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.
The very rude elevator screamers are paid professionals only looking to make Senators look bad. Don't fall for it! Also, look at all of the professionally made identical signs. Paid for by Soros and others. These are not signs made in the basement from love! #Troublemakers

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.
Wow, she just admitted that she's never had real job in her life. How pathetic.
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.
"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.
FACT CHECK: President Trump = Correct; FAKE NEWS = Liars.
