Actually, they were fake
No, OKeefe was not dressed as a pimp and the woman was not dressed as a hooker. They filmed that outside and left it to you to assume that is what they were wearing.
Parts where ACORN told them no were edited out, as were the actual questions being asked.

It was a huge hoax

What does it matter what he was wearing? He asked questions about how to bring in underaged girls, the employees answered. No amount of your spin and denials will change that.
ACORN lost all of its public and private funding thanks to it being exposed as a corrupt leftwing organization. If the videos were all “fake” none of that would had happened.

Project Veritas is an American Right-wing activist group.[1][2][3][4] The group uses "disguises and hidden cameras to uncover supposed liberal bias and corruption".[1] The group is known for producing deceptively edited videos about media organizations and left-leaning groups.[5][2][6][7][8][9][10] In a 2018 book on propaganda and disinformation in U.S. politics, three Harvard University scholars refer to Project Veritas as a "right-wing disinformation outfit".[11]


Project Veritas was founded in 2010 by James O'Keefe.[12]

The organization has produced deceptively edited videos targeted against ACORN, NPR and others.[13][14][15] During the 2016 campaign, the organization falsely claimed to have shown that the Hillary Clinton campaign accepted illegal donations from foreign sources.[16] O'Keefe was sued for defamation by a man he wrongfully depicted as a "willing participant in an underage sex-trafficking scheme"; the suit led to a settlement in 2013, in which O'Keefe issued an apology and paid $100,000.[17]

In 2017, Project Veritas was caught in a failed attempt to trick the The Washington Post into posting a fabricated story about Roy Moore.[2][3][18][19] Rather than uncritically publish a story that accused Republican candidate Moore of impregnating a teenager, The Washington Post critically examined the story that they were presented with, checked the source, assessed her credibility and ultimately found that there was no merit to her claims, and that instead Project Veritas were trying to dupe The Washington Post.[11]

O'Keefe has been barred from fundraising for Project Veritas in Florida and other states because of his federal criminal record for entering a federal building under fraudulent pretenses.[20][21]


A Washington Post correspondent[who?] reported that O'Keefe "said he targeted ACORN for the same reasons that the political right does: its massive voter registration drives", and "Politicians are getting elected single-handedly due to this organization." ACORN mostly registered people from the Latino and African American communities.[27]

The videos were recorded during the summer of 2009[28] and appeared to show low-level ACORN employees in six cities providing advice to Giles and O'Keefe on how to avoid detection by authorities of tax evasion, human smuggling and child prostitution.[29] He framed the undercover recordings with a preface of him dressed in a "pimp" outfit, which he also wore in TV media interviews. This gave viewers, including the media, the impression that he had dressed that way when speaking to ACORN workers. However, he actually entered the ACORN offices in conservative street clothes (the sleeve of his dress shirt is visible on camera).[30] Furthermore, the ACORN employees involved reported his activities to the police after he left.[31] O'Keefe selectively edited and manipulated his recordings of ACORN employees, as well as distorted the chronologies. Several journalists and media outlets have expressed regret for not properly scrutinizing and vetting his work.[32][33]

On April 10, 2012, the political gossip site Wonkette reported that Andrew Breitbart had signed a $120,000 contract for "life rights" by O'Keefe and Giles based on the ACORN videos. The contract was paid in monthly increments of $5,000. Giles ultimately received $32,000 before parting ways with Breitbart over what she described in legal depositions as "a conflict of visions". O'Keefe ultimately received $65,000.[34]
Reception and lawsuit

After the videos were released through the fall of 2009, the U.S. Congress quickly voted to freeze federal funding to ACORN.[35] The Census Bureau and the IRS terminated their contract relationships with ACORN.[36] By December 2009, an external investigation of ACORN was published which cleared the organization of any illegality, while noting that its poor management practices contributed to unprofessional actions by some low-level employees.[37][38][39][40] In March 2010, ACORN announced it would dissolve due to loss of funding from government and especially private sources.[41]

On March 1, 2010, the district attorney for Brooklyn at that time[who?] found there was no criminal wrongdoing by the ACORN staff in New York.[42][43] In late March 2010, Clark Hoyt, then public editor for The New York Times, reviewed the videos, full transcripts and full audio. Hoyt wrote "The videos were heavily edited. The sequence of some conversations was changed. Some workers seemed concerned for Giles, one advising her to get legal help. In two cities, ACORN workers called the police. But the most damning words match the transcripts and the audio, and do not seem out of context."[44]


===============
So they used EDITED VIDEOS (lies) SECRETLY setting up situations, lying, recording, deceiving, to DESTROY liberal organizations....


ACORN was destroyed by these lies...

Actually, his “expose’s” have been repeatedly debunked.

It is scary that this is what conservatives consider credible journalism
