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.
Ahhhh... yeah, that would be great, wouldn’t it? :)
Dear ACORN,
No matter how many times you change your name, you are done.
Love,
Your Neighbor
Great work maggief, that must be her brothel, or close to it!
I a separate case, she, however, is ordered to stay away from him, effective until 2011.
A dozen different ACORN threads and no pictures of Hannah Giles.....this place is slipping lately.
Breitbart stated that tomorrow they would keep it in California but move south close to the border. That means San Diego.
Inquiring minds want to know.
Maybe Charlie Gibson can get the info for us.
Good point...
This is too funny!
Thanks for the laugh.
If she told the truth on the video about killing her hubby, it could be the first "Mr." that is dead, and the second (third? more? who knows?) got worried he was next on her hit list?
Married at 15 in July to an 18 year old, and gave birth to a baby by December? Maybe she was confusing her shotgun wedding, with her divorce?
Traffic court records say birth month August, birth year 1948. Age 61 fits.
It could be a boyfriend, that she just called her husband.
post #79 has some VERY interesting information on it.
Is that her official title? She's the California ACORN HO?
This is like white trash on C.O.P.S., who, caught right on tape getting sex in 7-Eleven parking lots, or shooting up heroin, or stealing car stereos, have a myriad of lame excuses emanating from their *I didnt do anything!" lame-ass lying mouths even with the clear proof.
This is the same scum at work, as they get the cold irons slapped on.
LOL. They better try harder than that. "Just playing with them."
GB best know this woman lost a husband or boy friend in a domestic violence case. If not, all the work prior will be tainted. He did say someone would be going to jail. So I assume he confirmed her partner’s death in a domestic violence case with the proper authorities. Otherwise...
That woman wasn’t capable of ‘messing’ with anyone. Look at the way she’s fidgeting and talking fast. I’ve seen enough drug addicts in my time to know one when I’m looking at one.
Unreal. LOL. It is sad our country has been turned into Alinsky ACORN 0bama tactics.
“lol this is huge...i need to buy more pop corn”
I bought a case at Costco right after the coup. May need more.
