–Not.

Paid fake protesters were bussed in to the anti-Trump protests in Austin, Texas.



They must have spent a lot of Soros money on this operation.



There was a whole string of busses.



It figures.
Everything they do is fake or paid for.

Anti-Trump protestors in Austin today are not as organic as they seem. Here are the busses they came in. #fakeprotests #trump2016 #austin pic.twitter.com/VxhP7t6OUI

J.Christian Adams, on Lou Dobbs tonight, seems to think that these paid anarchists can be traced back to Soros. I hope people that have been harmed by this traveling circus sue his shorts off.

Of course it's all fake. Americans do not protest US elections unless there's voter fraud or illegal alien voting, and even then, we wait for states to clean it up or file lawsuits. Only people from third world banana republicans "protest" elections because they're candidate lost the election.

When you see behavior that defies American behavior, then you know it's not Americans, but foreign influence trying to undermine US elections and threaten our democracy.

George Soros is a naturalized felon.

Protest Bust

Photographs showing a long lines of buses were shared with the untrue claim that they were used to ship paid anti-Trump protesters to Austin

CLAIM: A photograph shows a group of buses that were used to ship in paid anti-Trump protesters to Austin, Texas.

FALSE

EXAMPLE: [Collected via Twitter, November 2016]

ORIGIN:On 10 November 2016, several disreputable web sites such as The Gateway Pundit published articles reporting that paid anti-Trump protesters were shipped into Austin to stage a "fake protest" against Donald Trump. The sole "evidence" for were three photographs dposted to Twitter by user Eric Tucker:

Paid fake protesters were bussed in to the anti-Trump protests in Austin, Texas. They must have spent a lot of Soros money on this operation.There was a whole string of busses.It figures. Everything they do is fake or paid for.

The Gateway Pundit did not see protesters getting on or off the bus, and they offered no proof that any protesters had been paid (by George Soros or anyone else).

The web site published three pictures of buses and then fabricated a story about paid protesters based on the mistaken observations of a sole Twitter user.

Although the above-displayed photographs are real, and protests did take place in Austin on 9 November 2016, these two things were not connected.

According to Austin station KTBC, the buses seen here were lined up outside of the Austin Convention Center, where the Tableau Conference, which had about 11,000 attendees, was taking place:

The charter buses were lined up along 5th Street near Waller in Downtown, the closest point to the rally would've been Congress Avenue which is about a mile away. The protest started on the West Mall on the UT campus about 3 miles away.

Down the street about 1/2 mile is Austin Convention Center. Local businesses in the area said they've seen charter buses at the location prior to the election.Carol Scott-Duke, works in area,

“We are definitely used to events happening around here with buses due to the convention center right over here and there's event centers over here,” she said.

One of those events happening at the time of the charter bus Twitter post at the convention center is the Tableau Convention.Kate Lyons is from Portland, Oregon and was one [of those] attending the convention.

“It's growing every year, five years ago it started with 250 people, now it was 13,000 attendees in person.” She said they have been using charter buses for the event.

“They sold out all the hotels downtown and they ended having to send people to hotels that were outside the radius of the conference and sent buses out to ship people around for that. We saw them from day one which was Monday,” she said.

One Twitter user also reported helping load and unload attendees for the Tableau Conference:



Tucker, the person who initially shared the images, published a blog post explaining that he didn't actually know what the buses were being used for, and that he merely assumed that they were related to the protest since it was the only major event in the area that he was aware of at the time:

On Wednesday a few minutes after 5pm, upon leaving a meeting near downtown Austin, I chanced on a large group of busses parked just east of the I-35 on 5th Street. I snapped a few pictures and was on my way.Later that day, I noticed news reports of protests in downtown and near the University of Texas campus. Having dealt with closed streets and unusual traffic patterns that day toward the south of the downtown (below 8th street) and having seen some pictures of protests that looked more like the south end of downtown than near the capitol, I presumed the busses had something to do with the protests.Casually, I texted a few friends and then made a Twitter post. I post on Twitter just a few times a year, and until yesterday I had about 40 followers.[...]Was I flat wrong? Perhaps!It turns out Tableau was having a massive conference having nothing to do with politics less than a mile away. Could these have been busses for Tableau’s shenanigans? I hope they don’t mind me linking to the schedule from that same day.

Baseless rumors that George Soros, or some high-ranking member of the Democratic party, paid protesters to attend Trump events were circulated throughout the 2016 presidential campaign. As in this case, these rumors typically stem from morsels of truth but offer no actual evidence to support their underlying conspiracy theories.

A tweet by Eric Tucker fueled a nationwide conspiracy theory. He later deleted it, then posted an image of it stamped with the word “false” for posterity.




Fake News Goes Viral: A Case Study


By SAPNA MAHESHWARI 11:39 AM ET

How a misinformed Twitter post the night after the election fueled a nationwide conspiracy theory and became a talking point for a world leader — even as it was being proved false.

So how did all the protesters get there and where did they park?
