Protesters at Friday’s “Occupy CPAC” event, organized by AFL-CIO and the  Occupy DC movement, told The Daily Caller that they were paid “sixty bucks a  head” to protest outside the Conservative Political Action Conference in  Washington, D.C.

One protester told TheDC that all the “Occupy” activists were being paid to  protest, and that his union, Sheet Metal Workers Local 100, approached him about  the money-making opportunity.

“I have nothing nice to say about Local 100. … They just told me ‘you wanna  make sixty bucks? So c’mon,’” the protester said.

Other “Occupy CPAC” protesters were unwilling to speak on camera because they  were unaware what they were protesting and what the CPAC event was  about.
