The most fascinating news article I've ever read!

https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/a-woman-approached-the-post-with-dramatic--and-false--tale-about-roy-moore-sje-appears-to-be-part-of-undercover-sting-operation/2017/11/27/0c2e335a-cfb6-11e7-9d3a-bcbe2af58c3a_story.html?utm_term=.2fb66d7d2122

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.


Required reading! Even if this was fiction it would be a fascinating and captivating story, but it's not fiction, it's real!

They did due diligence and found her to be lying.

Fox would have put this lie on the air in a heartbeat. The "librul" media, no way.

It shows that their stories were reliable and probably true.

Way to go O'Keefe - you really fucked up.
