WASHINGTON
(AP) = The right-wing activist whose Project Veritas organization
recently attempted to plant a false story in the Washington Post has
been honored by a conservative religious organization with an award
presented to him by the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
James
O'Keefe received the Impact Award on Wednesday night from the United in
Purpose organization in a ceremony at Washington's Trump International
Hotel. He was presented the award by Virginia Thomas, a tea
party-affiliated activist and consultant.
O'Keefe tweeted a photo of Thomas handing him the award.
Project
Veritas made headlines recently for its guerrilla tactics in defense of
conservative causes. The Washington Post recently revealed an apparent
sting operation designed to discredit the newspaper by planting a false
story about Republican Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore.
