“That there was a craigslist ad” is evidence of absolutely nothing. Let’s review that headline:
- Election commissioner Yup.
- presents evidence Nope.
- that Trump Nope.
- caught Nope.
- paying people to attend rally Yup.
So the somehow more accurate headline reads:
Election commissioner ‘paying people to attend rally’
This article is bullshit propaganda. And before you cry foul, check my comment history. We should all demand accurate journalism about everything, and call it out when it’s bullshit.
Propaganda news articles on Lemmy? shocked Pikachu
There’s pieces of shit on all sides. Of course, pieces of shit would never consider themselves pieces of shit. But being active in smear wars is a good indicator, whether politics, consoles, social issues, etc.
And yet only the “pieces of shit” on one “side” want a theocratic dictatorship that oppresses minorities and queer people.

See?
I see that there is a substantial difference between the two parties, and equating them is, at best, disingenuous.
What two parties? I don’t see a mention of any parties anywhere. Snap out of it. This is what I was just talking about lol
Got it, so more than disingenuous in your case then. Noted.
Lol. This person is out here saying both sides for real. Imagine that.
Here’s what I did: Called out bullshit journalism, and because there’s all sorts of propagandists floating around, made sure to distinguish myself from them.
Here’s what you did: “aLl SiDeS-ed” it like a propagandist would do.
Which is fucking funny, because you couldn’t pay me to be there.
Hey, I have a number… it’s extremely high, but I do have a number.
A rare case where the initial comment’s sentiment and the rebuttal are both completely valid.
Based on Trump’s current finances, he probably couldn’t afford you.
I’m pretty okay with that outcome, but I’m always happy to help him achieve bankruptcy if he wants.
You should run for Congress.
The Trump campaign paid a contractor who then hired a subcontractor, Extra Mile Casting, to provide services at the 16 June 2015 rally where Donald Trump announced he would run for U.S. president.
He’s been using actors since Day One.

This is a non-story btw
Some random person jumped the gun over a Craigslist ad paying someone to advertise their brand at the rally.
If you’re gonna criticize Trump and show how pathetic he is, at the very least don’t make stuff up
He paid people to go to his first presidential run announcement so why change things up?
Escalator doofus with a fake crowd.
so… when he drew in the stick figures for his inauguration… did his checks start bouncing or something?
Wow this is a shitty headline, and the commissioner is an idiot too. A company wants to advertise their brand at the rally, and wants someone to wear their logo there. So it was not “Trump” that paid them (at least we have no evidence to suggest that) and they were paid to advertise rather than just attend. Lets talk about the the real problems Trump, the 34 time felon, actually has.
I’ve read that his announcement for his 2016 run was full of people paid to be there, but I don’t recall where and I can’t substantiate the claim.
