There have often been rumors of liberal protesters getting paid to protest conservative events. Sorry, “rumors.”

On day one of Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s Senate confirmation hearings to be appointed to the Supreme Court, protesters lost their minds. At least 17 were arrested, including noted Democrat activist Linda Sarsour.

The Democratic senators who protested with interruptions and bloviating screeds against the proceedings had clearly made their preparations in advance.

But then there were the aspiring impromptu “protesters” encountered by three doctors visiting from Texas. The doctors, who stood in line with them outside, told interviewer Adam Schindler that they witnessed organized activists with a literal bag of cash paying the rent-a-mob to shriek, act out, and disrupt the hearing.

Transcript of the video from Real Clear Politics:

TOM SCHLUETER, TEXAS: Hello, I’m Dr. Tom Schlueter from Texas, we came here to participate in the hearings, to get in the line. They told us to be here at 8:00, 8:30 at the latest, to get in line to go inside and hear the hearings. We got here at about 8:15 and there was already 100 people in line, and most of them would be probably classified by me as ‘opposing everything going on with Judge Kavanaugh,’ and so we began to see a process of things unfolding as we were standing in line that kept the line from going ahead.

One thing was there were people who had come along… who had a bag of money, and people would hand them a piece of paper, and then they would give them money. So we know money was exchanged for some of the people to be here, just to protest.

There was no depth to what their understanding, they were just here to be a disruption, protesters. They were actually told, we heard them say this, ‘when you go in, we want you to yell, to scream, and even possibly to get arrested.’ So that was some of the processes we saw happening…

Here’s a photo of a cash transaction:

Linda Sarsour, Women’s March organizer, was seen hanging with the activist recruiters outside.

Does anybody have any thoughts on this? Kind of a big deal, isn’t it?

Where’s the media?

Why isn’t this a bigger story?
