Patrick Moran, son of Rep. Jim Moran (D-VA), resigned from his father's campaign on Wednesday after conservative activist James O'Keefe released a video that appears to show him offering advice to an undercover videographer who claimed to want to commit voter fraud.

"Effective immediately, I have resigned from the Moran for Congress campaign," Patrick Moran said in a statement to TPM sent from his campaign email address.

Isn’t what he did a federal felony?

He should be prosecuted.

[ConservativeInPA]

Maybe Jim Moron should resign over this. (Not a misspelling)

[gov_bean_ counter]

Book em Dan-o.

[Sir Napsalot]

Resign is not enough.

How many ‘voters’ have you ‘helped’, fess up!

LOL the holidays at the Moran homestead should be a real treat.

[muawiyah]

The Democrats who were neatly gerrymandered into Moran's district (where they are an overwhelming majority) like thieves, liars, rapists, drunks, child molesters, dopers, traitors and the like.

Who imagines anyone but Jim can cover more of those categories?

The man is invaluable to the people in his district who can look up to him and say "wow, when I get out of stir I can be jus' like the man"

[ozzymandus]

When will his father resign?

[Paladin2]

"Effective immediately, I have resigned from the Moran for Congress campaign"

to work full-time on voter fraud for Brackwards.

LOL!!!!!

[kevao]

Why should old man Moron resign? He’ll win his seat comfortably again because...well, they know how to cheat.

I wonder how many citizens’ votes Jim Moron & family have managed to cancel out during his overly long, corrupt career?

[stevio]

Resigning because the legal battles will be overwhelming?

[DoctorBulldog]

Of course, the real criminal, Jim Moron(!), will NEVER resign...

O’Keefe tweeted: In an extraordinary series of events, two people have been fired, an office has been shut down, Congressman’s son has resigned, no MSM.

[Mr. K]

NO no no no nonooooooooooo not so fast...........!!!

HOW MANY TIMES DID YOU DO THIS AND WITH WHO?

Maybe we can get a RICO indictment? (for the whole Democrap party)

[Steely Tom]

Isn’t what he did a federal felony?

If he had been working for a Republican office-seeker it certainly would be.

And Chris Matthews, Mika Brzezinski, Rachel Maddow, Bill Mahar, Ed Schultz, Whoopie Goldberg, Eliot Spitzer, James Carville, Lawrence O'Donnell, and a host of other brainiacs would be delighted to explain to you exactly why it was a felony.

O'Keefes Project Veritas uploaded a 26 minute video to youtube 5 hours ago. Click the pic below....

Moran’s criminal spawn quits.

Another crooked Rat-bastard uncovered. Good job, O’Keefe.

[Joe Boucher]

Noooo,
He’s not a republican!

[alice_in_bubbaland]

Yeh right, he’ll be back on the job tomorrow.

Jeez, what a moron.

[Leep]

Maybe he, and son, will rat out other bigger rats for a lighter sentence?

[freekitty]

I would think so.

[VanDeKoik]

Damn, they didnt even give the media time to cover his rear by attacking O’Keefe! Nice!

When a real conservative TV news outlet is ever produced, this guy needs to be the #1 reporter.

[caddie]

How does it go?

Soap box then ballot box then ...what?

Seems like the Rats have taken away the first two...

Now what?

[VeniVidiVici]

Did Senor Moron throw the junior Moron under the bus yet?

[Starboard]

“O’Keefe tweeted: In an extraordinary series of events, two people have been fired, an office has been shut down, Congressman’s son has resigned, no MSM.”

**********
This would be the same MSM that gave his old man a pass on at least three different occasions for verbal recklessness and spouting insensitivies.

Thanks for posting his tweet. Good to know that O’Keefe cited the corrupt MSM for what it is.

[SgtHooper]

Nope. Resigning to spend more time with his family. :-)

[Liberty Valance]

Breitbart is here.

[crz]

Were? In the crow bar hotel?

[wolficatZ]

"James O'Keefe ‏@JamesOKeefeIII In an extraordinary series of events, two people have been fired, an office has been shut down, Congressman's son has resigned, no MSM." NO MSM.

[chris37]

This man needs to be arrested right now.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

I’m sure it is a felony, but since he’s a Demonrat, he won’t pay $5 or spend 5 minutes in jail for it. If he were a Repub every network would be howling for blood.

[DAC21]

I’m sure he was taught by the best and someone much higher up . Cut him a deal for ratting out the big cheese.

[littleharbour]

The Dems engage in systematic voter fraud on a massive scale. That’s why the Republicans need a bigger margin in the opinion polls in order to put them over the top. Look what happened in Nevada in 2010. Polls were showing a dead heat and Reid ended up winning by a large margin, no doubt in part due to his magical voting machines.

[Jane Long]

Who could press the charges? VA GOP? This needs to happen post haste.

[Suz in AZ]

This was in VA, right? So who is the state AG? That’s right.

[catfish1957]

I think the dims are executing wide spread fraud in every contested battleground state. How better to characterize the liberal left in this country.... IF you can’t win, cheat!!!!

[bayliving]

To combat this, all every conservative has to do is vote.

[Cathy]

AG is Ken Cuccinelli. The state board of election has to request an investigation.

[JoeFromSidney]

Soap box then ballot box then ...what?

Jury box. And then...

[lone star annie]

Democratic Party is a criminal enterprise. This POS will be around.

[tanknetter]

Jim Moran doesn’t need to cheat in that district in order to win.

However, cheating needs to happen in Morans district for Obama to carry the state. This is national news, because cheating there could ONLY benefit Obama.

[lonevoice]

Yes and yes.

[GeronL]

Holder will now announce an investigation into some fctitious GOP vote scam

[Trailerpark Badass]

One of the comments on that article:

Because neither Project Veritas nor James O’Keefe are exempt from criminal prosecution for conspiracy to commit election fraud, and neither Project Veritas nor the "undercover operative" were authorized to conduct a sting operation like this, it looks like the video gives the DoJ an open and shut case against the conspirators.

These people live in some alternate reality.
