Many progressives are getting a good chuckle out of the allegation that the folks who took part in the “No Kings” rally were paid to participate.  The woman with the sign at left sure has a smile on her face.

Even professional comedians are getting in on the act.  Here’s the New Yorker’s Andy Borowitz from The Borowitz Report:

George Soros has been forced to declare bankruptcy after paying over seven million people to attend the No Kings protests, the billionaire confirmed on Monday.

“When I agreed to pay everyone who showed up at these things, I had no idea so many people were going to accept my offer,” Soros admitted. “But a deal’s a deal.”

The legendary investor said that paying No Kings participants had required him to liquidate his most prized holdings, including his share in the orbital lasers operated by the Rothschild banking family.

Soros revealed that paying the five million Antifa members at the rallies cost him “a pretty penny,” adding, “They may be anarchists, but they don’t work for free.”
