But you can pay cash for fake supporters, Just like Trump did, do you not shame that?

Other journalists have already confirmed this with multiple sources, and the FBI were asked to investigate by multiple elected representatives, before project veritas ever got interested
James O'Keefe was called by the folks looking into this, in hopes he'd find a way to get them on tape

The real accusations have been about widespread fraud in the 2016 and 2018 elections, what o'keefe got on camera was just from the primaries in august this year

It shows actual footage of completely legal activity. So it shows nothing of real significance.



Here's my insight on this. Are there individual canvassers and political field staff who have tried to get away with paying for signatures, voter reg cards, etc.? Absolutely yes. Every political field coordinator in the country knows there will always be a few trouble areas every campaign season. But, by and large, these people are caught and prosecuted because all of us who work in the industry are quick to turn them in.

Now, I would expect that Omar has a campaign manager, a consulting firm, and a number of subcontractor organizations working under the consultant with their own staff. This is typical. In an hourly pay scenario, there would generally be a quota attached to number of signatures, number of reg cards, number of contacts, number of doors knocked, etc. Some metric to ensure people are working. So of course there are always a few stupid people who will try to make quota by offering someone a buck to sign the petition. They are almost universally caught and fired in their first week of work. No consultant or subcontractor in the country is going to be instructing anyone to do anything illegal, and they are going to be extremely protective of their industry. So if Project Veritas finds one or two people doing shady things, it wouldn't surprise me. But it would surprise me if it were more than a few ballots they tried to buy before they got busted and fired. Any attempt to frame this as some sort of systemic issue happening everywhere is ignorant at the very least.

at this point it's not surprising anymore that a political hack outlet like "project veritas" is a trusted news source for same crowd that shouts "fake news" at everyone reporting critically about their emperor. someone who repeatedly (and clumsily) fabricated evidence, doctored videos, and deliberately misrepresented issues and facts in order to promote specific political narratives is somehow reliable to them...
i mean, we all know right wingers are masters of projection and hypocrisy, so i guess in that way it makes sense. it's just funny that they unironically make these threads and think that anyone who isn't already a loyal cult member would take them seriously, lol...

That's a link to Glen Beck's twitter. Might as well be meatspin lol. Quit trolling.

Republicans need to be like Jimbo on South Park. Convincing the KKK to switch sides because everybody hates them. O'Keefe needs to come out with some stunning thing that Trump definitely colluded from Russia so no liberal ever brings it up again.

All the hand-wringing about "Project Veritas" aside, is anyone in the least bit surprised by this?

No, nobody is surprised that project veritas is posting another hit piece.
