(NewsNation) \u2014 President Trump alleged Friday that Democrats are paying protesters to fight his Washington, D.C., crime policies. But how do paid protests actually work?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NewsNation spoke with Adam Swart, the CEO of Crowds on Demand, about his company that provides services \u201cfor impactful advocacy campaigns, demonstrations, PR stunts, crowds for hire and corporate events,\u201d according to its website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAll of our protesters are sincere advocates for the cause at hand. We\u2019ve been in business 13 years, so we have a large roster of people we know and have networks of others we can call upon to be compensated for expressing their sincere points of view,\u201d Swart said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swart said compensation for protests is typically in the low hundreds of dollars, depending on the assignment. He said organizing a protest \u201cis like buying an ad.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said his company receives requests for both conservative and liberal causes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have been clear that we work with both liberals and conservatives on causes that align with common-sense values. Democrats are hiring our company, and so are Republicans,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He did not disclose what protests his company has been asked to be a part of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swart previously told NewsNation that he turned down $20 million to provide protesters for \u201cGood Trouble Lives On\u201d protests in July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m rejecting it not because I don\u2019t want to take the business, but because frankly, this is going to be ineffective; it\u2019s going to make us all look bad,\u201d Swart said of the anti-Trump protests at the time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
