, but I don't care about credit. Let's just keep growing this community together and getting these stories out there.
