Liberal groups deny 'astro turf' charges about anti-Trump protests
By Nicole Duran (@Duranni1) • 2/24/17 12:10 PM
 

A political activist group founded by a former Hillary Clinton staffer is pushing back against GOP claims that the surge in attendance at town halls held by Republican lawmakers is being driven by paid protesters.

"Town Hall Project began with a simple belief: town halls are a vital forum for civic engagement, and a central list of all congressional town halls and other public events would be a valuable resource to all voters," stated the group's chairman, Jimmy Dahman, who was a field organizer for the Clinton campaign.

nd, frankly, if any member of Congress actually believes that these mobilized citizens are not real — and that their concerns are not real — they might find someone else sitting in their chair after Election Day in 2018.
Note that he does not deny that the protesters are from out of town or that they are organized. Instead, he threatens anyone who dares raise the notion.

These protesters are about as "amateur" as the Red Army hockey team of the 1970s and 1980s; that is, on paper, but they're getting compensated somewhere else off the books.
