WASHINGTON D.C. (YBH.ME) – In a rather odd turn of events, a second undercover videotape exposing alleged corruption and criminality at ACORN has been released by BigGovernment.com’s James O’Keefe today.

Yesterday, the upstart website caused a stir when it released hidden camera footage of Baltimore-area ACORN officials giving a purported pimp and prostitute advice on how to cheat on their taxes and claim underage prostitutes as dependents.
Both ACORN employees involved in the incident were fired. ACORN also released a statement claiming that the video was an attempt to smear ACORN, and that undercover teams attempted similar stunts at three other ACORN offices.
The so-called stunts were successful in at least one other office, as evidenced by the videotape released today. The second tape shows events in a Washington D.C. office of ACORN. In the tape, an ACORN employee tells O’Keefe and his counterpart Hannah Giles, “she’s not going to put on (the loan application) that she’s doing prostitution … she doesn’t have to…. You don’t have to sit back and tell people what you do.” The Baltimore tape contains much of the same advice.
ACORN has not released a statement in regard to the content of the second videotape.
