The Blaze reported last month on the protester at Occupy CPAC who told The Daily Caller's Michelle Fields that he and other demonstrators were paid "sixty bucks a head" to protest outside the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C. The demonstration was organized by the AFL-CIO and Occupy DC, and Chris Field noted that some of the protesters needed cue card-like reminders for what they were chanting. The DC caught up with AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka who, despite video showing otherwise, denies that his union paid protesters.
