CAM HIGBY AND JAMES O’KEEFE CHARGED WITH FELONIES IN MINNESOTA
Conservative influencers Cam Higby and James O’Keefe have both been charged with felony identity theft and unlawful voting in Hennepin County following their August 11 stunt at Minnesota polling locations.
According to prosecutors, the two disguised themselves in Muslim clothing, used fake accents and impersonated registered Minnesota voters without their knowledge or permission while attempting to demonstrate vulnerabilities in the state’s election system.
The pair filmed their encounters and published the footage online, claiming they were exposing potential voter fraud.
Neither man actually cast a ballot, but prosecutors say Minnesota law prohibits misrepresenting your identity when applying for one, regardless of whether a vote is ultimately cast.
Higby previously defended the stunt as journalism intended to test election security. Both men are scheduled to appear in court in November.
The charges were announced Wednesday, October 28, by Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty
@JamieMetzl Awful.
Just awful, man.
Just call it what it is and stop with this horseshit about "the values of our nation".
JFC.
This is the kind of post that goes a long way towards explaining why I feel nauseous when people call me a Democrat.
Alex Pretti's mother: The federal government went on TV and lied about Alex. They tried to slander Alex to cover up their crime. We want to clear our son's name, and the world to understand who Alex really was. We want our son's killers brought to justice once and for all. We are begging for the Department of Justice to hold the men who murdered our son accountable for what they did.
If we had a nickel for every time a Bolsonaro fled to the United States after losing an election, we’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened twice. https://t.co/XBSQl1KqhX
Russell Brand’s trial is devastating. Testimony describes him as a rabid animal, demanding sex every few hours from whoever happened to be around, and taking it regardless of consent
Brand’s defense is that women knew he was a degenerate maniac, so they should have expected it by being in a room with him (several allege he attacked them in public and tried to drag them into bathroom stalls)
This is separate from FIVE disturbing allegations in Channel 4 Dispatches. Brand has zero regard for women as human beings - I can’t even imagine how many victims there truly are
Blows my mind that so many people peddle his lunacy portraying him as a truth-telling martyr being smeared by the establishment - and buy his newfound religious hucksterism
Makes sense he’s leapt into the movement of sexual offenders and pedophiles, where he belongs (other than prison)
