As media outlets accused the president of spreading a conspiracy about George Soros paying protesters, one protester admitted on MSNBC that she works for a Soros-funded activist group.

President Donald Trump slammed protesters opposed to Supreme Court justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh on Friday, accusing the women who confronted Republican Sen. Jeff Flake of being paid by billionaire liberal activist George Soros. (RELATED: Trump Warns Senators Not To Scare From Soros-Backed Anti-Kavanaugh Activists)

The Daily Beast, Think Progress, and others accused Trump of peddling a conspiracy and expressed disbelief that the anti-Kavanaugh protesters might have been paid by Soros.

One of the two protesters who confronted Flake in the elevator is Ana Maria Archila, an executive director of the Center for Popular Democracy (CPD). The other protester, Maria Gallagher, is an activist with the group. The CPD is indeed heavily funded by George Soros through the Open Society Foundation.

The Center for Popular Democracy's homepage features an image of Archila and Gallagher yelling at Flake and urges supporters to "join" Archila.

During an interview on MSNBC Friday, Archila confirmed that she works for CPD and did not deny Trump's characterization of her efforts.

"Are you a paid professional?" MSNBC anchor Hallie Jackson asked Archila.

"I work for a community organization, I work for a network of community organizations," Archila said, adding that it is her "job" to organize people into action.

"If the president wants to know whether I work for a social justice organization, the answer is yes. And I've worked for a social justice organization since I was 23. That's not news," she asserted.

The Daily Caller News Foundation also reported several weeks ago that Soros-backed activists were giving cash to anti-Kavanaugh protesters who were getting arrested at the judge’s confirmation hearings. (RELATED: Soros-Backed Activists Slip Cash To Anti-Kavanaugh Protesters Before Arrests)

"Left-wing groups funded by George Soros and other major Democratic donors hand out cash to protesters arrested for disrupting Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation hearings, the activists revealed Monday night," TheDCNF reported.

It’s news to the NYTimes.

[ReleaseTheHounds]

Lock ‘em all up!!!

[Reily]

Again why hasn’t Soros been extradited?
He wad convicted of securities fraud in France in 2011!
Several other countries want to try him & his organization for financial crimes in their countries. Why isn’t he being extradited?

[neverevergiveup]

These people have no idea what social justice really is or means. She’s a paid propagandist.

[neverevergiveup]

In return for shady business dealings that have hurt many people, Soros gets to assuage his narcissism and use this money (well, part of it) to try to shape the world to his liking. That should not be tolerated.

She is also an illegal alien from Columbia. Deport her NOW!

[Chewbarkah]

Did she falsely claim sexual assault as a way to get refuge status and stay in America, while being paid via a foreigner* to meddle in US politics?

For reasons no doubt related to money, Soros holds US citizenship. That should be revoked immediately.

World’s worst actress. Her fake tears were hilarious.

[Jack Hammer]

He’s an evil influence.

[Maudeen]

So what does Flake say about this? He probably knew about it all along.

[ETCM]

"If the president wants to know whether I work for a social justice organization, the answer is yes...."

Um, the POTUS doesn't "want to know", he already knew and tweeted it as fact. Only the "believe women" idiots doubted him.

Re: all these FR threads we keep seeing with titles like "[____] new jobs to be created by company [_______] in the city & state of [______, __]" --- and of course we naturally give at least partial credit if not the entire credit to our President?

Well, shouldn't we also be announcing things like, "4000 new Astroturf-Activist-Faketivist jobs being created by George Soros in the DC area!" And crediting PDJT, since Soros feels he's being forced by the long string of PDJT's never-ending Wins to create all these new jobs?

imho Soros is code for taxpayer funded

[novemberslady]

There is something wrong with people who waste so many dollars in unsuccessful attempts like this.

Do they have nothing worthwhile going on personally?
Will no one play a board game with them?

[KyCats]

And in addition to all that, every time a conservative makes a statement of indisputable fact, the media immediately jump in to say they’re wrong or lying.

[TigersEye]

I’m just happy that they waste money that might otherwise go to efforts that could succeed.
