He paid a woman to lie to the Washington post about Roy Moore paying for her to have an abortion.  He was hoping to prove that WaPo would publish anything bad about Moore.  (1) this is spreading lies, (2) WaPo didn't bite, and he proceeded with this project anyways, posting it all over his social media.  

You have to understand that any story spreads in layers.  The headline spreads the farthest, and the details have the shortest spread.  Misinformation occurs when the details contradict the headline - people in the periphery gain a false impression which is only contradicted by details they will never actually see.  Understanding that, the headline of O'Keefe's effort here was "we found a woman that Roy Moore paid to abort his baby".  So this damages the candidate he claims to support.  Then one of the details is "WaPo is ignoring this story" which actually makes the media he claims to hate look good; they refused to publish something that wasn't sufficiently corroborated.  

What I am trying to tell you is silencing fools like O'Keefe is good for conservatism.  Take the artillery away from the guys who don't understand the layout of the battlefield.
