This claim is getting a ton of traction, and it isn’t totally wrong, but it’s also not exactly accurate, either.

Candace Owens’ group reportedly paid for travel & lodging for some people to attend a separate BLEXIT event that day; some of those people also attended the WH rally.

Here’s the link to the ABC article, which says some of the WH rally attendees were in town for a BLEXIT event and had their travel & lodging paid for by Candace Owens’ group. So technically they weren’t paid to attend the WH event. (Still sketchy IMO.) https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/candace-owens-blexit-group-pays-attendees-travel-trumps/story?id=73531036">https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/...

Anyway, it’s worth knowing the full story whenever something is retweeted that much (35,000+ times in total). I would also urge caution when someone who isn’t a member of the press tweets out a major claim, cites a news outlet, but doesn’t provide a link or additional info.

That tactic (tweeting something really salacious or eyebrow raising, citing a news outlet, but failing to provide a link or other info about how to find the source) was a really common method for disseminating mis/disinformation in 2016 (and beyond), so just be discerning.
