Evan Coyne Maloney, who’s been called the conservative answer to Michael Moore, occupied Occupy Wall Street with his film crew, a bunch of ‘gotcha’ questions and some ‘hippie pothead’ bling.

Maloney is apparently best known for a film about political correctness in education, called “IndoctrinateU.” According to Crooks and Liars, Maloney is marketed by Donor’s Trust, a non-profit which is funded by the Koch Brothers along with other conservative operatives.

The video below is kind of all over the place, especially in the beginning, but around the 4:40 mark, a protester confronts Maloney about the fact that he is handing out bongs and rolling papers instead of things the protesters can actually use, like blankets and food.
