ACORN Pimp Got To Pay The Man!

It hard out here for a pimp.

The controversial white nationalist and his group Project Veritas must fork over $120,000 to a Democratic Party activist group they used in a publishing of a fake video.

The company Democracy Partners, a consulting firm for the Democratic Party's activism and engagement was secretly recorded by operatives working for Project Veritas.

They lied about their credentials and used a phony contract deal to infiltrate the consulting firm.

A federal jury has found the white nationalist group liable. They used deceptive tactics and were held liable for violating wiretapping laws and misrepresenting itself in an undercover effort to target Democratic political consultants.

Jurors in Washington on Thursday awarded $120,000 to a member of Democracy Partners, co-founded by self-described progressive strategist Robert Creamer.

Democracy Partners claimed it had been infiltrated by a Project Veritas operative who lied about her name and background to obtain an internship during the 2016 presidential campaign, and secretly recorded conversations while working there.

The firm and Creamer said Project Veritas used "heavily edited" footage in videos that falsely suggested they conspired to incite violence at Washed Up 45 rallies and schemed to promote voter fraud.

The ACORN Pimp's girl cost the company $120,000.

According to the complaint, the espionage cost the plaintiffs, who supported the former president's Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton, more than $500,000 of contracts.

Project Veritas said it did nothing wrong and will appeal.

The Mamaroneck, New York-based group has long characterized its work as journalism, and said the verdict threatens the use of hidden cameras by investigative journalists.

"Project Veritas will continue to fight for every journalist's right to news gather, investigate, and expose wrongdoing - regardless of how powerful the investigated party may be," the ACORN Pimp said in a statement.

U.S. District Judge Paul Friedman, who oversaw the trial, will assess damages based on jurors' separate finding that the operative, Allison Maass, intended to breach a fiduciary duty, according to the verdict form.

Friedman has yet to rule on the defendants' arguments that they should prevail as a matter of law.

"This case implicates fundamental First Amendment issues. The folks on my left prefer to ignore that fact," the defendants' lawyer Paul Calli said in a statement. "We will see what the finish line brings."
