Liberty Safe Scandal: Parent Company Exposed as Major Donor to Gun-Control Democrats – Report
Liberty Safe, known as “America’s #1 heavy-duty home and gun safe manufacturer,” is facing backlash after it was revealed that its parent company has donated nearly half a million dollars to pro-gun control Democratic officials.
On Wednesday, Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk shared FEC filings on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, that exposed Liberty Safe’s parent company, Monomoy Capital Partners, for donating hundreds of thousands of dollars to Democrats.
“I pulled the FEC reports on the company and found approximately $400,000 over the last 10 cycles of max donations to Democrats,” Kirk wrote.
Liberty Safe was sold to Monomoy Capital Partners in 2021, a liberal East Coast investment firm. I pulled the FEC reports on the company and found approximately $400,000 over the last 10 cycles of max donations to Democrats like:

“Liberty Safe’s current CEO, Justin Hillenbrand, was a founding partner of Monomoy and donated $4,600 to Obama for America,” Kirk added.
In a news release, Monomoy Capital announced its acquisition of Liberty Safe in 2021, calling it “another great example of Monomoy partnering with a branded, market-leading, consumer products manufacturer that has garnered an enthusiast customer base throughout the company’s history.”
Among the notable donations listed were those to Democratic Sens. Raphael Warnock of Georgia, John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, and Mark Kelly of Arizona, as well as former Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes of Wisconsin – all of whom have expressed support for gun control.
Barnes lost a bid to unseat Wisconsin Republican Sen. Ron Johnson in November.
Kirk’s report comes at a time when Liberty Safe is already facing intense criticism for providing the FBI with a customer’s safe passcode.
Nathan Earl Hughes of Fayetteville, Arkansas, was arrested on Aug. 30 for his involvement in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol incursion, according to The New York Times.
The FBI requested access to Hughes’ gun safe during a search of his home that day. Despite no court order requiring them to do so, Liberty Safe voluntarily provided the passcode to the FBI, as reported by the Times.
Hughes’ lawyer, William Shipley, described Liberty Safe’s actions as a betrayal, considering there was no legal obligation for them to cooperate with the FBI.
Hughes’ case has gained attention from conservative duo the “Hodgetwins,” who referred to him as an “outspoken American Patriot” and a “friend of ours.”
The Hodgetwins shared a video of Hughes’ arrest and the arrival of an FBI convoy at his home. Due to the FBI disabling his home security system, there is no footage of the search itself.
Last week, a friend of ours was raided by the feds over J6, his name is Nathan Hughes and he’s from Fayetteville, Arkansas. Nate was raided by the FBI and arrested at gunpoint. His girlfriend (who just had a miscarriage) was held at gunpoint and put in handcuffs. The FBI… pic.twitter.com/LOpMQ28eUJ

Meanwhile, Liberty Safe has attempted to address the backlash by allowing customers to remove their safe’s passcodes from the company’s database.
“Effective immediately, customers can visit www.libertysafe.com/pages/combination-removal and fill out the form to have records of their access codes expunged,” Liberty Safe said in a statement shared on X.
