5:00Now Playing"John Iadarola (), Ben Mankiewicz () and Steve Oh () filling in for Cenk Uygur () discuss why Big Sugar hired fifty actors to play Tea Party protesters against a Florida land deal.
No one in the Tea Party of Miami or U.S. Sugar could be bothered to protest a new land deal in Florida, so they decided to hire fifty or so actors to do it for them. The actors played Tea Party protestors picketing the South Florida Water Management District. They were supposed to be protesting against a plan by Environmentalist to buy U.S. Sugar land to divert water through the land to the struggling everglades and act as an emergency drinking supply for Southern Florida if needed. U.S. Sugar uses the land as a lease from Florida and wants to keep the land for production needs. The hiring of actors occurred after the Tea Party of Miami was an able to gather enough support for a real protest."
Is hiring actors to protest for a corporation wrong? Let us know what you think in the comments section below.
