    I wouldn't be "shocked". That said, if I were in that room and saw such things happening I would have taken a picture or video. Instead we have random guy saying he saw some stuff and went straight to the Gateway Pundit.

    If cell phones were banned from the room I can understand. If not, I find the story to lack credibility.

    Given current events, I wouldn't be shocked that nut jobs are going to the hearing to scream, rant, and virtue signal of their own accord.

    And what does it show? I guy paying someone or a woman paying for food?

    Why do the photos of people being hauled out include neither of those shown in the photograph?

    "Pardon me, ma'am. Would you please provide me with a notarized statement that you are being paid to protest?" :rolleyes:

    My questions were simple. You chose to ignore them and instead threw out something ridiculous.

    Pictures can be easily be given false context. Remember the pictures of children "in cages" at the border which turned out to be completely incorrect? Would you have asked for the same notarized statement as to the activity of the children?

    I haven't taken a side. I've only pointed out that evidence supporting the story is pretty thin.

    No, it was not really ridiculous. You want solid proof. Any photo can be staged, edited, taken out of context. This was backed by a first hand report from the doctor who witnessed these things.

    You yourself stated you would have taken a picture. Yet you would not have believed a picture you took, apparently.

    Whitehouse asks questions he knows the answer to but refuses an explanation for the answer because he admittedly already knows.

    Second link has a photo of the same woman being hauled out. That gives much more credence to the story.

    I'm sorry I'm not as quick to believe a news story. I don't immediately assume a plausible story must be true. Your assumptions are wrong about me and I fail to understand why you seem to have an issue with someone questioning the authenticity of a media source. It's blind faith in media that leads to an ignorant and mislead nation.To riots in Furgeson. And to the belief that children were being locked in dog pens at the border.

    We'd be a better nation if more people questioned news stories regardless of the politics.

    One, there is a first person account recorded on video. Not good enough for you.

    Two, there is a photograph which correlates with the first person account. Not good enough for you.

    Third, there are similar documented instances (screen shots of Craigslist ad about paying protestors to show up for liberal protests) that match the same m.o. Still no credence at all given.

    I would hardly call the above to being equivalent to "blind faith".

    If the above is not enough to lend some credence - again - please answer the question as to what would be enough? I don't know how much more you could want short of that notarized statement.

    1. I don't put a lot of trust in a single first hand account. Not a fan of "listen and believe" in any circumstance although sometimes I can get caught up and slip.

    2. Read the first line of the post you quoted.

    3. Many of those ads in the past were found to be fake. They are possible evidence if verified.I didn't see any in regards to the current story. Maybe I missed them.

    4. Read the first line of the post you quoted.

    To All,

    Fwiw, I've been watching the hearing since 1000 hours, CDT & am "singularly unimpressed" with the apparent IQ of the DIMocRAT Senators who are 100% inept at questioning him.
    MOST of the questions have been, in just one word: STUPID.

    IF the DIMs on that committee are the best that the DP can do for "leaders", they are "in DEEP KIM-CHI" in the mid-term election of 2018, 2020 & in the General Elections to follow.

    just my OPINION, satx

    Still did not answer a simple, direct question. Tells me all I need to know.

    Last word is yours.
