‘Disgusting’: Same professional protester allegedly found at nearly 100 different protests

By Joe Kovacs

A video purportedly exposing a “professional protester” at nearly 100 different protests is going viral with more than 7 million views in a single day on Sunday.

The clip by independent journalist Nate Friedman was shared by Elon Musk, and begins with Friedman interviewing a woman at a protest who says, “Right now, I’m representing myself and I’m representing the folks at Rise and Resist.”

Friedman asks her: “How much do they pay you to wear this vest?”

“Absolutely nothing,” she responds.
