First, the funny part. A pro-illegal alien protester in Asheville, North Carolina, was being interviewed by a local TV news reporter. She said and spelled out her name on air. Then said she was wearing a mask to protect her identity.

Yep, they're not sending their brightest. Then, X sleuth extraordinaire DataRepublican did some quick research. Wham! Bam! Yep, the masked fool is a paid protester.
Matt Van Swol (@matt_vanswol) ~ An Asheville NC woman who shows up to an anti-ICE protest wearing a mask, spells her FULL NAME LIVE ON THE NEWS ... then is asked why she is wearing a mask.
She responds, "it's a protective measure against fascism..."
You are kidding me! 🤣🤣🤣

DataRepublican (small r) (@DataRepublican) ~ She works for a NGO called Community Action Opportunities.

Spitfire (@DogRightGirl) ~ Thank God she wore a mask! 😂😂

It may have covered her big mouth, but it didn’t stop her ignorance from spilling out of it.
Commenters say this revelation confirms what they already knew about ‘protesters’ all along. They’re not surprised that we’re paying for it, either.
Matt Van Swol (@matt_vanswol) ~ Taxpayer's are giving that NGO nearly $30 million ... WOW.

KrisNVnmiP (@SophieMae1022) ~ {Replying to @DataRepublican} "Full time." These people are literally being paid 40+hrs a week to protest.
DataRepublican (small r) (@DataRepublican) ~ {Replying to @SophieMae1022} Not exactly, but it’s in her employer’s interest to let them go protest to keep their financing.
Democrats want our money to continue propping up their agitators.
Posters say this answers another big question about why protest crowds are so large in the middle of the workday.
Matt Rellew (@MRellew) ~ So that's how all these people have time to protest ... it's their job.
USALover (@USALover2025) ~ Of course she does. I'd like to ask her if she would still do this if there was no paycheck involved.
James Hatfield (@_jameshatfield_) ~ Her job is to get benefits for illegal immigrants. Healthcare, education, EBT/Snap, housing, etc.
Tim - Decentralize and nullify (@Tim_The_Sandman) ~ Hey, @HouseGOP, @SenateGOP - can we finally defund every last NGO already? How much longer must taxpayers tolerate our own money being used against our own interests?
Nate k (@thenate36) ~ Nothing about these protests and riots is organic. They are organized, coordinated, and funded.
We’re sure there are some true believers in the crowds, but it’s safe to say many of these ‘protesters’ are from a variety of NGOs and are paid to be there to push the Democrat Party’s agenda. We’re sure more will be unmasked despite the masks staying on their faces.
