Montgomery’s involvement in Georgia Republican politics extends beyond her internship. Since at least 2018, she has been actively engaged with the party, as evidenced by photographs of her with Governor Brian Kemp, holding an access badge at the Georgia Capitol, and working with Republicans on canvassing and outreach efforts in the state. MeidasTouch also discovered a picture of Montgomery working a table at a Charlie Kirk and Candace Owens “Live Free Tour” event in October 2023.
While Montgomery has every right to support Trump, identify as a Black conservative, and be compensated for her Republican political work, it is essential to recognize that the Chick-fil-A encounter was not an organic, spontaneous event. Montgomery’s years of involvement with MAGA Republican causes underscore the staged nature of the interaction. As the public consumes news and media coverage of such events, it is crucial to remain discerning and not be swayed by false narratives pushed by Fox News hosts and other media outlets, which present these manufactured moments as genuine indicators of support.
