So Republicans are waxing enthusiastically about their new mid-term election meme - - the mob...fake, paid protesters!! - - which is actually just a variation on their decades-old Red Scare/outside-agitators propaganda - - and will pay no attention to fact-checking that shows there's nothing to the allegation.
I hope this ugly GOP variant sends more women to the polls to vote against Trump and his allies for adding to their mocking degradation of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford this fresh, smug dismissiveness for having come forward in the #MeToo movement.
By the way, when Trump talks about 'the mob,' does he mean The Russian Mob or the guys who are said to hang around New York City construction sites or Atlantic City casinos?
And I also recall that it was our incumbent Governor seemed to know something about planting protesters in a crowd.
Remember the prankster Ian Murphy posing as David Koch and suggested tp Walker he secretly insert some provocateurs among Act 10 demonstrators to discredit that movement:
We have only Walker's words suggesting that he didn't approve the plan.
Who knows, and by the way, we never found out who was included in "we thought about that..."

Murphy: Well, we’ll back you any way we can. But, uh, what we were thinking about the crowds was, uh, was planting some troublemakers.
Walker: You know, the, well, the only problem with that — because we thought about that.... My only fear would be is if there was a ruckus caused is that that would scare the public into thinking maybe the governor has gotta settle to avoid all these problems.In other words, Walker could foresee only political problems with such a move, but nothing negative from an ethical or legal perspective.
We have only Walker's words suggesting that he didn't approve the plan.
