Top Vance aide worked for far-right consultancy with extremist links

A senior aide to Donald Trump’s running mate, JD #Vance, once worked for a far-right political consultancy that touts its capacity for “#clandestine #actions” and has links to a network of extremist groups and think tanks, the Guardian can reveal.

#Parker #Magid was recently appointed as Vance’s press secretary
His employment history links Vance and his circle to elements of the extremist right far outside the mainstream of American politics.
Vance’s staffer links him to 🔸Beck & Stone🔸 (B&S) and its subsidiary political consultancy 🔸Knight Takes Rook🔸 ( #KTR ).
The brand consultancy with a business address in New York is close to Vance allies including the far-right #Claremont #Institute,
the serial Arizona political candidate #Blake #Masters and the
“#counter-#revolutionary” magazine IM–1776.

B&S was founded in 2014, according to statements by its founders, #Andrew #Beck and #Austin #Stone. Initial company filings in Florida date from April 2015. Its current Florida filings give an address that is a UPS store in New York City.

Beck, also 🔸a Claremont co-founder🔸, is closely involved with the ♦️Society for American Civic Renewal♦️ ( #SACR ), a secretive invitation- and men-only fraternal lodge that has been the subject of extensive previous reporting in the Guardian.
