Union Protestors Target California Republican, Go To Wrong House…

Brilliant people here...

Quote:Union leaders in California continued a protest even after neighbors and police informed them they were at the wrong house because their target, Rep. Steve Knight (R., Calif.), had moved away months ago.

The group of over 50 protestors, who arrived in Service Employees International Union (SEIU) vans, carried a fake coffin to the house to send a message that Knight’s votes in Congress were “killing” them, according to a report in the local Antelope Valley Press.

Police arrived at the scene to alert the union protestors that they were in the wrong place, but the activists—who had already been informed of this fact by neighbors—decided to continue the protest anyway. The police removed the protestors from the home’s driveway and front lawn, where they were holding a candlelight vigil.

An aide to California State Assembly Leader Anthony Rendon defended the protestors, saying that it was not an “embarrassment.”

“I don’t see that this was an embarrassment,” said Rendon aide Darren Parker. “What I saw was people are looking for solutions to uncertainty and sometimes they don’t get the I’s dotted and the T’s crossed.”

Parker added that he was pleased by the turnout at the failed protest.

Throughout February, protestors organized by the state Democratic Party have targeted the Southern California Republican at his local office. The protestors said that their efforts were based on an online guidebook called “Indivisible: A Practical Guide for Resisting the Trump Agenda.”

Its not their fault. When you get bussed in from another state, you often have no idea what is where and who has moved.
