FEC case exposes paid actor Trump supporters

Rachel Maddow explains how a complaint to the FEC led to the admission that a company that provides background extras supplied "staff" for Donald Trump's very first campaign announcement.

not surprising,and i would predict more of this..much more.

it is not that rare for public officials to create buzz,or solidify an image using paid people as backdrop.

marketers do it all the time,and american politics has simply become another dimension of the public relation/marketing departments.

*points to obama campaign in 2008 winning marketer of the year.

man...what has happened to my country?

Link only loads an ad for me, no article....but from the title seems to be a report from a single person making a claim, which would not be proof by far. If they offer evidence not just one guy's claim, let me know and I'll find and read it elsewhere.
Don't get me wrong, I don't put paying some protesters above the Dems, but that amount is ludicrous.

My guess is it's probably someone from Veritas pretending to be anti Trump and making up lies to make real anti Trumpers look bad, like they've been caught doing time and time again. That amount is insane and would be easy to trace if true, there are more protesters than supporters in DC, it would cost hundreds of millions to pay them like that.

We live in odd time -- paid to protest, paid to support. But hey its a job.

Maddow and the Hollywood Reporter have documentation and admissions from the corporate entities themselves that they hired paid actors. You have a bullshit article with a single person as a source hosted on a website with a Colombian top level domain name. Oh, and the cherry on top of this shit sundae is the name of the author of this article, Jimmy Rustling.
Well played Bobby, well played indeed.

Moving this video to PlayhousePals's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

The link works fine for me. Right from ABC news.

Or since you are calling it BS we can conclude that ABC is FAKE NEWS .

There are others like it.

Since it won't load, I can't say, but they seem to admit it's just a single person's claim in the title, so that's NOT fake news, just news of a false claim.

EDIT: You stinking dirty lying bastard...I tried it again, and it tried to install a virus. Good thing I have Norton that caught and blocked it. ABC news is not hosted on a .co site, so it's not right from ABC news. Don't post links to virus infected sites, and claim they are well known American news sites.

Reporting that someone made a claim, even a false one, is not fake news....claiming the false claim is true (pizzagate) is fake news.

If there are others, why don't you show them? How about others that aren't just virus hosting sites...not that I'll trust ANY link you post now...you lied.

Your link is to a virus hosting site. ABCnews.com.co is fake news, and a fake site.

Googled it, and found your others like it...all caught being FRAUDS. Damn you're unbelievably gullible and love to spread debunked lies by debunked liars. You got trolled by someone trying to show how gullible right wing people like you are with a ridiculous, insane, clearly false story that anyone with 1/10 of a brain saw right through.

These aren't virus sites, they're actual news organizations.

Viruses? The only alarm it set off for me was my bullshit alarm. Did your AV software say what kind? Dammit, now I gotta run a sweep. Although I am running Firefox with Adblock and NoScript, so maybe that made the difference.

It did, but I don't remember exactly...something like....
suspicious activity alert, a hostile attack by (don't remember program name, maybe Trojan.something, not sure) has been blocked by Norton.
I hope you're safe. No more Bob links for this guy, burn me once....

EDIT: Norton security history has it listed as "web attack: fake scan" "webpage 22" "webpage 29", "webpage 12" intrusion attempt...it tried 3 times with different 'webpage' references, all from the same IP...high risk.

Yeah, I didn't notice that he linked a fake site that hosts viruses (according to Norton).
Pretty crappy of him to post it here as 'proof' of these debunked claims of paid protestors....but I expect nothing better.
At least I now know to avoid any link Bob posts....I hope others will follow suit and not get suckered like I did.

What's hilarious is, when interviewed, the 'protestors' at recent town hall meetings could and did prove they lived in the areas the meetings were held in, but the pro Trump people actually WERE bussed in from other counties and admitted it....yet they still claim the anti Trump people are paid shills from out of town with no evidence beyond their ignorant wishful thinking. I hope their homes get burglarized while they're over there lying.
