    I actually heard someone IRL the other day tell me (with complete seriousness) that people were being paid to protest Trump. When I stated that several news sources had I fact determined this to be false, he just shrugged. Amazing how many people don't verify the information they read on the Internet.

        That was a James O'Keefe video, everything he has put out has been proven to be heavily edited and misleading once the full videos are released. He was also paid by the Trump campaign to make and release those videos. Even the blaze has called O'Keefe out for the editing on his videos in the past.

        O'Keefe is a notorious scam artist going back, at least, to his ACORN pimp "expose". A total right wing sheister
