CNN reported on the paid place-holding phenomenon back in 2009, noting that line-standers could earn $11 to $35 per hour..

Good work if you can get it!..................

But an aide set her straight, explaining how “lobbyists pay the homeless + others to hold their place so they can get in 1st.” ...

Sounds like homeless people who are willing to work.

Or are we just supposed to give them money for nothing?

Paying homeless people?

But every liberal activist group does that.

Also bus them across state lines and use fake names and identities to vote.

You mean those same protesters that Cortez organized against Pelosi for her green initiative?

How about those same paid protesters that showed up for the Cavanaugh hearings?

She’s projecting.

I will stick to my ‘original’ analysis from a couple of days ago.
(I AM NOT in her corner)

She has done MORE in 6 weeks as a Congresscritter than BO did in his entire Senatorial ‘career’.

AND she provides US with a ‘laff-a-minute’, her and two others of her ilk are giving NP nightmares.

If the Libs had ANY sense they would take the AOC crowd and have them run (and win) as Rs....

Sort of like how they foisted D Duke into our camp.

This reminds me of going to a PGA golf tournament a few years back. There was one green I had hoped to get in the front row and when I went to see the green all these college age kids were sitting there. I told them it would be a couple of hours before a golfer arrived. They were paid by corporations to hold those spaces. The free enterprise system at work.

Yes, and I think AMY paid Stuart to deliver a message back to SC

First thing I’ve agreed with AOC on, so far.
