http://www.rawstory.com/2017/06/there-are-real-paid-protesters-but-theyre-all-right-wingers/Ill give up to 10 people $1,000, Cernovich says in the footage. I need you to get up with either a CNN is ISIS or Bill Clintons a rapist or The media is terrorism sign. And if youre able to get up and be escorted out by security, then I will give you $1,000.
In other words, Cernovich was actively and openly looking to recruit paid protesters. You know how conservatives made up that ridiculous myth about George Soros sending checks to liberals who march in protests? This is the real version of that, only sponsored by Cernovich.
The story actually gets richer, so to speak, as it continues. The night after Cernovichs offer, two protesters went to see Julius Caesar in the park. Semi-notorious right-wing media figure Laura Loomer snagged a ticket for a second-row seat that definitely should have gone to someone who actually wanted to see the play. Alt-right provocateur Jack Posobiec, whose greatest hits include pizzagate and the Seth Rich conspiracy lie, also showed up. The two Trumpites told the New Yorker they hadnt planned to meetwhich may or may not be trueand once they spotted each other, they sat apart so as not to arouse suspicion. Are you here for the Cernovich contest? Posobiec reportedly texted Loomer, according to the New Yorker. She responded, Just stay tuned.
In the middle of the production, Loomer stormed the stage, briefly halting the action and earning a chorus of boos from an audience that just wanted to see some Shakespeare. Theres footage of the whole thing, including Loomer being removed from the stage as she shouts CNN is ISISthe exact phrase Cernovich suggestedover and over. As Loomer was escorted out, Posobiec stood up and began yelling Nazis and Goebbels at the audience, until he was removed. He also recorded his outburst, possibly because Cernovich wants proof before hell pay out.

EDIT: You know, normally it would be bad to lie to people to get them to donate to your cause. But this is deplorables fleecing deplorables. So... I'm fine with that.

(82,849 posts)1. Shocking!
Has Sean Hannity been notified?
Notice how Loomer and Posobiec carefully tailor their story to avoid any charges of conspiracy: Oh no, we didn't plan this in advance, not at all. We were just following the same orders, totally independent of each other. We just happened to arrive at the same time, saw one another, and by the merest coincidence, Jack knew Laura's number to text her. Uh huh.

Good strategy to sell books- at least until dude's old interviews were dug up.

The sooner this alt right fad goes away, the better.
