Right-wing "journalist" who tries to be Michael Moore and releases deceptively edited "exposes" of Democratic figures and organizations. He's the one who took down ACORN back in the Obama days, and more recently tried to prove that CNN were secret liberals out to get Trump.

He's a real piece of work.

I think that the only people who will believe whatever his "bombshell" is already wouldn't support Murphy.
Typical asshole Republican tactics.

He did sink ACORN and had some other big stings about 10 years ago, but now his stuff is mostly a shrug from the mainstream and only resonates with the true believers.

At the end of the day - when it was all investigated - they did not one thing wrong -

Other than helping black Americans vote. That was the big 'wrong'.

Keeps dropping on the NJ 12 FB feed that Murphy is going to enforce mandates after the election. Typical nonsense from the right.


ETA
Jerry Marzarella is actually touting it as a Project Veritas story. Jean Leimbach is another screen name. Look up Project Veritas Video NJ Governor.

It's total bullshit. I won't give those asswipes a 'link' on the web.
