James O’Keefe On Hannity: ‘This Is A Huge Misunderstanding’

Appearing tonight as a guest on Hannity, James O’Keefe gave his first interview since getting arrested in the New Orleans office of Senator Mary Landrieu. Despite repeated efforts by Sean Hannity to get some specifics, O’Keefe declined to share any details about his arrest since he is still subject to an ongoing investigation. That’s not to say that its not a fascinating video.

O’Keefe did admit to “posing as something that he (was) not”, in order to, as he said, “get to the truth.” He also repeatedly defended the behavior as something that other investigative journalists have been doing for years, to which Hannity unironically chimed in “like Catch A Predator?” Despite this apparent set back, O’Keefe remains undeterred, and claims to be starting new projects soon. He ended the interview by saying, “My goal is to expose truth, to expose corruption until its gone.”
