Earlier this week before the last presidential debate of this election, Democratic consultants, Creamer and Foval were caught on tape talking about how their organization tries to agitate riots and chaos at Trump rallies and other Republican events. These videos have been viewed by more than eight million people on YouTube, as it a increasingly controversial topic.
The legitimacy of these videos have been thoroughly questioned. The group that produced these videos, Project Veritas, is known to be very conservative. On top of that they are known to have posted questionable videos in the past.
Foval is claiming that the only reason he stated these things was to impress a potential donor. On one hand, Foval claims that his group trained a 68 year old women to create chaos at Trump’s rally in North Carolina, but on the other hand the woman in question claims that she simply attended this rally since it was located close to her home.
If true, these project Hillary, her campaign, and Democrat party in quite a negative light. First the DNC was caught trying to damage Senator Bernie Sanders Presidential bid, and now the Democrat Party is attempting to sabotage numerous Trump events, what is next?
- For someone who goes into such graphic detail, is it hard to debate that this video is false?
- Do you think this incident can cost Hillary the election?
- Are these acceptable tactics in a Democratic election?
- Do you believe these videos are legitimate because of the questionable reputation of the producers?
- The article claims that Bush took part in similar actions during the recount in 2000, so does it make it ok if both sides have done it?
Although Project Veritas is known for being an ultra conservative group, which would lead me to believe this video is biased, I think it is hard to argue to validity of this video. Foval and Creamer blatantly talk about sabotaging Trump rallies and Republican events in general. If the videos were pixelated or had bad audio quality then I would most definitely question the legitimacy of the video. But this is not the case.
ReplyDeleteI don't think that this incident will be harmful to Clinton's campaign. Most of the viewers are most likely conservatives and therefore don't take away from her voters. Also many of the Democrats who see this still dislike Trump enough to the point that they are still willing to vote for Hillary. Finally, its not Hillary directly saying these things so it is harder to associate this directly with her.
