Like, they would totally take him back! Swearsies!
Project Veritas said on Feb. 23 that founder James O’Keefe could return as it asked supporters to “give us a chance” following O’Keefe’s ouster.
So the board of Project Veritas first claimed that they were suspending O'Keefe for bad behavior towards employees. When that got push back by employees and donors, the story changed to...
Let's just emphasize that part. THE STORY CHANGED.
So the story changed to "He was misusing funds". They put out a list. Included on that list was that he had misused funds to pay for his wedding.
James O'Keefe is not married. Do you see a problem here, or is it just me?
Another claim in their list was that O'Keefe took too many "black cars". I.e., Uber rides. Ummmm.... How else are you supposed to get around when you're an investigative journalist? I mean, I suppose you could rent a car, but depending on time, location, etc you're looking at no less than $100 a day plus taxes and fees and insurance. Maybe Uber's more than that. I don't know. But this item just seems silly to me.
O'Keefe gave a speech to Veritas employees that got leaked. And then the donors started to leave. Some donors are suing to get their money back, because they were wined and dined in January and then the board ousted O'Keefe in February, and the donors are saying "Nope, you asked for our money in bad faith."
Twitter followers jumped ship. YouTube subscribers jumped ship. Donors started jumping ship. Here's the thing: THERE IS NO PROJECT VERITAS WITHOUT JAMES O'KEEFE. I don't know much about the board members, but I know that A) any non-profit MUST have a board, and B) at least one of them has been a failure at every thing he's tried. And he's rewarded with more opportunities than most of us will ever see in a lifetime.
As far as I'm concerned, Project Veritas without James O'Keefe is a dead end. They're done. O'Keefe was the heart and soul of PV, and the donors knew that. They donated precisely because James O'Keefe was dedicated to PV, and without him the donations are going to dry up worse than with the Clinton Global Initiative when Cankles lost in 2016. The board members fucked up.
James O'Keefe will succeed where ever he goes. These board members will be nothing more than failures. Again. Sadly, they probably won't ever learn their lesson.
