How An Epstein-Linked PR Firm Helped The Washington Commanders Go Woke

When the Washington Commanders tweeted out an “All Are Welcome” graphic to mark the beginning of Pride Month, it seemed like just another professional sports team going through the woke motions. But the NFL franchise’s embrace of gay pride and similar issues could point to a much deeper problem within the organization, a Daily Wire investigation found. Commanders owner Josh Harris is a client of BerlinRosen, a massive public relations firm that has openly embraced leftist views. When Harris purchased the Commanders from the Snyder family in the summer of 2023, BerlinRosen was openly bragging about how it helped facilitate what it called “the biggest deal in U.S. sports history.” “BerlinRosen supported Harris with strategy and messaging support as he communicated directly with Commanders fans,” the firm wrote at the time. “This achievement with Josh Harris and the Washington Commanders exemplifies how Sports PR can drive transformative change and elevate impactful ventures like this.” Outside the arena, BerlinRosen spends a lot of time pushing leftist causes. In 2021, the firm came out in support for the Movement for Black Lives, a Black Lives Matter offshoot with a long history of anti-Israel activism. The group has shared posts on X accusing Israel of genocide in Gaza and called for a “free Palestine.” BerlinRosen does not seem concerned that its liberal bona fides will be hurt by its longtime relationship with Harris, who has extensive ties to Jeffrey Epstein. In January 2026, the Department of Justice exposed communication between Epstein and Harris, who became acquainted on Wall Street. Between 2013 and 2016, the pair exchanged emails and phone calls and scheduled a meeting at Epstein’s Manhattan home. Harris reportedly attended the meeting alongside Bill Gates, another known Epstein associate. Despite the emails between their client and the man charged with multiple counts of child sex trafficking, BerlinRosen stayed true to Harris, denying that there was an “independent relationship” between the Commanders’ owner and the deceased pedophile. BerlinRosen took a different tack with President Donald Trump, whom the firm worked to remove from the Colorado ballot in February 2024. On an internal call exposed by Project Veritas, staff boasted that they “save[d] democracy” and “knocked it out of the park” for getting Trump kicked off the state’s ballot as part of their work with Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, a far-left activist group backed by George Soros. While he is not their client, BerlinRosen has a direct relationship with Soros, who has contracted them to help elect progressive prosecutors over the years. Nor are Soros-funded groups the only leftist organizations BerlinRosen has worked for. In 2014, the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) paid BerlinRosen roughly $3 million, an organization that supports democrats and even organizes protests across the country. They followed this up seven years later, stating their continued work with SEIU on X.
