Democrat says Project Veritas infiltrated her campaign in Va.'s tight 7th District

Source: Washington Post

RICHMOND — A conservative group that creates undercover “sting” videos infiltrated the campaign of Abigail Spanberger, a Democrat in a tight race with Rep. Dave Brat in Virginia’s 7th District.

The campaign said a young woman working for Project Veritas posed as a Democratic volunteer and spent every day over the past several weeks in Spanberger’s suburban Richmond campaign office, performing basic office tasks — and peppering her office mates with questions that eventually raised red flags.

Campaign staffers on Wednesday confronted her and asked her to leave, a video released by the campaign shows.

I knew that name sounded familiar. Wonder if she stole any documents from the Spanberger campaign.

O'Keefe's mole, Marisa Jorge, 'adopted a pseudonym, “Marissa Perez,” and pretended to be a student at the University of #Michigan to gain access to @AFTunion Michigan’s offices as an intern.She allegedly used that access to steal documents and spy on employees.'

9. They are breaking laws and committing fraud all the time yet never held to account.

This disgusting behavior cannot be continually overlooked and rewarded. After we win the house in 6 days this group must be investigated by congress in the next session.

I'm still so ashamed that O'Keefe shut down ACORN via fraud and we did nothing. If it was a Republican organization who was being unfairly persecuted it would have been all hands on deck and 24/7 coverage until they won. Starting on November 6th we need the same resolve.
