Tucker Carlson attempts to punk while being punked by fake protestor - hilarious

Article

Hilarious!

“This is a sham, your company isn’t real, your website is fake, the claims you have made are lies, this is a hoax,” Carlson said. “Let me start at the beginning, however, with your name, Dom Tullipso, which is not your real name. It’s a fake name, we ran you through law enforcement-level background checks and that name does not exist. So let’s start out with the truth. Tell me what your real name is.”

The man said, “It’s Dominic Tullipso, the Ls are silent.”

“That’s a lie,” Carlson responded. “And you know it’s a lie.”

Demand Protest describes itself as the largest grassroots support organizations in the United States and Carlson originally invited the man on his show to discuss inauguration protests, but it seems that when Carlson realized the group was fake, he let the man come on his show anyway to make a point. What Carlson was not expected was the Academy Award-level acting that would ensue.

The man known as Tullipso never cracked a smile and stayed in character the entire time, saying gems such as, “We are greatly, greatly supportive of national treasures such as Julian Assange, Edward Snowden, and Peyton Manning” and “We shifted from being against Trump to Trump about 30 minutes ago.”

is the site which offers a $2500/month "retainer" for protesters, with a $50 payment for each protest attended. Plus they offer a great benefits package, including vision and dental coverage. I love this guy.

I hope to god this was what Rush Limbaugh was referring to when he bloviated about protesters being paid.

Group think this is legit... And since no one can prove that the group's organizers are NOT liberals, this means that they ARE liberals. They're IDIOTS!

that the website for Demand Protest does not stipulate which end of the political spectrum they want protesters for. And at $2500/month plus excellent benefits, why wouldn't everyone sign up? That's $30,000/year for just signing up with DP, plus dental!!! You don't even have to protest to get paid.

4. And speaking of fake protestors

I love the fake news circulating in the alternate reality universe, that Saturday's protesters are being paid $1,500 - $2,000 to protest.

First of all, I can tell you that I haven't received my payment, so if there's a complaints box somewhere, I need to submit mine.

Second of all, you RW morons, do the math - there are machines that do this for you, so you don't need pen and paper.

If there are 200,000 protesters, and they are each paid $2,000, how much money is being spent for this protest?

That's $400,000,00. Or, in simpler terms, $400 million. Or, even simpler, 400 million dollars.


Don't you think that if "someone" had $400 million to spend on a protest, they would have spent it on Hillary's campaign so that we could have avoided what is going to be something akin to the apocalypse?

But, no, you keep on thinking it's all fake. And y'all keep thinking that when you lose your health care and the factory jobs don't come back.

This guy went Kaufman on Faux News and made the site just to get some attention. The Peyton Manning take finally makes dear Tucker understand that he's getting trolled hard.

Remember, alt-right says that all the protesters are paid and that's the angle this guy went with to hook Faux News. Genius.
