Need help finding out what this video is...

So Matt Gaetz posted this on his twitter account, claiming that it shows women and children in the caravan getting paid to "storm the border". He posts no source for this claim or has any proof to back it up.




I have been looking for what this video is or where it came from...any sleuths out there want to take a crack at it?

this is a fascist's wet dream. Makes all their scapegoating, fear mongering, racist fantasies come true. Just in time for the midterms.

while the gop candidates get to demonize these poor people.

if they really wanted to stop illegal immigration the employers in red counties would stop hiring undocimented labor.

Looks more like a charity of some sort handing out cash or vouchers to women with children.

Leave it to the pukes to twist it for their own purposes.

If you scroll down in the twitter feed it will show that information from a local. They are in Guatemala not Honduras.

I guess the First Baptist Church of Fort Walton Beach, where Gaetz is a member (according to his congressional website) isn't real big on the 10 Commandments. Or the Christian Testament. Or the books of Isaiah, Jeremiah, Micah or Amos.

Sad!
