Straka’s ban comes as he is planning a #WalkAway march on Washington this October. The movement is for Democrats who are leaving the party over their increasingly ridiculous antics.
“I’m devasted right now. #WalkAway Campaign is a grassroots movement. We don’t have corporate sponsors. We don’t have backers. We are raising the money and the awareness for our event ourselves. We use GoFundMe to raise money. And today Facebook took away my ability to communicate with the 180,000 members of the campaign leading up to the March. This is going to smash my ability to provide information, answer questions, raise money, and rally with my people. I am crushed,” Straka told The Gateway Pundit.
I am thrilled to officially announce- the #WalkAway March on Washington, October 26-28th.
It will be a weekend to change history. Join us!!! And please share this video!#WalkAway #WalkAwayMarch #WalkAwayCampaign pic.twitter.com/ijcFvtMBRM— Brandon Straka (The Unsilent Minority) (@usminority) September 5, 2018
“Today I was banned by Facebook from communicating with my audience leading up to the March on Washington. This is devastating as they are depending on me 4 info. I was banned 4 mentioning the name of a conservative also recently banned from all platforms,” Straka tweeted.
It looks like Brandon’s account will be blocked until after the march and rally in October.
Someone just sent this to me. I love SO MUCH all of the support I’ve gotten today. It’s been amazing. Thank you all. #WalkAwayMarch #WalkAway #WalkAwayCampaign pic.twitter.com/tntxW10Vw1

To be clear, you can be banned for SAYING THE NAME of a person or show that they don’t like. Interesting that saying the name “Hitler” 10,000x a day when describing our president is not a problem. But mention A.J.? BANNED. https://t.co/gHQl4meA4D
