    I swear that O’Keefe always looks like some dumbass that picked an absurd Halloween costume when he’s doing his activist “journalism”.

    Another plus on this is that Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty can now cash in on Trump’s one million dollar bounty on finding voter fraud!

    That massive quote in the middle is choice. Tl;dr: You can be as racist as you like — nothing wrong with that. You just can’t be a racist and try to commit voter fraud.

      For anyone curious:

      “It is not against the law to be performative, it is not against the law to be offensive, it is not against the law to say the things they said standing outside the polling place,” Moriarty said. “We can’t let people’s political bent or what they’re here to do affect our decisions in deciding whether to issue felony charges. We take that very seriously. None of that played a role. The fundamental issue here is you cannot go into a polling place and misidentify yourself and use other people’s identity and say that to our election judges when you apply for a ballot, whether or not you intend to vote.”

      Really quite well said.

      All they said is that it’s not illegal, which is factually true. They didn’t say anything about it being morally decent or tasteful.

      They’re prosecuting him for breaking the law, not for being a douche. What’s wrong with clarifying that?

    I’m not sure what to call James O’Keefe at this point. Serial liar? Serial fraudster? Serial defamer? He’s definitely a serial something.

    This act of pure stupidity should help everyone reevaluate these guys for the clowns they have always been. I will never forget them dressing as a pimp and going to abortion clinics trying to get offhand comments from the workers. Total trash.
