GOP donors pay to bus protesters to cities to demand governors ease restrictions: report
Published 1 hour ago on April 24, 2020By Igor Derysh, Salon

Major Republican donors are paying staffers to organize anti-lockdown protests, with plans to bus demonstrators to big cities to demand governors to let their businesses re-open and send their employees back to work.

President Donald Trump has so far praised protesters, saying the demonstrations show Americans want to go back to work.

"Look, people – they want to get back to work,” Trump said Tuesday. “They got to make a living. They have to take care of their family."

place they're headed, and continue while they're protesting. In the next several days they can cry on each others shoulders while they suffer from the virus.

Brooks Brothers, Tea Baggers, even Trump's 2015 crowd the day he rode down the escalator.

When they do gather on their own, for instance, to protest against the tens of thousands of anti-war protesters, they had more people protecting their porta potties! We've got the pictures (and fun threads) somewhere here on the DU to prove it!
