James E. O'Keefe III is a conservative activist and journalist in the United States. He founded The Centurion (cited as its Godfather) while attending Rutgers College in 2004.
ACORN video controversy
In September 2009, O'Keefe collaborated with Hannah Giles to produce video that purported ACORN staffers to be giving housing advice to a "prostitute and her pimp." That video was published to BigGovernment.com, which led to a subsequent posting on Fox News and Wall Street Journal. This resulted in the termination of ACORN's participation in the 2010 United States Census. The video also led to a United States Senate vote to end Housing and Urban Development funding to ACORN,. Bertha Lewis, ACORN's chief organizer, has threatened both him and Fox News with a lawsuit.
