This conservative website is offering $5,000 to anyone willing to call Bill Clinton a rapist at Hillary rallies

Hecklers looking to make a buck are interrupting Barack Obama and other speakers at Hillary Clinton rallies at the request of Donald Trump ally and Infowars founder Alex Jones. On Friday, Jones offered his fans a $1,000 reward if they are shown on television for at least five seconds in a "Bill Clinton rape" shirt, or $5,000 if they are heard shouting "Bill Clinton is a rapist" in the clothing; there have already been disruptions at separate rallies in Florida, Wisconsin, and North Carolina, NBC News reports.

In a video of Obama being interrupted, the president can be seen laughing at the protesters who have jumped in front of his podium. Later, when someone else interrupts, he responds, "You know what, here's the deal. Try to get your own rally." At a third interruption he urges the crowd not to boo, saying, "This is our democracy at work. This is great."

Bill Clinton was interrupted Saturday by someone calling him a rapist and in response, the former president asked the crowd to applaud the heckler. "You gotta feel sorry for him. They had a bad day yesterday, so they're trying to make it up," Clinton said. "Give him a hand … When other people pour poison down your throat, don't drink it. Give back good."
