Craigslist: Actors needed for Trump rally in Phoenix

Is this for real? It was pointed out to me that this was from 2017. I just received it in an email this morning.

Okay, here is a link to a 2017 article about that Craigslist ad. (Thank you oberliner )

I bet he’d stop having rallies if it happened enough with enough protesters.

Do you really think even a Trump campaign staffer, or even sipome dumbfuck Trump supporter, could be stupid enough to post a add like this on Craigslist? This is nonsense. The call to get people out will go through the local party machinery to party faithful, and maybe rightwing mailing lists and blogs.

I believe Alex Jones and others were calling Sandy Hook massacre survivors paid crisis actors. I tell you if republicans are making outlandish comments, look a little closer at what they are doing because they are the ones doing what they accuse others of doing. Disgusting, horrible, inhumane, swamp creatures.
