My favorite line from the article: O’Keefe accused his rivals in the organization`of “leaking confidential information and fabricating stories.”
oh noes, Jimmy. Not that! What sort of slimeball would leak confidential information and fabricate stories?
Does he get to keep the pimp clothing?
I, for one, am shocked, shocked, at this unexpected turn of events. I can’t believe James O’Keefe would be anything other than an honest, forthright, and stand-up guy.
Me, I was surprised both he and the outfit (Project Veritas, not the pimp threads) were still around.
Pimps up, flies down? “Toward the end of his remarks to staff, O’Keefe choked up as he thanked his parents, recalling how he founded Project Veritas, 13 years ago, from his father’s carriage house.” Oh, you poor fellow.
There is so much crazy in the head of James O’keefe. My better angel wants to feel pity for him, but the stuff he does is not harmless.
I just want to cry every time I hear about a group like his raising millions. I hate to see what he’ll do next.
Mismanagement of donor money. I thought everyone understood that was what happened when one donates to Republicans.
The problem was he tried to keep all the grift to himself rather than sharing it with his colleagues.
“I never thought the leopards would eat my face”, says man who hired a bunch of leopards and taught them all he knew about the eating of faces.
This works perfectly, if you’re still suspicious that the man was actually a leopard currently eating your face.
New York magazine is posting that the details of what actually happened are being contested by Veritas, although it’s mostly “you can’t fire me, I quit” from his side.
That article has multiple links to earlier stories on the power war going on inside the organization, and O’Keefe’s battles with the law breathing down his neck. Excellent for schadenfreude.
To seek inner peace through all this, o’Keefe has gone hiking with Bobby Kennedy Jr., according to the article.
On the Appalachian Trail, no doubt.
That’s over in Argentina, is it?
This is the most tragic breakup since America’s Frontline Doctors split with Simone Gold.
Should’ve joined Aaron Rodgers at his darkness retreat.
Dammit, yes.
Has this guy ever had the shit beaten out of him? I don’t advocate for violence, so I wouldn’t encourage it, but this guy almost demands it.
He did once accuse a person of assault for grabbing a book he was holding then throwing it at him.
