When federal troops moved into Washington, D.C., last week to impose law and order on the crime-ridden streets, they met with protesters telling them to go home.
“Get off our streets. Why are you here? You're trying to arrest innocent people. What's your purpose? What's the motive? Why won't you show your face?” were just some of the questions and taunts they faced.
One might ask, who would protest on behalf of criminals? The answer is probably not the residents of D.C. The protesters may be paid, left-wing agitators. He won't comment on specifically who is paying for his services, but Swart tells Fox and Friends he's been awfully busy this year.
“So we tend to be hired by the opposition party, right? So, in the sense of right now we are getting more requests on the federal level from Democrats, as you would imagine.”
Swart says he gets as many requests from conservative activists when Democrats are in power, but time and again we see that the protests kind of melt away when Democrats are in power. Antifa and BLM were nowhere to be found during the Biden administration. And even Swart says protests are not an indication of the popularity or validity of a political point of view.
“I think there are a lot of people who falsely view it as a plebiscite. If there's 300 people on one side of an issue and 50 on the other, people say, 'oh well, six to one they're in favor.' Well, the fact that it’s a protest, it's more like buying an ad on Fox News,” he said.
