Video: Former ACORN CEO Bertha Lewis Led Away In Handcuffs

It is not the criminal indictment you were hoping to see. Bertha Lewis was arrested at a pro-illegal immigrant rally in NYC Monday. ACORN had no respect for our laws. It is not surprising Bertha Lewis is pro-illegal. The sight of her in handcuffs does stir wishful thinking.

ACORN is Still Alive?

This is disturbing news. After receiving news of ACORN's impending bankruptcy last month, many Americans thought we had driven a stake through the heart of ACORN's fraud. Now, Bertha Lewis has said in an interview,

"We're still alive. We're limping along. We're on life support,"

AP reported:

The head of activist group ACORN came to a federal court Tuesday to observe a legal fight over its funding...

"We're still alive. We're limping along. We're on life support," Lewis said in an interview just after a government lawyer asked a federal appeals court to temporarily block a judge's ruling that it was unconstitutional for Congress to cut funding to ACORN.

Hopefully, the courts will pull the plug on ACORN's funding once and for all.

White House Records Show Private Residence Visit by ACORN CEO

According to the White House visitor's log, ACORN CEO Bertha Lewis visited President Obama's residence one week before the sting videos were released. There is no record of her returning since that date.

Big Government reported:

You can scroll through the list of records on the White House site OR you can download the raw data. Interestingly, the full download uncovers almost 30,000 records, including many from outside the mid-September time-frame detailed on the White House site. In other words, only the records from the specific two week time period are viewable on the White House site. Many other visitor records were released today…they are just much harder to find.

Like, for example, the visitor records for Bertha Lewis.

Darrell Issa fires back at Bertha Lewis

ACORN CEO Bertha Lewis just doesn't get it. In a speech to the National Press Club, Lewis said she wanted to “set the record straight.” Then, she accused Republicans of "McCarthyism."

“This form of modern-day ACORN McCarthyism has got to stop,” she told reporters.

Big Government reported:

WASHINGTON. D.C. – House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Ranking Member Darrell Issa (R-CA) issued the following statement today in response to comments made by ACORN CEO Bertha Lewis at the National Press Club where she accused Republicans of ACORN McCarthyism:

“Was it Republicans who embezzled millions from within their own organization and have yet to report the embezzlement to the IRS or Labor Department? Was it Republicans who conducted the internal review that highlighted the lack of firewalls between their charitable and political activities? Was it Republicans who hired a man convicted of multiple counts of conspiracy and money laundering to raise funds and register voters in Oklahoma? The fact that ACORN’s leadership refuses to even acknowledge and accept responsibility for the state of their organization is disturbing and brings into question the sincerity of ACORN’s pledge to reform their organization.”
