Project Veritas chieftain James O’Keefe says he’ll sue Twitter because it lied about him and PV in permanently banning them.
Twitter deep-sixed accounts for PV and O’Keefe yesterday after the Project Veritas published stories and broadcast secretly recorded video that featured a CNN director’s confession that the hate-Trump network is a leftist propaganda machine. The director confessed that CNN manipulates interview subjects and viewers, purposely targets Republicans with lies, and uses “news” to support the Marxist Black Lives Matter movement.
Twitter claimed that PV and O’Keefe used “fake accounts,” which he says is actionable.
That it might be. But Twitter’s foolish move is quite valued because it proved once again that leftist corporate media are in cahoots to lie to and hide the truth from Americans.
In this case, the truth is that CNN is not a news organization. It’s the information ministry for the Democrat Party and its leftist footsoldiers.
Broke the Twitter Rules?
Twitter shut down PV and O’Keefe after the third installment of the series on CNN. In Part 1, Technical Director Charlie Chester admitted that the network pushed the lie that President Trump was medically “unfit” for office. Simultaneously, it peddled the preposterous idea that Joe Biden was a “young geriatric” because he jogs and wears cool aviator shades.
Part 2 showed Chester’s admission that the network “gaslights” viewers and manipulates questions to interview subjects to get the “right” answers. Chester also said the network purposely stokes fear to keep ratings high. “Fear is the thing that keeps you tuned in,” he said.
In Part 3, Chester confessed that the network is essentially the media arm of BLM.
But Part 3 was strike three.
“A Twitter spokesperson confirmed O’Keefe has been permanently banned ‘for violating the Twitter Rules on platform manipulation and spam,’” PV reported.
A Twitter spokesperson pointed us to a section in the company’s rules which state: “You can’t mislead others on Twitter by operating fake accounts,” and “you can’t artificially amplify or disrupt conversations through the use of multiple accounts.”
Calling Twitter’s claims “false” and “defamatory,” O’Keefe, said he would sue the leftist outfit “for defamation because they said I, James O’Keefe, ‘operated fake accounts.’”
O’Keefe’s Twitter account had almost one million followers.
In a one-minute video that accompanied the story at PV’s website, an angry O’Keefe vowed revenge:
This is not a coincidence. This is sick.… On Monday, we are filing a lawsuit. We are going to sue them! Now they think they’re protected by Section 230. You are not protected under United States law to lie about me with malice, with reckless disregard of the truth.
O’Keefe noted that PV had bested the New York Times in New York’s Supreme Court to get discovery in a lawsuit against that leftist newspaper, and “now we’re gonna get discovery into Twitter. You cannot get away with this.”
Promised O’Keefe:
We were gonna sue CNN, and now we’re gonna sue Twitter.
CNN Lies, O’Keefe Punished
One of CNN’s targets, Florida GOP Representative Matt Gaetz, took particular note of Twitter’s imprudent decision.
“O’Keefe exposes CNN for lying about me and Donald Trump for propaganda,” the congressman tweeted. “Then Twitter suspends him.”
Gaetz is keenly interested because Chester admitted that the network was out to ruin him because he is trouble for the Democrats’ hard-left, anti-American agenda.
“He’s a problem for the Democratic Party because he’s so conservative and he can cause a lot of hiccups in passing of laws and what not. So it would be great for the Democratic Party to get him out,” Chester said:
So we’re going to keep running those stories to keep hurting him and make it so that it can’t be buried, and just like settled outside of court just like, you know, if we keep pushing that, it’s helping us.
That’s propaganda because it’s helping us in some way.
CNN also targeted Trump with lies, Chester confessed. And he repeatedly equated the hate-Trump network’s output with “propaganda.”
“We were creating a story there that we didn’t know anything about,” he said of CNN’s claims that Trump was medically “unfit” for the presidency. “I think that’s propaganda.”
