Fox News Digital obtained screenshots of Signal messages between NGP C-suite leaders, including CEO Kendra Cotton, chief field and organizing officer Keron Blair, and CTO Gabe Posey. The conversation sheds light on how its leaders discussed cutting ties with their executive administrator in a manner that does not fall apart under scrutiny because “young, white, seemingly progressive, lesbian women/men do not go quietly into the night.”

A source familiar with the C-suite inner workings who shared the conversation with Fox News Digital said the “T-Shirt Debacle” chat stemmed from the employee in question placing an order for shirts in which the organization already had a surplus. …

“It can’t be based on something that falls apart with scrutiny. It has been my experience that young, white, seemingly progressive, lesbian women/men do not go quietly into the night,” the CFO continued. “I think we would do well to take a moment, have a conversation, make a plan and work to move people out/maybe even help find places for them to land.”

“And she will add on the bullsh– about [former CEO NsĂ© Ufot] infantilizing and bullying her for being white,” Cotton wrote. “It’s the only reason she is still here. I needed to calm that sh– down.”
