Guys, you know that Cheetolini Balcony thing that happened yesterday? You know, the one where Prznint Stupid spoke for 17 minutes and then sundowned hisself back inside?
Many of the visitors were paid to be there:
Some guests for Saturday’s White House event on the South Lawn, which will be President Donald Trump‘s first since testing positive for the coronavirus, had their travel and lodging paid for by controversial conservative activist Candace Owens’ group BLEXIT, according to emails obtained by ABC News.
From what I understand BLEXIT is the astroturf project from Owens that declares Black Americans are leaving the Democrat party, you know, because the Dems are the real racists:
Supporters, who are also scheduled to attend a separate BLEXIT event earlier in the day, were invited to attend a “HUGE outdoor rally” by the group and asked to fill out a form that notified them that BLEXIT, a campaign urging Black Americans to leave the Democratic Party, will be covering travel costs.
And now we know why they were all wearing those blue shirts:
Attendees for Saturday’s event were also told, “EVERYONE MUST WEAR A BLEXIT T-SHIRT (Which will be given to you ahead of the event) — no exceptions.”
So, in the end it was a campaign event, two of ’em in fact. I’m not sure if that has to be reported to the FEC or not, but it seems like it should be.
Just one word – blecch’s it.

Doh! I had thought of making an insinuating comment to the first post about attendees being handed $20 bills on their way out when it was over.

Nope,they got the payments upfront, before it began! I guess they heard that LDN is a grifter.
Food, transport, lodging, tee-shirts, those things do have a value even if it wasn’t $20 Ameroes in cash.

And, of course, it was also illegal because it used the WH for a partisan campaign event. Violation of the Hatch Act. But IOKIYAR/T.

BLM gets tear-gassed and shot with rubber bullets. BLEXIT gets paid to attend a campaign event on the Whitehouse lawn. One of these is not like the other.

Excuse me, but aren’t the rethugs the ones that harp on “paid attendees” usually by receiving imaginary pay by the infamous “Soros”, and constantly whimper about “outside agitators”? Seems to me that describes them pretty clearly.
Sucks to be a rethug doesn’t it?

That is always the context in everything that they say/do. One would think that they were vampires the way that they never see themselves.

Oh, yeah, the Democrats are so racist that they elected a black man for president – twice – and over 150 black people to Congress.
