ASTROTURF: Company That Provides Paid Protesters Reports 400 Percent Increase as Trump Cracks Down on DC Crime
There have been quite a few protests in Washington, DC since Trump announced that he was going to crack down on crime in the city, but it’s hard to know if any of it is real or not.
A company that provides protesters for a price is reporting a 400 percent increase in demand.
Of course, the liberal media has been all to happy to report on the protests as if they’re completely organic.
FOX News reports:
DC paid protester requests surge 400% amid Trump’s federal takeover of city police: crowd company
A crowd rental company has seen a massive uptick in inquiries regarding its services in Washington, D.C., amid President Donald Trump’s move to federalize the police force in the nation’s capital.
“Right now, D.C. inquiries are up roughly 400% compared to the same period in 2024,” Crowds on Demand CEO Adam Swart told Fox News Digital, adding that the time period he is referencing is May to July 2024.
The company always sees a spike in requests during what Swart calls “high-stakes political moments.”
“A large share are focused on opposing Trump’s policies in Washington and raising alarms about government overreach,” Swart said. “We’re weighing those offers carefully – because while there’s truth in saying D.C.’s local government has been an abject failure in keeping citizens safe, there’s also a real danger in putting too much power in federal hands. That balance of power matters.”
Swart said the “vast majority” of people at political or advocacy events in D.C. are in some way paid.
“Most people don’t know this, but many protesters are literally on the payroll – Capitol Hill staffers from both parties are often expected to show up at rallies and protests on their own time,” he said. “So yes, most attendees are being paid or are there because it’s part of their job. That doesn’t mean they don’t support the cause – but it does mean these crowds aren’t as ‘organic’ as they appear on TV.”
Is anyone surprised by this?

Is this why left wing protesters always seem to have the same professionally made signs?
