“If you tell anyone I told you that..."
According to the footage published by O’Keefe’s Project Veritas, however, Pryor’s true feelings on the matter are much different.
Speaking to the chairperson of a pro-gay Arkansas Young Democrats organization, an undercover investigator posing as a homosexual potential campaign donor expressed his “misgivings” about Pryor regarding his stated position on traditional marriage. Activist Bailey Rae Bibb’s response was telling.
She confirmed that Pryor is “not going to come out and say, ‘Oh yea, I support it,’” though she assured the man that his answer would be different in a more comfortable environment.
“If you ask him personally, like, like we are talking right now,” she insisted, he would make it clear that he is “not against” gay marriage.
Of course, Bibb made it clear that she wanted to keep her remark confidential.
“If you tell anyone I told you that,” she warned, “I’m going to find you and I’ll kill you.”
The investigative documentarian subsequently called Bibb to see if she would stick to her initial assurance that Pryor is a closeted supporter of gay marriage.
“To the best of my knowledge,” she said, “from what I’ve asked about, yeah.”
Pressed for specific comments Pryor has made in private, Bibb, who described the senator as a family friend, replied that he does not think gays should be discriminated against regarding marriage equality.
Another Democrat Party representative, Laura Campbell, was also caught on camera explaining that Pryor cannot express his true feelings as a candidate.
“He can’t say everything he would like to say to get elected,” she said, noting that he “has to play politics.”
Recent polling shows Pryor’s opponent, Tom Cotton, enjoying a growing lead in the race, which could give the GOP one more Senate seat in its quest to retake the chamber.
