WASHINGTON — In a new undercover video, an ACORN worker in California is caught boasting how she killed her husband, says she speaks daily with prominent politicians, and tells a visitor posing as a pimp that it’s OK to funnel proceeds from prostitution into a future political campaign.
“I have some experience in how not to get caught,” says the woman identified as Teresa Kaelke, an ACORN field organizer in San Bernardino.
It’s the fourth sting operation to expose workers for ACORN — which gets millions in subsidies from the federal government — plotting to help the couple, posing as a pimp and his working girlfriend, get a mortgage to set up a whorehouse.
In the latest video, Kaelke tells how she plotted and killed her abusive husband.
“I shot him. I shot him, yeah,” she tells her disbelieving visitors. “I just picked up the gun and said, ‘F- – – you,’ and I shot him,” Kaelke says. “And he died. Right there.”
ACORN issued a statement last night saying she hadn’t killed her husband, who is “alive and living near Barstow, CA.” The statement said Kaelke was playacting the whole time because she was suspicious of the couple.
She says in the undercover tape that she also planned the killing.
“Before that, I had done — laid some groundwork,” Kaelke says. “You know, I went to the domestic-violence shelter and I pleaded my case with them so that everybody in town was knowing this was happening.”
The undercover videos are the brainchild of conservative activists James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles, who targeted ACORN with its extensive ties to Democratic politicians and union organizations.
In the latest tape, when undercover “pimp” O’Keefe tells Kaelke that he wants to go into politics and would like to use proceeds from his prostitution ring, she doesn’t bat an eye.
“You think every congressman, every legislator, do you think that even Obama, our new president, or any of them ever, ever actually put down every single resource, where they got their money?” she asks O’Keefe.
Kaelke says she speaks regularly with Democratic politicians, including Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.).
The explosive new video was posted yesterday at BigGovernment.com, a new Web site started by Andrew Breitbart. Portions were first aired yesterday morning on Fox News Channel host Glenn Beck’s radio program.
As in previous tapes, the ACORN worker actively advises the couple on how to set up and even run their brothel.
Giles and O’Keefe tell Kaelke that they have faced “discrimination” in trying to get a mortgage to start their whorehouse.
“Well, I bet you have,” responds Kaelke, commiserating over the “bunch of narrow-minded, one-sided” people out there who had refused to help open the den of prostitution.
“If they were liberal, they’d be helping you,” she tells them.
Kaelke also says she speaks from experience.
“I ran a service, yeah, you know,” she says proudly, with a touch of coyness. Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss, she says, “is my hero.”
