Missouri volunteers say they were harassed by paid GOP canvassers. It’s likely the same group accused of forging signatures in Utah “They were like, ‘Actually, no. We’re here to stop you from getting signatures.’”

New reporting by Democracy Docket suggests that Patriot Grassroots’ canvassers also crossed a line in Missouri, where volunteers gathering signatures to put a GOP-backed gerrymander to a statewide vote said they were harassed by out-of-state paid agitators.

Screenshot of a CNN segment shared by Acyn. A split-screen shows commentator Lydia Moynihan on the left and Kevin O’Leary on the right during a heated exchange. The chyron reads, “Obama: Dems need to avoid scolding and ‘virtue-signaling.’” The post quotes O’Leary referencing China and concentration camps, and McGowan responding about West Virginia.
