Crisis actors - a new one for the growing lexicon of our time.

Was it the right who penned this term? I was just thinking how they tend to project their methods and strategies by accusing the Dems of doing whatever the Republicans are guilty of doing themselves. Sometimes it works and the Dems are so busy trying to refute the accusations that they don't realize that they're getting played.

So it leads me to believe that there have been many instances where the Republicans have sent "crisis actors" to push their agenda. I can think of many instances and I'm sure that you can too.

anyone would have known that there would be this mass shooting at this school and get any so-called 'crisis actors' in place so fast.

In the upside down world of crisis actors, there was no shooting. There was a completely staged event designed to discredit the NRA and gun owners.

I think they came up with this after Sandy Hook. The idea of slaughtered babies was too much to argue against, so they created a fantasy world where the children didn’t die, but crisis actors tried to convince us that an atrocity had taken place so we could take their guns.

Play out how totally nutz you need to be to buy into this, and you get an idea of what we are dealing with.
