Yesterday, James O'Keefe held a fundraiser in Columbia for his windmill-tilting expedition against voter fraud. And a pretty big name showed up--South Carolina's attorney general, Alan Wilson. At the gathering, Wilson slammed the Justice Department for kiboshing South Carolina's voter ID law.
O'Keefe told the gathering he intends to make more videos, in which he pledged to "actually catch voter fraud as it actually happens."
"We plan to actually catch non-citizens voting," O'Keefe said, but he didn't say where or when he thought that might happen.
Wilson lauded O'Keefe and criticized the Justice Department's intervention in the South Carolina case.
"What the Justice Department did was deny South Carolina voters the protection of law," he said.
So Wilson's concern about the law is so great that he is willing to appear with a guy who thinks nothing of using the name of a man
who had barely been in the grave in order to vote. Or of replying to a routine inquiry about Project Veritas' nonprofit status by
illegally gaining access to two NYU profs' offices. Or of
tampering with a U.S. Senator's phones. Or of cobbling together misleading and borderline libelous videos in an attempt to produce "gotcha" moments of librul activists.
I admit, I'm not at all surprised at the kind of lunacy that takes place 20 minutes south of me on I-77. But if Wilson has no qualms about appearing with a slimeball like O'Keefe, it says more than even we suspected about what passes for leadership in South Carolina.
