Hooker actually a 20-year-old FIU journalism student
She was a down on her luck prostitute with a pimp, at least she pretended to be while working to uncover alleged wrongdoing within advocacy group ACORN, but it turns out the 20-year-old hooker is actually a South Florida pastor's daughter and an FIU undergrad. Hannah Giles quickly became the most famous journalism student at Florida International University after she stirred up quite a storm and become a conservative hero while spending her summer posing as a call girl to infiltrate the offices of ACORN. Giles became an internet sensation after hidden camera videos, showing her in scantily clad hooker gear entering ACORN offices in Baltimore, New York, Washington and San Bernadino, Calif., accompanied by James Keefe, himself dressed in outrageous pimp wear, made the rounds on news outlets the past few weeks.
Undercover in ACORN
In the videos, Giles and Keefe discuss their situation with ACORN workers, saying the two need help getting a house which they would like to turn into an underage brothel. The ACORN workers advise the two of illegal ways of getting around laws regarding income reporting. The hooker role is a shocking turn for Giles, whose father, Doug Giles, is senior pastor of the Clash Church in Aventura, according to the Miami Herald. Giles reportedly tried to work her undercover sting in Miami earlier this summer, but was unable to bait the local ACORN staff.
ACORN's Florida director, Stephanie Porta, told the Herald that Giles showed up at the Miami office, but that staffers advised her to visit a domestic violence shelter.
Yesterday, the national ACORN office announced that the organization was suspending key operations while they perform an independent review into the videos.
“...shocked they didn’t laugh him right out the door...”
Yep, plus the fact that they talk like Archie and Betty. I guess ACORN staffers are a little dense.
Having read many articles by Doug Giles for years, I’m sure he is as proud as a peacock of his daughter and Mr. O’Keefe and their courage and convictions.
Ping
Maybe these two can teach the MSM what journalism is all about.
Yes, it’s a feather for FIU, and also they should be preparing for some new inquiries about college-and-career at Dad’s church.
That's counter to what Andrew Brietbart said last night on Hannity. He said that no one turned them away or reported them.
I hope she gets an A from her journalism class.
Hannah Giles is proof that Evangelicals make America great.
Which makes the whole thing even crazier. They really gave them every opportunity to NOT believe them yet acorn doesn’t care. They don’t care because the whole plan is to just game the system. The more they game it, the more money they get. So you know they want to process every app they can. The guy who said something about step one of a “15 step process” I think was stretching the truth just a tad.
