Remember this? That’s activist Robert Vinson Brannum, yelling at The Washington Post’s building through megaphones attached to the roof of his car. Of course he was given a job in the Gray administration! (Come on, like you had to ask.)
Loose Lips had the news yesterday that Brannum — who was one of the 41 people arrested alongside Gray during an autonomy protest in April — has landed a temporary gig in the Office of Veterans Affairs, where he’ll organize an event marking the tenth anniversary of the September 11 attacks. For his work, Brannum will be paid $37,000, more than enough cash to purchase a couple more loudspeakers for the roof of his vehicle.
