PHOENIX A.Z. (AP) — For months now, rumors have circulated the Internet that individuals were being paid to protest at rallies held by presidential hopeful Donald Trump. Today a man from Trump’s rally in Fountain Hills, Arizona back in March has come forward to say that he was paid to protest the event.
“I was given $3,500 to protest Donald Trump’s rally in Fountain Hills,” said 37-year-old Paul Horner. “I answered a Craigslist ad about a group needing actors for a political event. I interviewed with them and got the part.”
Now we know why Trump cozied up with Breitbart and other POS morally bereft. Fake news to negate actual events. Trump took note of the useful idiot birthers and combined that with lessons learned from the power of Faux Newz to further a bull-**** agenda and voila! A snake oil salesman cons his way into The White House.
We know live in a world of fake news being taken as real news. No one has the time or care to bother to see if a story is real before believing it, just as long as it fits the narrative. We have seen this happen on both sides of the spectrum and I wish people would be outraged about this....but instead Americans just run with these fake news stories, which might as well be real at that point if so many people are believing them.
To be fair to the op, the site is abcnews.com.co so it's not unreasonable for them to automatically think it is a legitimate source. There are so many fake news sites out there and threads are started here based on their stories daily. I usually see them used as a source in the Current Events forum.

Ha ha, yeah, I opened a tab and put in ABC news.com to see if the logos matched and that's when I noticed the ".co".
The reason I was curious was because it read dodgy....
"The best we could do was just yell and punch em’ and stuff.” Downey continued, “I think we did a good job though. I was shouting at them the whole time, calling them losers, telling them to get a job or go back home to mommy’s house; I got a bunch of high-fives from my fellow Trump supporters. It was a great time.”

I think you're being very nice to the OP. To me it looks fake at first click, and I question whether the OP knew it was fake or not.
