James O'Keefe is at it again: Tries to start ISIS club at Barry University

controversial conservative activist on Monday trumpeted his latest undercover adventure: trying to trick Barry University in Miami Shores into allowing a pro-ISIS campus club.

James O’Keefe is a self-described “guerrilla journalist and muckraker” known for his baiting tactics on video. On Monday, in an airport Hilton hotel conference room off State Road 836, his team handed out press kits and he talked about the campaign of catching college officials embracing the terror group by endorsing a mock club.

“Brace yourselves, this one is beyond anything you’ve ever seen,” O’Keefe tweeted Monday morning. After the event, he then took to Twitter to tout the media attention.

Here’s what led to his “gotcha” announcement Monday: A Barry student reached out to O’Keefe’s group, Project Veritas, which then cooked up a plan for a fake pro-ISIS club and to get Barry staffers on board.
