A quick search turns up nothing for "T Mellen Events" or "Fight Fight Fight LLC" The post contains zero contact information to sign up or, in the alternative, a place to meet on the day of the event.

This is the flip of the "paid protesters" or "paid insurrectionists" claimed by Trump, and is equally likely to be untrue.
