Project Veritas Staffers Tell Board: Quit or We Walk! (2 Sources Confirm)
GP ^ | 02/21/23 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 02/21/2023 4:14:19 PM PST by Enlightened1

Yesterday, James O’Keefe was fired by the board of the media organization he founded 13 years ago. He gave a 45 minute going away speech yesterday to staff.

Today, the reporters who are loyal to O’Keefe have told the board that unless they resign today, they are all quitting as a bloc.

This matches the loss of nearly 100,000 followers of PV on Twitter in one day. According to one PV insider about the current Project Veritas board member Matt Tyrmand: “Tyrmand is in full panic mode. We’re all about to walk out after an emergency board meeting tomorrow unless they all resign. All the real journalists here are out and they won’t have anyone left to do the real work that made this place great.”

 

Project Veritas has repeatedly released amazing undercover journalism exclusives, including major reporting on sacred left-wing institutions such as ACORN, National Public Radio, Hillary Clinton, Teacher Unions, Planned Parenthood, Jeffrey Epstein, 2020 Voter Fraud, and more. O’Keefe’s leadership of Project Veritas has resulted in a great deal of news being reported that otherwise would never have come out.

” ....current Project Veritas board member Matt Tyrmand...”

How odd that Tyrmand hasn’t been in Bannon’s Warroom to ‘splain hisself....

American loyalty! James made that company and a bunch of outsiders think they can swoop in and take over!

Reminds me of the scumbags that fired the founder of Under Armer given his regard for Trump.

What the heck is wrong with Matt Tyrmand? He’s on the WarRoom once in a while and seems like a pretty solid guy. I didn’t even know he was on PV’s board, but from what I’ve read he’s one of the instigators of the effort to push James O’Keefe out.

Money is a powerful motivator! This all started within a day or two of the Pfizer sting video being released. Look at who is sponsoring all newscasts these days. There is your clue!

That is exactly what I was thinking. I wonder if Bannon will mention Tyrmand's part in this.

Looks like O’Keefe has a ready made staff to start another company...

Does anyone else think this is a bonafide effort by the left to silence OKeefe?

It all seems pretty fast and absolute.

Bannon covered this the first day off as the 5pm lead off story.

Funny that Tyrmand was never mentioned.

I try to keep an open mind but the “board” statement today in response to James’ letter yesterday to employees was a bit weak. While every board should be concerned about accounting and/or keeping tabs on money spent, there are much better ways to accomplish this than the idiocy we just witnessed.

Why not call James and express concern about spending on items that might appear to donors as being frivolous or wasteful OR set up a process where the board reviews such expenditures?

This was clearly motivated by something else. You don’t destroy a 22 million dollar plus organization over “rental car fees” when your CEO and primary fundraiser is on the road for 300 days out of the year. Corporate travel is expensive 1st, 2nd, or 3rd class.

If Matt was part of this $hit show he is an idiot. Maybe they had valid concerns about a few things, but this is not how a normal “board” addresses such matters. This was a coup attempt and it occurred immediately after your most successful month in the 10 year plus history of a company when you whacked one of the biggest spending companies in history?

My belief is clear...... some people got some money from Pfizer. It will take a lot for me to believe differently at this point.

“Pfizer has done a fabulous job of decimating project veritas.”
Pfizer is probably the most evil corporation in the world today.

All I want is where do we send all the money we stopped sending to PV(RIP)?
