The Craigslist ads read: "STOP TRUMP – up to $1500/week. Hiring immediately! Call Today Start tomorrow! $15-$18 hourly rate + bonus + overtime up to 77 hours per week!"
They were placed by a Planned Parenthood affiliate in major cities like Boston, Denver, Columbus, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh
right before the election to defeat the candidacy of Donald Trump. However,
most of them are still active on Craigslist, fueling questions about whether the group is now among those
feeding the post-election anti-Trump protests across the country.
Many of the ads have Planned Parenthood Action, a PAC, emblazoned across the top and all of them list phone numbers belonging to the Community Outreach Group, a for-profit organization formed by Planned Parenthood as "a vendor of large-scale advocacy."
Protesting is among the tasks listed on its website.
MoveOn.org and others
already have been linked to the demonstrations. Protesters have been out on the streets since Wednesday and have been mostly peaceful. However, in some instances – like in the city of Portland – police used flash bombs last week to quell an angry mob that lit fires and smashed cars and store windows with bats. One protester was shot by a civilian.
Planned Parenthood and Community Outreach Group have not returned phone calls seeking comment.
Planned Parenthood, which received $553.7 million in tax dollars last year, had pledged to spend $30 million to defeat Trump, according to Rolling Stone. The money allegedly came from its super PAC, which "jointly" worked on the ground war, the magazine said....
...Another group, Washington Community Action Network, posted a Seattle ad five days ago on Craigslist offering $15 an hour. Participants at a recent protest told Fox News that they were recruited by the ad.
As for the end-goal, detractors say on MoveOn.org's Facebook page that they are seeking to undo the Electoral College system.
Additional Craigslist postings claim the chaos will result in Trump's impeachment as protesters urge each other to get involved in additional demonstrations.
But for every ad bashing the president-elect, other commenters have come to his defense....
