Conservative CEO: It’s Clear the Harris-Walz ‘Burn-and-Bail’ Team ‘Should Not Be in Charge of Running Our Country’

The black, conservative CEO of a national coffee company said it’s clear that the “Burn-and-Bail Ticket” of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz “should not be in charge of running our country.”

“It’s hard for me to believe that the Democrats can only put forth two of the most progressive politicians in our country,” Jon Harvey, president and founder of Iron Sight Coffee Brewing Co., told American Greatness. “At a time when Gov. Walz is allowing unrest in his cities and Kamala Harris has implemented no-bail policies that keep offenders out of jail, it’s clear these two individuals should not be in charge of running our country. They benefit no one.”

Harvey, who founded Iron Sight in 2023, is a longtime political activist in Utah and host of The Modern Conservative Podcast.

Based in Salt Lake City, Iron Sight has customers across the U.S., and donates a portion of all proceeds to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, a non-profit that provides mortgage-free homes to Gold Star families and fallen first responder families with young children.

Harvey was responding to our story yesterday that referred to the Harris-Walz ticket as the “Burn-and-Bail Ticket” because Walz allowed Minneapolis to burn during the 2020 riots, while Harris raised money for an organizations that bailed out the burners.

GOP Vice Presidential nominee J.D. Vance was one of the first to address the “burn-and-bail” team…

Absolute FIRE from JD Vance! 🔥

Walz faced sharp criticism for his reluctance to decisively respond to the riots before they spiraled out of control with the Minneapolis Police Department’s Third Precinct police station being overrun and destroyed by arsonists.

A 2020 Minnesota Senate report on the riots bluntly stated:

“Governor Walz had the ability and duty to use force and law enforcement to stop criminal violence, but he did not. Governor Walz was not willing to do what was necessary to stop the rioting right away because he was having a philosophical debate about whether the use of force should be used to stop violence.”

At least two people were killed and more than 600 arrested as rioters caused hundreds of millions of dollars in damage across Minnesota.

The other side of the burn-and-bail ticket is seen in Kamala Harris’s efforts to raise funds for the Minnesota Freedom Fund (MFF) to bail rioters and other accused violent criminals out of jail.

Though Harris is carefully tiptoeing around the issue by saying she never personally donated to the MFF, it’s clear she was encouraging others to do so.

If you’re able to, chip in now to the @MNFreedomFund to help post bail for those protesting on the ground in Minnesota. https://t.co/t8LXowKIbw

Harris continues to support the MFF on the Act Blue website where her image appears along with a plea to support “those protesting on the ground in Minnesota.”

The MFF is a non-profit organization dedicated to bailing out individuals–primarily racial minorities–from Twin Cities jails. The group’s stated purpose is to address what it perceives as unfairness in the criminal justice system.

The MFF has received more than $35 million in donations since the killing of George Floyd and with the help of high profile advocates like Kamala Harris, Cynthia Nixon and Seth Rogen.

But the funds raised also being used to bail out those accused of violent crimes, including defendants charged with murder, violent felonies, and sex crimes.

Harris’s support for MFF has prompted a Trump super PAC to release one of the strongest political ads of this election cycle.

Don’t be mislead.
Harris promoted the MFF, tweeted her support, & raised huge amounts of money for it.
Murderers, rapists, other criminals released to repeat.

Harris and Walz have near universal support from big tech and the legacy media but it may not be enough to overcome the voters’ memories of how the two of them contributed to the lawlessness of 2020.
