Project Veritas targets environmentalists

Republican activist with ties to Project Veritas infiltrates the Sierra Club The Sierra Club, one of the nation’s oldest and most prominent environmental groups, was infiltrated earlier this year by a right-wing activist with alleged connections to Project Veritas, a conservative undercover video production company that has faced multiple lawsuits and criminal charges. Southern California conservative activist Ernie White, using the alias Earl White, began volunteering in the office of the Los Angeles chapter of the Sierra Club in April in an attempt to undermine the organization’s work, according to the environmental group. By volunteering with the Sierra Club through an alias, White was hoping to use the environmental group’s name in order to gain access to federal campaigns during the midterm election cycle, Maggie Kash, communications director for the Sierra Club, told ThinkProgress in an exclusive interview.
