Elevator Protester Admits She Works For Soros-Funded Organization

As media outlets accused the president of spreading a conspiracy about George Soros paying protesters, one protester admitted on MSNBC that she works for a Soros-funded activist group.

President Donald Trump slammed protesters opposed to Supreme Court justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh on Friday, accusing the women who confronted Republican Sen. Jeff Flake of being paid by billionaire liberal activist George Soros. (RELATED: Trump Warns Senators Not To Scare From Soros-Backed Anti-Kavanaugh Activists)

The Daily Beast, Think Progress, and others accused Trump of peddling a conspiracy and expressed disbelief that the anti-Kavanaugh protesters might have been paid by Soros.

One of the two protesters who confronted Flake in the elevator is Ana Maria Archila, an executive director of the Center for Popular Democracy (CPD). The other protester, Maria Gallagher, is an activist with the group. The CPD is indeed heavily funded by George Soros through the Open Society Foundation.

The Center for Popular Democracy's homepage features an image of Archila and Gallagher yelling at Flake and urges supporters to "join" Archila.

During an interview on MSNBC Friday, Archila confirmed that she works for CPD and did not deny Trump's characterization of her efforts.

"Are you a paid professional?" MSNBC anchor Hallie Jackson asked Archila.

"I work for a community organization, I work for a network of community organizations," Archila said, adding that it is her "job" to organize people into action.

"If the president wants to know whether I work for a social justice organization, the answer is yes. And I've worked for a social justice organization since I was 23. That's not news," she asserted.

The Daily Caller News Foundation also reported several weeks ago that Soros-backed activists were giving cash to anti-Kavanaugh protesters who were getting arrested at the judge’s confirmation hearings. (RELATED: Soros-Backed Activists Slip Cash To Anti-Kavanaugh Protesters Before Arrests)

"Left-wing groups funded by George Soros and other major Democratic donors hand out cash to protesters arrested for disrupting Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation hearings, the activists revealed Monday night," TheDCNF reported.

Wish the one who climbed on the statuary in front of the SCOTUS had been knocked off with a beanbag gun...

Look at them. Their mother had to tie a pork chop around their neck to get the dog to play with them.

That's great :)

And then Gallagher.

“I was sexually assaulted and nobody believed me. I didn’t tell anyone, and you’re telling all women that they don’t matter, that they should just stay quiet because if they tell you what happened to them you are going to ignore them,’” she shouted. “That’s what happened to me, and that’s what you are telling all women in America, that they don’t matter.”

No one believed her, but She didn’t tell anyone.
What is going on with these women ?

Another thing, many of these women are making Kavamaugh a representation of their assault. He is not. He has nothing to do with whoever hurting them.

Sorry to say it ,but, most of these so called women look terrible. Not a one looks desirable. No one I know would have a relationship with any of them, so; any sexual assault on any of them is their fantasy. SAD.
