'Moderate' Conor Lamb Paid BLM-Linked Firm Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars

The self-described "Moderate" in Pennsylvania's Senate race, Conor Lamb, has paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to a consulting firm that also works for Black Lives Matter, which supports defunding police and abolishing prisons.

From August to December 2021, Lamb funneled more than $270,000 to Fireside Campaigns for "Communications consulting" and other services, federal campaign finance disclosures.

Lamb's decision to employ a "Progressive," BLM-linked firm to craft his campaign messaging could jeopardize his "Moderate" status.

Fireside's work with BLM has landed the firm in hot water.

Neither Fireside nor Lamb returned requests for comment.

In addition to Fireside's partnerships with Lamb and BLM, the firm works with a slew of other Democratic congressional hopefuls, including Ann Roe and Christy Smith.

The group attributed Lamb's shortcomings to the perception that "Primary voters don't yet see Fetterman as the liberal he is," a dynamic Penn Progress said "Needs to change" for Lamb "To have a path in the primary."
