Project Veritas tried to DISCREDIT WaPo on Roy Moore – and it BACKFIRED….

by SooperMexican

“Project Veritas” is trending on Twitter right now over their latest sting operation – the problem is, it didn’t go that well.

Here’s how WaPo is reporting it:

A woman who falsely claimed to The Washington Post that Roy Moore, the Republican U.S. Senate candidate in Alabama, impregnated her as a teenager appears to work with an organization that uses deceptive tactics to secretly record conversations in an effort to embarrass its targets.

In a series of interviews over two weeks, the woman shared a dramatic story about an alleged sexual relationship with Moore in 1992 that led to an abortion when she was 15. During the interviews, she repeatedly pressed Post reporters to give their opinions on the effects that her claims could have on Moore’s candidacy if she went public.

The Post did not publish an article based on her unsubstantiated account. When Post reporters confronted her with inconsistencies in her story and an Internet posting that raised doubts about her motivations, she insisted that she was not working with any organization that targets journalists.

They then saw her walking into Project Veritas offices, and the jig was up. So instead of discrediting the Moore accusations, O’Keefe accidentally shows just how thorough the reporters are – if they were bad journalists, they would have run with the story despite the bad sources. But they didn’t.

O’Keefe is sticking to his guns – he says he has something on the Washington Post:

Now they’re being roundly mocked for their failed attempt to cover for Roy Moore:

Well, you know, they can’t all be gems. O’Keefe has done some good work in the past and exposed a lot of liberal mendacity. It just didn’t work out this time – unless O’Keefe really does have something on the Washington Post – we’ll let you know as soon as we know…
