Florida International University’

Will there be a Miami ACORN sting video after all?

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009 by George Bennett

Florida International University student Hannah Giles and guerrilla videographer James O’Keefe created a national uproar last month when they released a series of undercover videos showing ACORN workers in Baltimore, Washington, New York, San Diego and San Bernardino, Cal., offering advice on setting up a brothel and concealing the income.

Congress yanked federal money from the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, some ACORN workers lost their jobs and the left-leaning group pledged reforms.

Through it all, though, ACORN officials said the faux pimp and prostitute were kicked out of a Philadelphia office and said Giles was turned down when she made a solo visit to a Miami ACORN office.

Now O’Keefe and conservative Web host Andrew Breitbart are pushing back, posting an edited video on Breitbart’s BigGovernment.com site that disputes ACORN’s Philadelphia story.

Will there be a Miami video as well? Breitbart says there are more videos, but won’t reveal where they were shot.
