The Urban League of Greater Dallas fired one person and suspended three others after a video from a conservative activist reportedly showed the workers encouraging health care applicants to lie.
An edited video was released Monday that seemingly shows so-called health care Navigators encouraging people to lie on forms signing up for health care to get better rates.
The video was released by Project Veritas, which was started by conservative activist James O'Keefe. O'Keefe gained notoriety for videos in 2009 that eventually brought down ACORN.
The Urban League said in a statement on Tuesday it "does not condone, nor would we ever sanction, misleading the public or any individual who seeks our assistance about any issue, and particularly in this case, an issue as critical as health care."
The Urban League said the person fired was a "part-time receptionist trainee" who was not authorized to speak on behalf of The Urban League or act as a Navigator and said it supports decertifying three "Navigators-in-training" in the video.
The Urban League also called for the unedited video of the incidents to be released. It said the undercover applicants were told the people they were speaking to were Navigators-in-training and "the full context of these comments is not reflected in the video."
Two Texas politicians said the video show

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
As though James had to film 100 Navigators to find these 3.....
“It said the undercover applicants were told the people they were speaking to were Navigators-in-training “
So... they were being trained to lie ?
Wonder how many had criminal records. But we don’t care about that. /sarc
"brought down" should read "brought about a name change"...
So when are they going to fire whomever came up with the “whores for free birthcontrol (my title) ad in Colorado?
I'm waiting for the various news outlets to state that this was an isolated case.
O’Keefe should take care to make sure his accelerator pedal does not “get stuck”.
The video probably was recorded on the first 3.
Pity O'Keefe couldn't have waited a few days more and gotten 10, 20, or 30.
“Pity O’Keefe couldn’t have waited a few days more and gotten 10, 20, or 30.”
Just wait.
I think James has learned to have a knockout, on standby.
The three "Navigators-in-training" had already completed their 20 hour online training requirement, and according to ObamaCare are certified "Navigators" .
The level of incompetancy and criminality necessary before prosecution totally astounds me !
That is why , prior to ObamaCare , insurance agents had to be certified , bonded and licensed.
This whole health crap debacle is so illegal on so many fronts !
I’m surprised 0bama hasn’t tried to give them medals yet for pushing his agenda
Looks like racism, were they all black?
Knowing O’Keefe, there will no doubt be more footage released... and it probably won’t provide any relief to the Urban League, likely just more heart burn.
Regime motto: “If you ain’t lyin’, you ain’t tryin’.
Well, the way it looks, if you fired 100 “navigators” at random, you’d probably be firing 80-90 black people in the process.
So, I’d say the “racism” was in the hiring, not in the firing.
Riiiight. The National Urban League is headed by Marc Morial, the original ACORN poster boy.
Yeah, I love that guy. He's a master at the slow drip.
