John Fetterman, D-Pa., would be comfortable with eliminating the 2nd Amendment entirely, meaning that government could ban – even confiscate – any sort of a gun from citizens.

That’s according to a video released by O’Keefe Media Group, which dispatched an undercover reporter to talk to – and record – special assistant Luke Borwegan, whose assignment, he says, is basically to be between Fetterman and other staff members.

Borwegan is the aide who carries around an iPad programmed to transcribe audio – so the senator can read what others say.

It’s one of the multiple issues that have arisen since Fetterman suffered a stroke during his campaign.

“You’re not quoting me,” Borwegan warns during the interview.

He describes how Fetterman, who he reports owns multiple guns himself, would “like probably” be comfortable with “overturning the Second Amendment.”

“He’s 100% for gun control … banning automatic rifles … red flag laws,” Borwegan explains. “He owns like a lot of guns.”

“Assault weapons. He’d be okay with overturning the Second Amendment probably, so nobody has guns at all.”

There have been a number of issues that have developed, possibly as a result of his stroke.

He is, for example, dealing with major cognitive issues that prompted him to set up the iPad system for him to read the comments from others, so he doesn’t have to rely on his auditory processing to know what’s going on.

He also repeatedly has struggled with making statements – often delivering during Senate hearings a literal word salad of unconnected thoughts.

Further, his office has taken to issuing statements on what he “said,” that reflect highly edited versions of his actual statements.

And he was hospitalized for weeks for depression.

Of late, he’s been criticized for wearing hoodies and shorts to the U.S. Senate, which has a strict dress code that doesn’t include hoodies and shorts.

Fetterman’s prior political experience was as Democratic mayor of small-town Braddock, Pennsylvania, and for a time as the state’s lieutenant governor.

His cognitive issues mean that having his staff control the messaging about him is important, and Borwegan explained in detail.

Fetterman’s office only allows interviews with “journalists” who “will say exactly what you f****** want them to.”

“When you’re so exclusive with who you give interviews to, it’s like…the ones (journalists) you pick will just say exactly like you f****** want them to, you know?” he explained.

“They’re (journalists) just like puppets though. I only pick reporters who will like, who we know will paint the narrative the way we want.”

He said many journalists want a story about Fetterman, but “we only give it to certain people.”

Borwegan continued:

Like if they’re reporters we like, it’s good to have a good relationship with them. We have our press operations like a f—– work of art, like the way that like reporters, we can tell them to go f— themselves, and they can’t do anything, because they need us more than we need them, because, like everyone wants a f—— story about John Fetterman.

And we only give it to certain people. I only pick reporters who will like, who we know will paint the narrative the way we want. So it’s like when John checks himself in for depression, we tell one reporter in particular because like they will hit facts that we want them to because we pick reporters who like, we know will give us like a good treatment. They’re desperate for an interview with John.

He then explained his version of “access journalism,” which is when “reporters who will basically tell whatever f—— story their subject wants, as long as they get the interview.”

He identified some qualifying journalists as being with Pod Save America, which he said is was run by former Barack Obama staffers and reporter Kara Swisher.

“She’s like one of the best,” he said.

The James O’Keefe Effect: Citizen Journalist Uncovers More Damning Democrat Money Laundering Evidence https://americanconservativemovement.com/the-james-okeefe-effect-citizen-journalist-uncovers-more-damning-democrat-money-laundering-evidence/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/the-james-okeefe-effect-citizen-journalist-uncovers-more-damning-democrat-money-laundering-evidence/#respond Sat, 01 Apr 2023 08:03:12 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/?p=191388 History may prove that James O’Keefe getting ousted from Project Veritas, the company that he founded, was the best thing to happen to both O’Keefe and the nation. Now with his new organization, O’Keefe Media Group (playfully dubbed “OMG”), he is already making waves while Project Veritas hemorrhages donors.

His latest investigation is looking into highly potential political contribution laundering through Democrat-affiliated donations portal Act Blue. In his first video, he followed leads to Maryland where he discovered elderly Democrat donors who seem to be oblivious to their names and addresses being used to make thousands of donations to Democrats.

The video above is the second video, this time with a citizen journalist from Wisconsin who heeded O’Keefe’s call for more people to step out and take action. A detective with Brightline Investigations for Election Watch found more elderly people in Wisconsin who appear to be the proxies through which money is being laundered to Democrat candidates and leftist causes.

In some cases, donations were made under the names and addresses of these people multiple times per day for years.

What the videos do not explain is what all this likely means. We are not part of the investigation and have not verified the information, nor do we have inside information about what’s going on. With that said, it’s very obvious. Someone located these people through public records, noting that they were donating through Act Blue multiple times. One lady said she donated around once per month. Another gentleman said he may have donated 800 times over the last seven years. FEC records indicate he donated 8,000 times.

A group of people is coordinating to make difficult-to-track small donations in the names of these elderly people. They use anonymous forms of payment such as Visa gift cards, plug in the names and addresses of the elderly people who are likely not checking the FEC records regularly if at all, and spreading these donations out to multiple candidates and organizations.

The question that will be challenging to answer is who is behind it. We know it’s a wealthy group that is expanding well beyond donation limits without diving into dark money. It seems possible if not likely that the money is foreign; going through the small donation process and laundering it through unsuspecting elderly people at this magnitude requires a serious desire for anonymity and a who lot of money.

The key to stopping this will be changing donation laws to require better validation. Organizations like Act Blue do the bare minimum record-keeping required by the FEC. Donations should be verified when they reach a certain threshold; there is no way our government should see someone averaging four donations per day for seven years without an alarm bell going off. The payment methods should be confirmed after a certain  point.

But the real “feel good” part of this story is seeing O’Keefe not only back in the saddle, but inspiring others to do the same. It took him years to build Project Veritas to the news organization it was before he was ousted. He doesn’t have that kind of time to build from scratch. America doesn’t have that kind of time, either.

His calls for others to do what he’s doing may be the fastest way to build up the citizen journalist army he needs. He even explains HOW to do it. Unlike Project Veritas which focused mostly on undercover reporting and whistleblowers, this first investigation from OMG has cameras and microphones visible. This makes it easier for others to get involved.

If this can be exposed and the laws are changed as a result, this could be O’Keefe’s biggest action yet. There may be “bigger” stories that he’s broken over the years, but this may result in more than a few people getting fired. This could turn into real action that puts an end to one of the most heinous subversions of our elections in play today.
