The Daily Trump Scandal: This time, "The Orange Turd's" campaign appears to have paid people to attend a rally on a scorching day in Las Vegas, NV

We have a new entry in the Trump campaign's Daily Scandal Sweepstakes -- and this time, it appears to involve payments for people to attend Trump's rally over the weekend in Las Vegas. Raw Story's David McAfee provides details under the headline "Election commissioner presents evidence that 'Trump caught paying people to attend rally":

People were apparently paid to attend Donald Trump's rally in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Sunday, according to Tennessee Democratic election commissioner Chris D. Jackson, although it's not clear who did the paying.

Jackson, who criticized Hungary's autocratic leader, Viktor Orbán, for endorsing the ex-president, took to social media over the weekend to draw attention to a Craigslist post appearing to offer payment for attendance at the MAGA event.

"BREAKING: Trump Caught Paying People to Attend Rally," the official reported. "A Craigslist ad has been found offering payment for people to attend Trump's rally in Las Vegas today." 

The commissioner continues, providing more details about the ad and appearing to address Joe Biden supporters:

"Remember the video from a few days ago where Trump was waving at a non-existent crowd? It appears EVERYTHING IS A FACADE. The media wants you to think Trump has enthusiasm, but the facts say otherwise."

He added, "If you are interested in making some money to donate to the Biden campaign, here you go," and linked to the posting.

 I guess they don't want to have another bust like this where 2,500 show up and they claim it was 30,000," Jackson said, referencing Trump' event in the Bronx. "It really is sad."

The posting itself is titled, "Paid to attend Trump rally! (Sunset park)."Here is the exact wording of the ad:

"Looking for someone to attend the Trump rally on Sunday. It would be a marketing promo so we would ask you to wear a shirt of the brand and also carry a sign. Bonus payment ($50) if you end up on broadcast!" the online advertisement states. "Picking up shirts / signs + attending event estimated at a total of 3-4 hours of work. $75 flat payment + $50 potential bonus. We ask that you take photos of the event for confirmation and marketing purposes."

U.S. Senator Mike Lee, a Trump supporter, responded to that posting. "Nice try. So much projection. So little time," he said.

In response to Lee's comment, Jackson repeated his earlier statement about the Trump campaign: "It appears everything is a facade."

Jackson is based in Madison County, TN.
