Conservative writer hits O'Keefe: He's 'hurting the conservative movement'

BY JACQUELINE THOMSEN - 11/28/17 05:03 PM EST

Conservative activist and writer Brent Bozell said that James O’Keefe should be “condemned” for trying to plant a fake story about Roy Moore at The Washington Post.

Bozell said that O’Keefe was “grandstanding & hurting the conservative movement” by trying to send the fake story to The Post. Bozell has founded groups like the Conservative Communications Center.




The Washington Post revealed Monday that O’Keefe’s Project Veritas had sent a woman to the newspaper falsely claiming that Moore, the GOP candidate in the Alabama Senate special election, had impregnated her as a teenager and that she had an abortion as a result.

The attempt came after The Post had published shocking allegations that Moore had a sexual encounter with a 14-year-old girl when he was 32, and that he pursued at least two women between the ages of 16 and 18.

He would celebrate it if it were done the other direction. Fuck this guy and his disingenuous horseshit. They are only apologetic when they get caught.

"He's hurting them movement because he's too inept to carry out our dirty tricks without getting caught. He sucks at it." But, yeah. That was quite a steaming pantload there.

Rooting for casualties here!

News flash for Bozell: James O'Keefe IS the conservative movement, and has built his entire "career" on gotcha stunts. If you don't like it, what are you going to do about it besides whine? I'm putting a fiver on "nothing."
