(Washington DC) Project Veritas Action Fund has released undercover video from incumbent Senator Heidi Heitkamp’s campaign and Senate staff exposing bait and switch politics to court moderate voters. This is the fifth undercover video report Project Veritas has released in a series revealing secrets and lies from political campaigns in 2018.
Said James O’Keefe, founder and president of Project Veritas Action:
“As we’ve seen from our undercover reports this October, politicians, will lie, obfuscate and hide their real politics to win a few votes. Senator Heidi Heitkamp from North Dakota is no exception.”
Heitkamp Will Be “Super Liberal” Once Re-Elected
Featured in the report is Senator Heitkamp’s Digital Director, Jesse Overton, who says that Senator Heitkamp will be “super liberal” should she be re-elected:
OVERTON: “It’s an election year for her. She’s being careful about pissing people off, and … said basically like, after the election, if and when she gets re-elected, she’s going to be super liberal.”
Overton alleges that during the campaign, Senator Heitkamp plays politics “safe,” but if she wins a third term “she’d probably be a little more bolder about it.”
Also in the report are staffers from Senator Heitkamp’s Fargo, North Dakota campaign office, including Hallie Skripak-Gordon and Lauren Dronen, who reveal they make Senator Heitkamp’s campaign appear more moderate than it really is to the press and voters.
JOURNALIST: “I don’t like that you took the Obama poster down [in the Fargo campaign office.]”
SKRIPAK-GORDON: “It’s because the press was here. When Trump was here… the day that Trump was, we had press in here because we had a lot of volunteers. So we take it down when the press comes.”
Skripak-Gordon continues, saying that “people don’t want [Heitkamp] to be like a Democrat-Democrat. You know, they want her to be a moderate, so you don’t want like a super liberal President to… maybe the association wouldn’t actually be beneficial to her.” Added Mary, another campaign staffer, the association with President Obama “doesn’t poll well here.”
Another individual who works in Senator Heitkamp’s Senate office, Prescott Robinson, also says that once re-elected, Senator Heitkamp could be “more progressive.”
ROBINSON: “Maybe she wins by twenty points and she goes ‘okay I can be a little more progressive.'”
JOURNALIST: “Yeah.”
ROBINSON: “And it also depends, if she starts supporting something, and then the calls come screaming in, maybe she goes back.”
Robinson adds:
ROBINSON: “The thing with politicians is that they’re politicians… If the country moved further to the left she would move to the left.”
JOURNALIST: “Yeah.”
ROBINSON: “Like I think that if we had a Democratic Senate, she would vote for more policies that you see more Democrats support.”
Vague on Trump’s Wall
Dronen explains how Senator Heitkamp’s campaign is deliberately vague regarding support for President Trump’s proposal for a border wall so that voters on both sides of the issue won’t be alienated:
JOURNALIST: “So don’t say she doesn’t support the wall?”
DRONEN: “Yeah, I would just say she supports effective border security that includes barriers in some places but whatever folks on the ground think is effective.”
JOURNALIST: “… So don’t say that she doesn’t?”
DRONEN: “Yeah.”
Impeachment
Another individual who works on Senator Heitkamp’s campaign, Ian Childs, explains plans for the impeachment of President Trump:
CHILDS: “It’s time. We get this, we get the Senate back, [Trump’s] gonna have some pressure on him. He’s gonna start acting right or he’s gonna face some consequences… Well he’ll know that he’s gotta that impeachment word looking at him.”
More Elections…
This is the fifth release in a series Project Veritas Action Fund began publishing in October 2018 exposing dishonesty and unethical conduct in elections across the country. Project Veritas Action Fund will continue to publish undercover reports in this series.
If only more voters understood that this is kind of leftist duplicity has long been routine with Democrat politicians who pose as “moderates”
This needs to go VIRAL!.........................
Democrats lie to get into office.
It’s not like everybody doesn’t know that already.
What people need to realize is that Bush League Republicans do the same thing while having the same goal as Democrats, turning the USA into North Mexico.
If the GOP were on the side of the citizens and the rule of law we would already have a border fence. That law as passed in 2006.
Funding for it was revoked by Bush League Republicans.
Say goodnight Heidi. Pack your saddle bags and head back to Bison country.
Wish he’d dupe Casey from PA-—that dolt needs a spotlight on him!!!
She’ll never leave DC.
They become lobbyists..................
Anybody who bothers to do their civic duty know these Red State Democrats follow Schumer’s marching orders.
For at least 50 years, leftist politicians got a pass from the Media.
Conservative politicians did not.
Now, with a bit of alternative media, Conservatives are returning the favor.
Leftist politicians do not know how to handle it. No one ever held them to account before.
i’d love TO see a project Veritas from inside of Schumer and Warren’s camps.
Democrats; the drama queen party.
Methinks the country has had quite enough of this drama queen nonsense. Howabout some peace and quiet on the home front while our good President and American people MAGA?
I read her facebook page. This is being inserted numerous times into every topic on her page. She’s done, Jim.
It’s not just Heitkamp. NO leftist Democrat can be honest about their real intent and political beliefs. They would NEVER get elected.
That’s what smarmy politicians do.
Both parties.
See: RINO
This plus a RINO opponent plus the fallout from apallingly stupid rape comments from GOP candidates in Indiana and Missouri barely carried her over the finish line in 2012 (less than 3000 votes), so she has risen to her level of incompetence in elected positions.
It will be lobbyist or appointed positions from here on out and she can show her true lefty colors.
The reason many democrats have been elected Senator in ND is because they promised the farmers they would bring home the subsidies. Once elected they could do most anything they want as long as the farmers got fed a good diet of handouts. That dynamic is changing.
As recently as 1976, Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, both Dakotas and Nebraska ALL had at least one Democrat senator.
Today, there are only two Democrat senators in all seven states. By January, that number could drop to zero with a probable flip in North Dakota and a possible flip in Montana.
Mr. O’Keefe deserves the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
