Nandini Jammi @nandoodles I’m glowing inside out this morning because what we did to Tucker Carlson, we’ve done 10x worse to Steve Bannon over at Real America’s Voice. That man his feeling his mortality right now.💀

Tucker Carlson has something new in common with Breitbart, Bill O’Reilly, Dan Bongino and Steve Bannon: he’s lost to Sleeping Giants. Sleeping Giants — the social media campaign I co-founded in 2016 — is now the common denominator in the fall of every major media figure in hate speech and disinformation. Our campaign to make bigotry and hate unprofitable now has a 100% success rate. Not too shabby, eh?

A coalition of far-left political activist organizations known for peddling smears about conservatives held a protest at Mastercard’s annual general meeting (AGM) today, aiming to pressure the international credit card giant to financially blacklist wider sections of the political right. The groups’ proposal to form a “human rights committee” did not sway shareholders, who voted the measure down. At Mastercard’s AGM this morning, the far-left groups SumOfUs and Sleeping Giants circled the venue with a mobile billboard stating: “Putting hate groups out of business? #Priceless.” According to a press release published by the two organizations, this was coupled with a...

Comedian Bill Maher drew backlash on Friday after he suggested that Rep. Will Hurd (R-Tx.), who is black, collected intelligence near “Popeyes” during his career in the CIA. Maher had pressed Hurd on why he was a Republican. "They’re not good at national defense — the president’s a traitor. What’s in it for you? What is in the Republican Party for you? You were in the CIA!” Hurd, discussing his work in the CIA with Maher, said “I was the dude in the back alleys at 4 o’clock in the morning collecting intelligence.” “That’s where they collect them?” Maher responded,...

CNN swept aside journalistic ethics on Sunday by endorsing a blacklisting campaign with a glowing interview of Matt Rivitz, the founder of Sleeping Giants, a failed effort to censor Breitbart News by harassing and intimidating companies whose advertisements may (or may not) have appeared on the website. The interview took place on Reliable Sources, a Sunday morning show that once focused on analyzing the media, but which in recent years has been turned into the editorial mouthpiece of CNN president Jeff Zucker, voiced through host Brian Stelter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_eWBPpCBiU Sunday’s program was helmed by substitute anchor John Avlon, in for Stelter...

Sleeping Giants is far from the most recognizable name among left-wing activist groups, but it’s made its presence felt in numerous boycott campaigns against conservative commentators, publications, and organizations. Now, a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation has unmasked its anonymous founder. Sleeping Giants launched in November 2016, with a self-described mission of “stopping racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic and anti-Semitic news sites by stopping their ad dollars.” Its targets have included the prominent conservative website Breitbart, conservative talk show host Laura Ingraham, the Canada-based Rebel Media, former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly, and the National Rifle Association (NRA). The group’s primary...

Left-wingers at Google are engaged in a relentless effort to demonetize Breitbart News from its AdSense platform and are linking advertising clients to the anti-Breitbart, far-left pressure group Sleeping Giants. Previously, Google employees have contacted Breitbart News to reveal an atmosphere of indoctrination and intimidation, driven by leftist zealots at the company. Current and former employees at Google now tell us that those same zealots are trying to use the company’s immense power against Breitbart News. In addition to placing pressure on management to take action against the site, they are also working to undermine Breitbart’s reputation with advertisers. Breitbart...
