OKLAHOMA CITY An Oklahoma lawmaker claims that some advocates participating in a statewide teacher walkout at the Capitol are paid actors.
An Oklahoma teacher on Tuesday posted on social media that she met with Rep. John Enns at the Capitol, and he told her that about 25 percent of the people in the crowd were paid actors from Chicago. The post has since been shared nearly 700 times.
KOCO 5's Zach Rael asked Enns Wednesday about the statement, and Enns said he was told that, There were paid protesters down here. Watch the video to hear his full statement.
Enns told KOCO 5 that he can't reveal his sources.

(6,916 posts)The Tea Party was funded by GOP billionaires.
Remember when the Turning Point activist resigned and said the organization stunk? In the process she inadvertently disclosed that the right PAYS those activists . https://www.rawstory.com/2018/02/conservative-activist-resigns-shthole-right-wing-organization-diaper-safe-space-event/
The right loves to use mirroring accusing others of what they do. The left has real activists and the right pays a ton of their organizations. Theres a lot more money on the right than on the left. Because right wing billionaires invest money in trying to destroy the govt to cut their own taxes. And they dont care who gets hurt.
