Creamer tries to explain away the undercover video

Thursday, Oct 20, 2016 - Posted by Rich Miller

* Bob Creamer talked to the Sun-Times about the now infamous O’Keefe undercover video

Creamer told the Chicago Sun-Times that O’Keefe’s allegations that he and his firm had a role in inciting violence at Trump events “are completely untrue.” … A female activist in the Project Veritas Action video identified as Zulema Rodriguez told an unidentified interviewer using a hidden camera that she had a hand in organizing protests at a Trump rally at the UIC Pavilion last March. … Creamer said Rodriguez was organizing anti-Trump protests around the UIC event but wasn’t working for him at the time. […]

White House visitor logs show Creamer has made 340 visits since Obama took office in January 2009.

Creamer told the Sun-Times, “The Obama White House has regular meetings of progressive organizations every week. Lots of people go, including me.”

Explaining the video scenes that included him, Creamer said he thought he was talking to a man who was a potential large donor to Democratic causes. In reality, that man was posing as a donor and secretly recording Creamer. […]

Project Veritas also was able to plant an intern in Creamer’s Washington, D.C., office to secretly video workers. Creamer said she posed as the niece of the fake potential donor, who asked Creamer to give her a job.

He gave her a job before he got a check? That’s awful trusting of him.

    OK Bob. You’ve always been straight up in the past. /s
    Can’t believe this guy is anywhere outside of a swamp or reptile house. He’s a complete creep.


  2. - wordslinger - Thursday, Oct 20, 16 @ 2:06 pm:

    Dude, you got burned by O’Keefe, the Insp. Clouseau of dirty tricksters.

    Maybe you should just sit quietly and reflect for a while.

    Why is this goofball giving interviews? Arrogance. Not helpful to the causes he supposedly supports. Digging his hole deeper and dragging other people down into it.


  4. - A guy - Thursday, Oct 20, 16 @ 2:13 pm:

    Seriously. Is it not amazing that these creepy sleazebags can’t seem to see each other (or smell each other) coming?


  5. - walker - Thursday, Oct 20, 16 @ 2:22 pm:

    Word’s being nice to Creamer.

    Don’t even think about surfacing until after the election. Every time you talk to the press, it gives them reason to repeat the original charge, or play the edited tape. Your reputation isn’t to be protected, your candidates’ are.


  6. - pool boy - Thursday, Oct 20, 16 @ 2:36 pm:

    He met with the president once a week for almost 8 years. Amazing, simply amazing.


  7. - Yeah OK - Thursday, Oct 20, 16 @ 2:39 pm:

    Creamer.
    Quit talking.
    Don’t dig yourself a deeper hole.


  8. - LizPhairTax - Thursday, Oct 20, 16 @ 2:39 pm:

    pool boy,

    are you sure all those meetings are with the President and not just visits to the White House? Asking sincerely.


  9. - jon r - Thursday, Oct 20, 16 @ 2:39 pm:

    Just locker room talk


  10. - wordslinger - Thursday, Oct 20, 16 @ 2:49 pm:

    –He met with the president once a week for almost 8 years.–

    Says who?

    A White House visit does not a presidential meeting make.


  11. - pool boy - Thursday, Oct 20, 16 @ 3:03 pm:

    Donald Trump told me! LOL.


  12. - Michelle Flaherty - Thursday, Oct 20, 16 @ 3:17 pm:

    - White House visitor logs show Creamer has made 340 visits since Obama took office in January 2009.-

    In all fairness, as soon as the tour ends, Creamer runs back around and gets back in line.


  13. - Gooner - Thursday, Oct 20, 16 @ 3:29 pm:

    Unless he’s offering a word by word discussion to prove that videos are faked (or edited such that the result is effectively faked) he needs to stop talking.

    I sort of amazed that the guy is not toxic at this point. He must do great work to make up for all of the negative coverage he brings.


  14. - Trapped in the 'burbs - Thursday, Oct 20, 16 @ 4:18 pm:

    Jan hires the homeless to stand outside of polling places for every election. He gets paid by the democratic party to do various tasks. They have a cottage industry tied to the “progressive” movement. She sees everybody as either a friend or an enemy. A friend becomes an enemy if they disagree with her on any issue. At least Sidney Yates stayed in Washington.


  15. - Anonymous - Thursday, Oct 20, 16 @ 4:35 pm:

    Bob and this other guy have embarrassed Democrats and progressives. While O’Keefe videos are normally heavily edited to produce a desired effect, some of these didn’t need to. They’re that bad. He need to be exiled by party leaders and party activists.


  16. - James Knell - Thursday, Oct 20, 16 @ 6:33 pm:

    “Who sent you?” Then you check who sent them.

    Know who you are dealing with or prepare to be slimed.

    Sadly, you can’t even get drunk and talk big in a Wisconsin bar anymore as ex-GOP State Senator Michael Ellis.


  17. - Blue dog dem - Thursday, Oct 20, 16 @ 7:43 pm:

    Is this behavior any different than the stunts Donald and Hillary have pulled off?


  18. - Seymourkid - Thursday, Oct 20, 16 @ 8:03 pm:

    O’Keefe and his videos have zero credibility and are not worthy of consideration.


  19. - P. - Thursday, Oct 20, 16 @ 8:39 pm:

    O’Keefe is trash but hey give him credit, he picked a PERFECT target.


  20. - cannon649 - Thursday, Oct 20, 16 @ 11:11 pm:

    Keep trash O’Keefe that is the problem.

    Fact is ex con Creamer got caught again and he can not spin it - timing is everything.

    As several have said he should go far away
