A woman apparently associated with James O’Keefe’s “Project Veritas” approached the Washington Post\u00a0<\/i>multiple times, claiming that Moore had made her pregnant at 15, leading to an abortion. She repeated asked reporters for their opinion about how such a story would affect Moore’s campaign. The WaPo didn’t find her story held together, declined to publish an article with her story, and then later spotted her going into the Project Veritas offices.<\/p>\n

O’Keefe’s been responsible for any number of so-called “sting” operations against those considered enemies of conservatism, usually including hidden mic recordings released in a highly edited format.<\/p>\n

Interestingly enough, the woman approached the WaPo only “hours” after their initial story on women alleging Moore approached or assaulted them as teenagers.<\/p>\n

This is yet another in a series of attempts to spread “fake news” or raise doubts about the reporting on the Moore allegations. It just has the additional sleazy element of O’Keefe’s band of right-wing pranksters being involved.<\/p>\n
