Project Veritas tries to sting media on Roy Moore's pedophilia

A woman claiming to have been impregnated by Roy Moore as a teen really worked with James O'Keefe and Project Veritas.

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.

I did my bit to spread this story around on social media. For all the crap that the RW spews about fake news, the more the country needs to see that it's the RW that starts most of the "fake" news in the first place.

Plus, someone must think that Moore is in trouble, which is a good thing and this story adds to his stink.

Also, Veritas isn't.
