Request for "seat fillers" at Trump's military parade comes under scrutiny
A Craigslist ad which appears to be fake called for seat fillers at the parade for "maximum perception control".

An advert on Craigslist that called for "seat fillers" to attend President Donald Trump's birthday military parade on Saturday has drawn suspicion, with many observers calling it fake.
The post, which called for bodies to pack the stands at Trump's event, said that it wanted "maximum perception control", and promised to pay responders in cryptocurrency for their work.
Newsweek has contacted Craigslist for more information on the post via email.
The Context
Trump has said that the White House will be hosting a military parade on Saturday, to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army's founding during the American Revolutionary War, which is also the president's birthday. The parade will take place on Constitution Avenue, with seating along the side of the National Mall for viewers to see.Oh my gosh! Looking for a Bigly crowd are we? This is so funny. I think many protesters will answer the ad and fill the seats with signs and banners protesting trump's birthday parade.
