Craigslist ad offers protesters $15 to crash Trump rally

A Craigslist ad by supporters of Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders’ Wisconsin campaign team is offering individuals $15 an hour to protest at Donald Trump’s Janesville rally Tuesday.

The undisclosed sponsor of the ad, which has since been removed from the free advertising website, is asking for protesters who can attend the GOP front-runner’s pre-rally and main event.

Attendees will be compensated for four hours of service at more than double the state’s minimum wage of $7.25.

“We are offering this amount because of the current income inequality that we are fighting in America today!” the ad reads.

The protest’s organizers said they will supply helpers with signs and even shuttle them to the event.

A Trump rally in Chicago on March 12 was cancelled after hundreds of protesters infiltrated the event. Sanders’ campaign team said it did not instruct its supporters to crash the candidate’s rally.
