@ofa organizer says there are about 18 protesters – some are scattered looking for the protest

In fairness, some did have trouble finding the protest. They were expecting something a little bigger.

Maybe one of those reporters (other than the Washington Examiner’s Charlie Spiering) can mention this:
One protester reprimanded by OFA organizers after shouting: "Boner Boner vote!"
