SANTA ROSA BEACH — The Walton County Republican Executive Committee's annual Lincoln Day Dinner on Oct. 22 will feature guest of honor and keynote speaker James E. O’Keefe III.
O’Keefe, the New York Times bestselling author of "Breakthrough: Our Guerilla War to Expose Fraud and Save Democracy" and the 2011 recipient of the Robert Novak Award for Journalist Excellence, was twice-named Fox News’ “Power Player of the Week” and listed as one of Forbes' “30 Under 30” for media moguls.
O’Keefe and his colleagues at Project Veritas are responsible for exposes that include:
●Voter fraud reports that inspired several states to reform election laws, forced resignations in Washington, and pushed FBI and Department of Justice officials to defend themselves before federal lawmakers.
●An investigation into the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN, which led to the group’s collapse.
●Investigations that caused the dismissal of a Planned Parenthood vice president; dismissal of National Public Radio executives; an Enroll America director to be fired; Medicaid worker re-trainings, an investigation into Battleground Texas; and Congressional field hearings into Obamacare navigator fraud.
●A 2014 investigation that transformed the discussion on national security. Dressed as Osama bin Laden, O’Keefe crossed the Rio Grande from Mexico into the United States.
