Twitchy reported last week on investigative journalist James O’Keefe’s upcoming undercover video and how the subject matter of this new story had him “afraid for [his] life on this one.”
Now we know why he’s so scared…
O’Keefe posted the promised video earlier this morning and it’s a bombshell report on Al Sharpton and his dealings with the families of Eric Garner, Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin. In summary, there’s not much love for Al “all about the money” Sharpton:

The entire video is a little over seven minutes long and well worth your time. O’Keefe’s interviewer ends up getting multiple representatives on tape all angry over Sharpton’s focus on money and questionable tactics:
And here’s an excerpt from that New York Post write-up:
Al Sharpton is all about the Benjamins, a daughter of police chokehold victim Eric Garner claims in a bombshell videotape.
Erica Snipes tees off on the reverend as interested primarily in money during a secretly recorded conversation by controversial conservative activist James O’Keefe’s group, Project Veritas.
One of O’Keefe’s investigators poses as a Garner supporter with a hidden camera during a protest last month at the St. George Ferry Terminal on Staten Island.
“You think Al Sharpton is kind of like a crook in a sense?” the investigator is heard asking Garner’s oldest daughter.
“He’s about this,” Snipes replies, rubbing her fingers together.
“He’s about money with you?” the undercover asks.
“Yeah,” Snipes responds.

Criticism of O’Keefe is about what you’d expect and we’ll certainly hear more as people start watching the video:

and as always with james okeefe videos, probably a chopped up edited deception.
