Faux "news" is even telling O'Keefe to "Give it a rest."

His latest stunt even made a Faux "news" host get disgusted.

Even Fox News Host Isn't Amused By O'Keefe's Osama Bin Laden Border Crossing Stunt

Fox's Bolling Tells Discredited Video Journalist James O'Keefe To "Give It A Rest"

Fox News host Eric Bolling derided the antics of controversial conservative filmmaker James O'Keefe's latest political stunt, which featured a video of him crossing the Rio Grande River in a mask of Osama Bin Laden.

Controversial filmmaker James O'Keefe, known for deceptively editing videos in order to push his canard of "political disinformation," released a video of himself dressed up as Osama Bin Laden to purportedly show how a terrorist could easily get into the U.S. from the Mexican border. Gawker immediately debunked the O'Keefe video, explaining that the area O'Keefe claims to have crossed in includes a "well-patrolled road that runs parallel to the river" and other obstacles that did not appear in his video.

And even Fox News dismissed O Keefe's latest stunt.

During the August 8 edition of The Five, Bolling explained that talking about real border issues is helpful, but "what's not helpful [is] ... filmmaker James O'Keefe donning an Osama Bin Laden mask and crossing the Rio Grande." Bolling added that O'Keefe should "give it a rest."

You know the scene near the end where the anti-immigration Senator gets spotted by the other villain's militia that shoots to kill when it comes to people crossing the border and said Senator is disguised as a Mexican?

Now I'm not saying what happens after that should happen in that situation, but you know, just picture James O'Keefe looking like a foreigner terrorist crossing the border and getting sighted by one of those lunatic militias that have decided to go down there.

All I'm going to say is that it would make for an interesting story.
