James O’Keefe, members of the O’Keefe Media Group and other journalists were violently attacked on Skid Row on Friday.
O’Keefe and other journalists confronted petitioners who were engaging in a cash for ballots scheme when all hell broke loose.
A cameraman was punched in the face and others were pepper-sprayed.
“My team, myself & @camhigby were just violently assaulted on Skid Row, my camera crew were punched in the neck and face, we were pepper sprayed, but thankfully just escaped. Some members of our team had to run 10 blocks to get out,” James O’Keefe said.
“We were in the heart of Skid Row confronting the petitioners who @Savsays and my team caught on tape illegally offering drugs for ballot signatures,” O’Keefe said.
The O’Keefe Media Group on Tuesday released part one of its investigation into a California elections fraud cash for ballots scheme.
James O’Keefe and his team of journalists went undercover on Skid Row in Los Angeles posing as homeless people.
‘Petitioners’ told the undercover journalists that they are paid between $7-$10 per signature. Some of them earn up to $1,000 per day.
“California NGOs Encourage Fake Addresses To Homeless People To Sign Petitions & Register Voters, A State & Federal Felony. Footage Shows 28 Instances Of Cash Changing Hands For Ballot Signatures & Voter Registration Forms,” they said.
