A new undercover video series from conservative investigator and provocateur James O’Keefe is already shaking up the 2016 race. The stated goal of O’Keefe’s “Rigging the Election” series is unveiling the “dark secrets at the highest levels of the DNC and Clinton presidential campaign” and within hours of the first video’s release Monday, a consultant for a Democratic organization supporting Hillary Clinton was fired. Another activist featured in the video announced on Tuesday he would stop working with the Democratic National Committee.
The consultant, Scott Foval, was the national field director at Americans United for Change, a collection of Democratic consulting groups. In one clip, Foval tells O’Keefe’s undercover operative: “I answer to the head of special events for the DNC and the head of special events and political for the campaign… The campaign pays DNC, DNC pays Democracy Partners, Democracy Partners pays the Foval Group, the Foval Group goes and executes the s—t on the ground.”
