The CEO of a "publicity" firm specializing in paying dregs and skels to come out to "protest" says he turned down an offer of $20 million to provide fake supporters for an event. He won't name the people who approached him.
He says he turned down the offer because... leftwing mobs keep turning violent.
During an interview on NewsNation, Adam Swart, CEO of Crowds on Demand, told the host that the people behind the planned "Good Trouble Lives On" protests scheduled for Thursday tried to enlist his services to bolster the size of the demonstration.

The CEO clarified that "the value of the contract [$20 million] would have been worth around that amount nationwide to organize huge demonstrations around the country."
However, Swart said he declined because he didn't believe it would be effective. "I'm not trying to call myself virtuous for rejecting it," he explained. "What I'm saying is I'm saying I'm rejecting it not because I don't want to take the business, but because, frankly, this is going to be ineffective. It's going to make us all look bad."
Swart would not divulge the identities of the people who approached him. The interviewer noted that Swart also "had some concern about violence based on what he's seen in the past."
If you're wondering, Was this guy involved in hiring fake crowds for the No Kings "protest," the answer is, allegedly yes:
Crowds on Demand came under fire from supporters of President Donald Trump for allegedly supplying paid protesters for the anti-ICE and "No Kings" protests that cropped up across the nation. Demonstrators protested against the White Houses immigration policies.

I keep thinking we have to allow lawsuits against protest organizers and funders for any damage or carnage they cause. I can't fully commit to that because I know it will be abused to go after the right -- see the years-long prosecution of Trump for telling people to go to the Capitol to protest "peacefully" -- but it may be a bad idea whose time has come.
And we need to seize this motherf***er's estates and exile him.
Socialist Zohran Mamdani has declared billionaires shouldn't exist, but it's unlikely he'd be the front-runner to become the Big Apple's next mayor if it wasn't for one -- far-left kingmaker George Soros, financial records reviewed by The Post show.
Mamdani recently told NBC News' "Meet the Press, "I don't think that we should have billionaires, frankly" while doubling down on his plan to jack up property taxes on "richer and whiter neighborhoods" if elected mayor.
But in less than a decade, Soros' ultra-woke grant-making network Open Society Foundation has indirectly funneled a combined $37 million to the Working Families Party and at least other nine left-wing groups whose endorsements and get-out-the-vote groundwork played a pivotal role in helping Mamdani upset ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic mayoral primary, the foundation's records show.
Since 2016, the far-left, socialist-friendly WFP -- which helped score Mandani the Democratic line by brokering cross-endorsement deals that squeezed out Cuomo -- has pocketed a staggering $23.7 million from Soros through its nonprofit fundraising arm Working Families Organization Inc.
And at least another $13,944,005 went to the nine nonprofits and their offshoot fundraising entities -- including the Make The Road Action ($3,515,00), and social justice nonprofits Community Voices Heard ($2,635,000) and Move On ($2.3 million), and the anti-Zionist group Jewish Voice for Peace Acton ($650,000), according to records.
Here's a post about what the author calls the "quiet money" paying for this communist's campaign. It's not exactly secret money, but it is shuffled through several sub-grantees so that most aren't aware that, gee whiz, it's coming from the nihilistic world-destroying communist George Soros. Just like Anthony Fauci's grants were laundered through grantees and then sub-grantees before paying the Chinese to create a bioweapon that shut down the world for one politically-critical year.
Not secret, per se -- but quiet.
