Breaking down Craigslist ad seeking seat fillers on day of Trump's DC parade

On Wednesday, a screenshot of an alleged Craigslist advertisement seeking "seat fillers" for an event in Washington, D.C., today — the same day as a military parade on President Donald Trump's birthday — began to make the rounds on social media.

The ad listed compensation as a "flat fee of $1,000 paid in cryptocurrency." Snopes web producer/reporter Megan Loe has the details.

Three images appear to show the same person. On the left, they appear to be shooting a gun. In the middle, they appear to be running. On the right, they appear to be near a car door with another person.
