SAN BERNARDINO - The head organizer for California ACORN says a new video that appears to show a staffer at the organization's San Bernardino office is fake journalism.
The video, which was posted shortly before 2 p.m. Tuesday on a Web site called Big Government.com, shows a female ACORN employee talking to a man who claims to be a pimp interested in establishing a brothel where underage immigrant prostitutes would turn tricks in order to raise money for political activity.
The woman, identified on the video as Tresa Kaelke, appears on posted footage to be interested in cooperating the plan. However, California ACORN head organizer Amy Schur said the video is a gross misrepresentation of what actually happened.
"In this video, there are two actors who come into our office and who were messing with us. And our employee was messing with them," Schur said.
She said that the complete and unedited video needs to be released to the public.
Schur said that in a moment not shown on the edited video, Kaelke asked the undercover "pimp" if he was joking and then proceeded to play along with the joke.
Furthermore, Schur said that Kaelke will sign an affidavit stating that she was not seriously entertaining the idea of cooperating with an apparent attempt to establish a house of prostitution.
"She (Kaelke) asked if they were joking and asked if they were reporters. They said they weren't reporters and they aren't. This is not legitimate news," Schur said.
Schur's statements follow comments from ACORN office supervisor Christina Spach, who said Kaelke was afraid of the "pimp" and "prostitute" who broached the prostitution ploy at ACORN's San Bernardino office.
The Big Government.com video identifies the "pimp" as James O'Keefe and the "prostitute" as Hannah Giles. O'Keefe and Giles could not be reached immediately for comment.
LOL, sure you're not.
Yep! I’m waiting for 6 more to come!
“Well if she’s willing to sign an affidavit........LOL “
What’s the value of one of those signatures from a felon killer?
cannot see anything on your link......I have to log in and search.....what did you find?
Did you save what you found on hard drive.I got a feeling that narrative is going to be gone very soon.
Well, of course not. Axelrod hasn't heard anything about this story yet.
You betcha.
If there's not one, O'Keefe and Giles could be the first two people in the new Conservative Hall of Fame... That's a good idea, fhayek.
There’s no obit for him that I can find...
surely someone got the info before it was removed.

Her first response was she was afraid to be alone with them. Um, yeah, because Hannah and James really look intimidating. (roll eyes).
