Breitbart’s film My Son Hunter debuted online Wednesday, September 7. The night before its release, the Dallas 1776 Brigade hosted one of their “patriotic rushes” featuring a banner drop and flag wave on Northpark Boulevard Bridge over Central Expressway 75-North.
Cyrena Nolan, founder of the Dallas 1776 Brigade, told The Dallas Express that the group began doing “patriotic rushes” five days a week in August of 2021. At these events, they would rally on bridges in Dallas during rush hour with banners to draw attention to the “very vital stories” that mainstream media does not cover.
The group recently sought to promote the film My Son Hunter, directed by Robert Davi, which details numerous instances of reported corruption by Hunter Biden, son of the U.S. president. Nolan noted that Brian Godawa, the filmmaker, was in attendance at Wednesday’s banner drop.
Critics such as The Guardian dismissed the movie as “an unhinged low-budget drama based less on fact and more on conspiracy theory,” claiming that the film “offers lunatics a safe space.” The news outlet claimed that while the movie centers around the Hunter Biden laptop scandal, the scandal is, in essence, moot as the “contents of said computer have been proved non-scandalous.”
The laptop included thousands of emails that reportedly suggest Hunter Biden used his father’s political standing to negotiate business deals, and Facebook censored reporting on the laptop prior to the 2020 elections at the request of the FBI. Hunter Biden’s business dealings are the focus of an ongoing federal investigation.
Nolan, however, stated that her group sees the film as “symbolic of the decadence and corruption in the government.” She argues that the movie is not a “hit piece” on the Biden family, but instead the story of a tragedy.
Last Wednesday’s banner featured “Hunter Biden” in a jockstrap with his arm around a scantily clad woman in promotion of the movie. The banner was signed by attendees and then sent across the country to different overpasses. The group has named this journey “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (less Hunter Banner).”
From Dallas, the banner traveled to the Montgomery Street Bridge in Fort Worth, after which there was a watch party. It then traveled to Afton, Minnesota, on Thursday; Hudson, Wisconsin, on Friday; and from there back to parts of Texas and Missouri.
