O'Keefe has produced numerous videos that have attempted to take down members of the media, Democrats or progressives. He led the videos during the 2008 election of progressive group ACORN, attempted to show that Planned Parenthood sold aborted fetuses, and tried to show that a career employee at the Department of Agriculture, Shirley Sherrod, an African American, was racist.

Breitbart is the platform where O'Keefe's videos are posted. The former head of Breitbart, Steve Bannon, is the CEO of Trump's campaign.

Why do they insist that O'Keefe did those videos on planned parenthood. They were not the videos he did. The videos he did were having a girl claim she was a 15 Y.O. who had been impregnated by a 23 Y.O. male. He also did a video about being a donor that had racial overtones about it. He either wanted his donations to only be used for minority women, or vice versa, I just do not remember which it is now.

A donation, which is what they cite, is not the same as employing them. A side note NBC puts a disclaimer that they have not corroborated the video, yet still produce a hit piece nonetheless. I guess the firing of one person caught on tape, and a second resigning are irrelevant to them.

Lastly, Breitbart is not the platform where O'Keefe's videos are posted. They are merely another site that gives recognition to them. Where Steve Bannon was working before he started working for Trump means nothing. Especially given the realities that they ignore all connections to various organizations, political PACS, and the Democrat Party, and are summarily dismissed as big nothing burgers.

They are trying to dirty up O’Keefe .... and Breitbart & of course, the Trump campaign.

The “damage” is already done and more to come. The cat is out of the bag & it’s a ‘feral’ cat (if you’ve ever had to deal with one of those) .....

I’ve been hanging out on the Donald Trump subreddit the last two days (first time for me) .... a couple of things coming up for discussion a lot - the videos are changing minds, if people see them. Libs & Berniebots are switching to Trump. Trump’s debate performance (calm, presidential) vs Hillary’s is causing folks to switch from Stein to Trump. Hilly scared them to death with the nuclear stuff - they are convinced she will have us in a nuclear war. As one Lib put it: I am ‘for’ environmental causes, but there will be no “environment”, just a nuclear wasteland if Hilly is elected - people told me Trump was scary, but from what I saw, the ‘scary’ one was Hillary! The tide is turning - in time for Nov 8? I don’t know. Some of the Bernie folks now working for Trump are very enthusiastic - the Trump people are the happiest, most energetic, friendly folks & have taken them in with open arms ..... they are noticing the difference. Word has supposedly leaked out that the Bernie folks that have joined the Clinton campaign are very unhappy - the whole campaign is unhappy - fist fights in the halls (Aaron Black will probably want to sign them up) and people leaving. Take it all with a big grain of salt, but even without these anecdotes, whose campaign looks the most confident? Whose campaign looks the most desperate? I think the Dems are looking at bad internals while The Donalds are looking better. Nov. 8 - showdown time at the ok corral - let’s hope the “bad hombres” lose.
