Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Kinda, I really don't like O'Keefe, but to me this shows some moral fortitude. Sure he's far right, but it seems protecting kid diddlers is too much.
You're assuming he's doing it for moral reasons rather than trying to produce a "shocking exposé" around an emotionally and politically charged set of current events for maximum engagement.
Maybe your right, maybe its profit, maybe its fame. TBH I like what he is saying because it benefits my political team in this moment. BUT this guys whole shtick is protect the children, AND he is going against his people. So maybe.
That's assuming a blackmail list or compendium of damning documents shielded from public disclosure by an insidious "Deep State" isn't an element of grander Qanon conspiracy theories that a shadowy cabal of deep state elites runs pedophile rings to extract adrenochrome. Or that we aren't talking about this now because Trump played up conspiracy theories to win the following of useful idiots who subscribe to them.
The press had reported for years on right-wing crackpots "doing their own research" & pulling wild shit out of nowhere. It's possible for a right-wing crackpot to pull an idea out their ass that happens to be true. It's also possible that unicorns exist on some planet in the universe.
Not sure why anyone outside those crackpot communities should feel convinced, though.
