Unfortunately for O’Keefe, the plan didn’t work, and Boudreau left him without exchanging much conversation.
CNN was tipped off before O’Keefe could complete his goal, and Boudreau didn’t accept his invitation to record their conversation or go on his sailboat.
The reason O’Keefe wanted to punk Boudreau is not confirmed, but reports suggest that it was simply to embarrass the reporter as well as the news network.
Watch the video below, where Abbie Boudreau explains how she avoided getting ‘punked’.
