When MSNBC shows a clip of Roger Stone, it’s often of him and his wife arriving at court, followed by a guy carrying a sign. The text of the sign is always cut off. Who is the guy and what does the sign say? I googled it and it is NOT Frank Chu. [Here’s a picture of the guy.](https://www.voanews.com/archive/trump-confidant-roger-stone-loses-bid-delay-sentencing-hearing) ---

This [ABC video on Youtube](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cOTqiddU0GQ) shows most of the sign: > **[DC Black History Night Tour – Capital Buddy Tours](https://capitalbuddytours.com/tours/dc-black-history-night-tourdc-underground-railroad-tour/)** > > DC's Premier African American Tours Guerrilla Warfare Marketing I haven’t visited the website to learn more about the organization. ---

I saw it today on MSNBC I think. I checked and [DC-blacktours.com](http://DC-blacktours.com) is a website that offers tours of Washington DC focused on the African American experience. I guess Guerilla Warfare Marketing is the group that creates these ads and then gets them in front of eyeballs by taking them to newsworthy events like the Stone sentencing. Quite clever, imho. ---

Why would he carry his sign at only Stone-related events? ---

It also has the advantage (for companies like this) that it has a schedule and parts of it are being recorded on public streets. ---
