The Man Behind the Planned Parenthood Sting Videos

David Daleiden plans to release about four more tapes, hoping to stoke the political firestorm.

And his strategy is playing out exactly as intended.

David Daleiden, founder of the Center for Medical Progress, wanted to ensure the sting videos accusing the women’s health organization of illegally profiting from the sale of fetal tissue had staying power beyond the “contemporary 24-hour news cycle.”

Probes of the group are underway in Congress and several states. And conservatives on the Hill are threatening to shut down the federal government if their demand for cuts are ignored.
