Conservative activist tied to false Roy Moore accuser scheduled to speak at SMU as purveyor of 'real news'

Julieta Chiquillo, Breaking News Reporter

James O'Keefe, the high-profile conservative activist who has declared a "guerrilla war" on the mainstream media, is scheduled to speak at Southern Methodist University on Wednesday in an event that bills him as a source of "real news."

A conservative student group booked O'Keefe before a bombshell report Monday in The Washington Post that revealed his nonprofit's apparent scheme to trick the paper into publishing a fake story about Roy Moore, the Alabama Republican accused of multiple instances of sexual misconduct.But the head of the group that is hosting O'Keefe, SMU Young Americans for Freedom, said on Tuesday that the invitation is not "100 percent endorsement" of everything O'Keefe does.

Grant Wolf, the group's founding chairman, said the public will have a chance to challenge O'Keefe during the question-and-answer portion of the event. About 100 people have expressed interest in attending, he said.

"We believe he has made some valuable contributions to journalism, and it is on that basis that we think he's worth being invited to speak," said Wolf, a senior at SMU.
