Kamala Harris did not hire actors to attend her speeches - unlike Drumpf

 Drumpf really did have "hired actors" attend his first 2016 "launch" of his presidential run. So not surprisingly Drumpf accused Kamala Harris of what Drumpf did - yet people due to patriarchy believe Drumpf.

  Harris’ rally, during which she appeared with her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, was not held at the Phoenix Convention Center; it was at the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona, 18 miles from the convention center.

Tuesday was made a little bigger with help from paid actors — at $50 a pop.

New York-based Extra Mile Casting sent an email last Friday to its client list of background actors, seeking extras to beef up attendance at Trump’s event.

“We are looking to cast people for the event to wear t-shirts and carry signs and help cheer him in support of his announcement,” reads the June 12 email, obtained by The Hollywood Reporter. “We understand this is not a traditional ‘background job,’ but we believe acting comes in all forms and this is inclusive of that school of thought.” (Read the full email at the bottom of the post.)

 Soon after Trump announced he’d be running for president, The Hollywood Reporter wrote that Extra Mile, a casting agency, had hired actors to fill out his announcement event. Though Trump’s team denied this, a document released Thursday by the Federal Election Commission proves otherwise. The document shows that the FEC dismissed the allegation filed by activist group American Democracy Legal Fund, which alleged that Trump’s team had violated reporting laws related to payments for the actors. According to Slate, “The FEC concluded that no significant violation had occurred because the campaign later disclosed a payment to a contractor (Gotham Government Relations) that subcontracted with Extra Mile.”
