LA canvasser says activists, agitators at 'No Kings' protests are getting paid by communist group: OMG reports

O'Keefe Media Group (OMG) has reported that protesters were recruited and paid by a "communist" group to participate in the "No Kings" demonstrations in Los Angeles.

According to OMG, footage they obtained revealed an OMG undercover journalist speaking to a woman named "Angie" who works for Blitz Canvassing, a signature gathering organization for petitions as well as elections.

The OMG reporter told the canvasser, "Some guy came up to be yesterday and was like, 'Hey, sign up here for a protest on Saturday." The canvasser said that the person wanting the undercover reporter to go to the protest was from a "communist" group.

The OMG journalist said, "He got paid, and I'm like, 'I'm trying to do that.’”

"Yeah, they do that. They go around, they pay something like 20 bucks a person," the woman replied.

When he followed up, asking what the name of the group was since he had forgotten the name, Angie replied, "RDA, some communist group."

In addition to talking about the communist group reportedly paying to get attendees at the protest, Angie told the undercover journalist about how much they get paid for collecting signatures on different petitions for various political issues.

Head of OMG, James O'Keefe, attended the area of the protest, where he also pointed out graffiti that said things such as "F*ck ICE" as well as "Death to America."

The reports from OMG come after a weekend full of the "No Kings" protest and violent riots happening around the country. The unrest was an anti-Trump response to the 250th US Army Birthday celebration, which was held on Saturday. The events also fell on the president's birthday.
