‘Who Is Cutting The Check?’: Lawrence Jones Presses Rent-A-Mob Company CEO Over Protests

“Fox and Friends” co-host Lawrence Jones verbally brawled with Crowds on Demand CEO Adam Swart on Friday over who was paying him to provide crowds for protests.

Protests have taken place, including the “No Kings” protests in multiple cities across the U.S. on July 4, with some of them turning violent, including one in Portland, Oregon, where rioters stormed a facility used by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). After Swart claimed his company engaged in “peaceful protest,” Jones asked Swart if the use of paid protesters gave an “accurate account” of public sentiment, prompting Swart to claim the Tea Party used paid protesters, leading Joned to jump in.

“I remember the Tea Party, I was part of the Tea Party and those were organic protests. I guess what I’m trying to get at is the Tea Party was moms, dads-” Jones said before Swart cut him off, claiming, “They were heavily funded, Lawrence. They were heavily funded.”
