18. James O'Keefe tries to 'sting' the Washington Post with fake Roy Moore victimgets stung himself

DK is covering this story https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2017/11/27/1718960/-James-O-Keefe-tries-to-sting-the-Washington-Post-with-fake-Roy-Moore-victim-gets-stung-himself

The only real question remaining is which Republican “strategist” hired this slimeball to add his mucus trail to the already disgusting mess of the Republican Senate race in Alabama. Bannon seems like a good bet.

The lie from the Project Veritas crew was such a blatant attempt at deception, that the Washington Post has decided to both report what were considered “off the record” comments and the name of the person involved.

After [Jaime T. Phillips] was seen entering the Project Veritas office, The Post made the unusual decision to report her previous off-the-record comments.

Congratulations, Jaime T. Phillips. The lie didn’t work, but that won’t stop Fox from finding some way to report this like you’re a hero and pull out a contributor chair.
