FULL TITLE: Trump claims anti-Kavanaugh protesters are 'paid professionals with expensive signs' as he doubles down on his backing for SCOTUS pick hours before crunch vote
Just hours before the vote over Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, President Donald Trump tweeted his support for the embattled judge and repeated his belief that protesters are 'paid professionals'.
The tweet, which appeared to be a message directed at senators, stated that there are women who support Kavanaugh and that they're not 'paid professional protesters'.
'Women for Kavanaugh, and many others who support this very good man, are gathering all over Capitol Hill in preparation for a 3-5 P.M. VOTE,' the President wrote.
'It is a beautiful thing to see - and they are not paid professional protesters who are handed expensive signs. Big day for America!'
Media reports and videos indicted that the people heading towards and gathering at Capitol Hill and outside the Supreme Court are actually Kavanaugh demonstrators, however.
Protesters who swarmed the Capitol Hill building steps were arrested by police trying to clear the steps before the vote began. The demonstrators were seen raising their fists in solidarity as they were walked down the steps and then handcuffed with zip-tie restraints. A snaking line of women and men who had been arrested could be seen as they waited patiently before being taken away from the Capitol.

huh?
Yea I know was English reporter writing this. I figure that is the Queens English or something.
From everything I’ve read and pictures I’ve seen today, there are NOT very many people protesting, paid or otherwise.
A few hundred gathered here and there...about the size of a Hillary! Rally.
*SNORT*
I really enjoyed the protesters who had their mouths covered with black tape.
I'm not sure if the “News” was making fun of them or with them.......smh
Of course they are paid protesters. If they were real communist protesters, they would probably be physically fighting the cops.
Actually many get paid extra if they get arrested.
Not at all surprising.
I have been to a fair number of demonstrations, and have noticed the stark difference in the way participants on both sides express themselves through both in-demonstration behavior, and the signs carried to express their point of view.
I took the time to document it a couple of years ago as shown below. I took two pictures, one showing a large gathering of liberals, and one showing a large gathering of conservatives.
Here is an example of what the liberal protesters carry when they want to make a point. This analysis was from the Antiwar protesters at The Gathering of Eagles on March 17, 2007. What you see in this picture is absolutely, 100% TYPICAL.
Here is an example of what the conservative protesters carry when THEY want to make a point. This analysis was from the Taxpayer March on Washington on 9/12/2009. What you see in this picture is absolutely, 100% TYPICAL.
Conservatives not only show wit and originality in the content of the materials they use to express themselves, but also spend time making them both readable and legible. They take pride in their handiwork, and they can do this because they have a deeper understanding of the issue at hand.
Liberals often have mass printed signs that lack originality and wit in an attempt to ensure everyone has a sign (created by someone else) that says something that the "someone else" want them to express. When you see liberals carrying their own handmade signs, they often look like this, poorly lettered and shallow in content:
I have seen this contrast over and over again. What I have concluded from this is that while liberals may have some form of conviction about a subject, it is because they want to believe something they have been told without thinking it through. Most of them have an "understanding" of an issue that is a foot wide and a fraction of an inch deep. They will doggedly stay within that framework regardless of facts and logic, and their expression of that viewpoint in their signs and banners illustrates a lack of depth, understanding and originality.
That line (from the Fake News divisions of ABCNNBCBS national socialist-mass-media) is proven false by the photo's in the article itself!
NO pro-Kananaugh protesters shown at all! A few hand-made signs (cleverly emphasized!) and many dozen professionally made signs, banners and t-Shirts!
Black Lives Matters got $130 million from various sources last year, Soros Open Society Foundations, the Ford Foundation, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and it is reasonable to ask why an organization like that needs that kind of money.
That money, like the anti-Kavanaugh money fed into the Leftist systems, is used to buy signs, busses, protest permits lunches, pocket money, etc.
This isn’t news to us, but most Americans probably don’t get it.
What is incredible is Trump’s persuasive abilities - he uses a phrase like “expensive signs” and instantly everyone knows what he means. Regardless of educational level or political experience, when the image of some professional organizer handing out signs to protesters pops into your mind, you understand what’s going on.
As Conan the Barbarian was asked, What is good in life?”.
One indication that a “protest” is largely a paid, staged event is the speed with which it evaporates once the cause is lost. In real, spontaneous or passion-driven protests, the loss of the battle doesn’t extinguish the flames.
But in paid, fake protests there is no passion, and the only reason for the protest is to attempt to influence the outcome of a process. Once the outcome is determined, there’s no motive or energy for protest, and it vanishes.
So it's a conspiracy to waste police resources. Can we just send Soros the bill that he wants the taxpayers to pick up?
I’m sick of these commies and the media complex.
Hopefully the debt will bring about secession as their evil empire collapses. Expel them now
I grew up here in the center of this crap ... Can’t imagine what middle America goes thru watching these freaks
I think the key thing is...he speaks like we would speak! When a leftist is being a slimy weasel, he will actually call them a slimy weasel!
We may never see someone in the White House like him again.
Will Soros pay overtime,LOL
Study the pictures of the people protesting and compare them to the pictures of the people at the Trump rallies. The people protesting look miserable and sad, while the people at the Trump rallies look like happy people, full of joy.
