Conservative Activist OKeefe Claims Cuomo Targeting His Group - Conservative activist James OKeefe is accusing New York Gov. Andrew Cuomos administration of targeting his group with document requests and a subpoena, claiming the Democratic governors recent comments critical of conservatives arent simply words. OKeefe, whose Project Veritas is behind a series of hidden-camera investigations against left-leaning groups and causes, made the claims on the heels of the controversy over a recent Cuomo interview. In it, Cuomo blasted extreme conservatives who are right-to-life, pro-assault-weapon, anti-gay and said they have no place in New York. He later walked back his remarks, and said they were being taken out of context in the media. But OKeefe claimed that Cuomos government is acting on those words, revealing that the Department of Labor has hit his office in Westchester County, N.Y., with demands for financial documents for months. He compared it to IRS targeting of conservative groups nationwide.
