DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin: "We're gonna keep our men and women safe. If we have to pull them from the airport, we will. Let's use Delaney Hall for example -- these aren't protesters, let's be very clear about this. These are paid rioters."

SUCH LIES. The people who want to pay J6'ers $1.776 billion are crying about "paid rioters" They just keep admitting stuff. The "Bothsidesism" is wrecking everything. They believe that if they are paying rioters then the other side must me also.

This is why it is pointless to take options off the table because people worry it might give the admin a pretext to do something bad. They’re getting away with bad things already. They don’t need a pretext—they’ll just make stuff up.

Once again the right and the GOP project their own tactics. They pay protesters and rioters. Ergo, so must the left. It is inconceivable to them that people care about anything unselfishly.

At some point state and local governments are going to have to start taking the safety of their citizens against federal brutality seriously, otherwise citizens are going to band together do so themselves.

The journalists need to ask who is paying them. Name the person or entity who is paying the protestors. If they're being paid, the government will want to ensure that it's declared to the IRS. Also, it's probably illegal to do that, so Trump will want to prosecute whoever it is

If there are protesters ('rioters') in the city, he intends to pull customs inspectors (CBP) from the airport in that city to help with crowd control. It's not an attempt to coerce cities by crippling international travel, or to pressure police to be harder on protesters. Not at all...

Let’s be very very clear about this. Only drumpf hires rioters. These are protesters and patriots who are angry about what drumpf and the gop are doing to this country. No one is paying them and they don’t need to be paid to show up for democracy (unlike MAGAts). GFY plumber bitch!

You’d think of all these claims of “paid protesters,” after all this time, there would be ONE PHOTO somewhere showing a check or a receipt or something of someone actually being paid. Why the fuck does nobody ever call these assholes out on this?

Who is paying? Please sign me up. Even if they’re paid, they could potentionally be shot and run over by the agents who has full immunity to do whatever the hell they want. I say paid or not that’s freaking couragous and heroic. Of course they’re not paid you lying asshat.

The "paid dissent" line is such a bald-faced and over-used piece of fascist propaganda. Do they believe it themselves? Is this a way of dismissing the possibility of actual rejection as a way to protect their fragile overinflated egos?

They are openly trying to incite violence and escalate tensions against anyone who protests them and their extremism, and they're using the Fox propaganda network to do it.

It worked for Trump. If reporters demanded evidence from Markwayne he'd probably challenge them to a fight. (or hide behind a chair...)

Agree. Asshole is far too tame. What about, a hyperthundercunt so detached from reality, that real world consequences, like the screams of non-white children as they are burnt out of their homes in Belfast, become abstract to him. He should be forced to listen to hours of victims impact statements

I don’t recall seeing any “riots” outside Delaney Hall. I do clearly remember seeing law enforcement officers beating and arresting peaceful protestors.

I would still really like to know how I get one of these paid protestor jobs! When I've protested I've spent my own time and money to do so. Like where do I apply? Monster? Sketchy craiglist ad? Where? Sign me up!
