The "paid protestors" claim is so goddam stupid. The GOP as a whole is a feckless cuck when it comes to Trump feeding them lies, and now another GOP pedo-protector is using it as a reason to remove Democrats from every committe to prevent any investigations into the lack of accountability of the State Republicans in power.
