Who is he? What's he trying to say? And why is he suddenly popping up at high-profile media circuses all over Washington?
The man holding “This is a sign!” stands behind Paul Manafort's lawyer Kevin Downing as he speaks with reporters after Manafort's sentencing Wednesday.
This-is-a-sign guy has become a fixture at camera scrums in and around the nation’s capital in recent months. He was prominently in the frame at Manafort’s sentencing hearing earlier in the month in Alexandria. “This is a sign!” waved cryptically above Roger Stone at his arraignment on Jan. 28. There he and his sign were outside of a Valentine’s Day appearance of former Starbucks’s CEO Howard Schultz.
“I saw a sign, from God, I think, just when I needed most; an answered prayer, a divining rod, a paranormal guidepost.” There is a publicity-stunt tradition of bewigged Christian zealots, most notably Rollen Stewart, who planted himself in many a sports broadcast in his rainbow Afro and “John 3:16” shirt .
Christeson himself is a lifelong human rights and anti-violence activist who has had his eye on Manafort’s career since the political consultant worked for Filipino strongman Ferdinand Marcos in the 1980s. At Wednesday’s sentencing, he held a sign that read “Blameless? Manafort Sold His Soul to Dictators.”
