On Tuesday, Robert Creamer, the founder of the progressive consulting group Democracy Partners, resigned from his position, reported CNN. Creamer had been helping the Democratic National Committee with Clinton's presidential campaign. The other Democratic strategist, Scott Foval, appears in one of the videos and was fired Monday as national field director of Americans United for Change, which contracted with Democracy Partners, CNN reported.  

The videos were produced by conservative operative James O'Keefe and his group Project Veritas Action, who in 2009 produced a "sting" video that led to the downfall of progressive activist group Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, better known as ACORN. He has faced criticism for strategically editing videos to create a false portrayal of events.

In one of the edited, hidden-camera videos, Foval is allegedly seen discussing "to get some of these a------- to pop off," referring to Trump rally attendees.

In another, Foval is seen strategizing how to they might commit voter fraud in Wisconsin. “We've been bussing people in to deal with you f---kin' a--holes for 50 years, and we're not going to stop now,’” The Washington Post reported.

In 2013, O'Keefe settled a lawsuit for $100,000 by a former ACORN worker. In 2010, he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor for breaking into former Louisiana Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu's office to tamper with a phone.

The Democratic National Committee has tried to distance itself from the videos. It said in a statement, interim DNC Chairwoman Donna Brazile said:

"The practices described in the video by this temporary regional sub-contractor do not in any way comport with our long standing policies on organizing events, and those statements and sentiments do not represent the values that the Committee holds dear. We do not believe, or have any evidence to suggest, that the activities articulated in the video actually occurred."

In a Washington Post video, Trump reacted to the two videos.

Democracy Partners released this message on its Facebook page:
