I've now attended several anti-Trump protests / town halls and haven't found a single "paid protester." George Soros missing in action.

Paid protesters: if you're out there, please get in touch. People on the internet are sure you exist.

Amusingly, Democrats used their own version of the "paid protester" meme to de-legitimize town hall agitators in 2009.pic.twitter.com/ewShvgM4yg

And it's also "to some extent true" that liberal advocacy organizations are encouraging/supporting these events. So what?

I'm open to those allegations being exaggerated, but there doesn't seem to be much ambiguity about it

I attended and reported on various AFP events. They were funded by the Kochs, yes, but just helped funnel real grassroots sentiment.

And AFP wasn't the sole force behind the 2009 town hall protests. Many of those were just self-organized.

is there an equivalent of AFP and $5 million Koch seed money for the current "resistance?"
