A Craigslist advertisement for anti-Donald Trump protesters has been revealed online.

The ad, which has since been taken down, was put up prior to the Trump rally in Janesville, Wisconsin on March 29.

The ad used an image that indicated the poster supports Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders. Trump has accused supporters of Sanders of being behind many of the disruptions at his rallies.

We are offering this amount because of the income inequality that we are fighting in America today!

Some conservative blogs and news outlets have accused Sanders’ supporters or Hillary Clinton supporters of being behind the protests.

And the liberal group MoveOn praised the protesters who shut down Trump’s rally in Chicago earlier this month.

“To all of those who took to the streets of Chicago, we say thank you for standing up and saying enough is enough,” Ilya Sheyman, the executive director, said in a statement.

“To Donald Trump, and the GOP, we say, welcome to the general election. Trump and those who peddle hate and incite violence have no place in our politics and most certainly do not belong in the White House.”
