Epic Fail: Rent-a-Mob Goes Bust!
Kevin McCullough
From the Theater of the Absurd file—and we’re going to need a warehouse at this point—comes a headline so perfectly on-brand for the modern American left, it feels like a Babylon Bee article.
We’ve joked, we’ve mocked, we’ve meme’d about “rent-a-mobs” for years. Turns out, they’re real. And not just a little real. I’m talking $20 million worth of real.
According to Fox News, the CEO of an “advocacy group” admitted on video that he offered another activist $20 million—twenty million actual American dollars—to help recruit protesters for anti-Trump demonstrations. Let me spell that out again slowly for the people in the back: these clowns tried to buy a mob. Not a political movement. Not a grassroots uprising. A literal checkbook-funded temper tantrum.
That’s not outrage on demand. It’s the literal equivalent of buying human bots and followers… in person.
This wasn’t some punk in a dorm room with a megaphone. This was a self-described organization for “social change” trying to buy anger and outrage on demand.
