James O'Keefe
Conservative activist and founder of the right-wing Project Veritas
James O'Keefe targets progressive organizations by surreptitiously recording them and then publishing deceptively edited videos to push a harmful narrative about them. He settled with a member of ACORN in a lawsuit over one of his video hoaxes and pleaded guilty to entering a federal building under false pretenses in a failed attempt to target a Democratic senator in 2010.
