(PJ Media) Project Veritas, whose public face has always been its founder James O’Keefe, has been hit with a scandal. A whistleblower has come forward regarding the recent news that O’Keefe has been put on leave and stripped of his role in the company.
According to this unnamed whistleblower, O’Keefe has fallen victim to a lack of proper corporate structure at Project Veritas, which is divided into two separate organizations with different boards and funding.
The whistleblower alleges that two ringleaders, Matt Tyrmand and Barry Hinckley, have taken advantage of the situation to push O’Keefe out. The board members and C-suite officers involved in the attempt to remove O’Keefe are listed in the Twitter thread. The whistleblower describes the board’s decision as a “Stalinesque kangaroo court trial.”
THREAD: The Project Veritas Coup
A whistleblower has contacted me about the news that @JamesOKeefeIII was put on leave and stripped of all authority at @Project_Veritas
This is difficult for me to publish, as a STAUNCH supporter of PV for years & even a VIP at their events.

Project Veritas has experienced huge success recently with its reinstatement on Twitter and the viral videos exposing corruption at Pfizer.
The removal of James O’Keefe comes shortly after this win, and many people have speculated about the reasons behind it. Candace Owens of the Daily Wire has come out in support of O’Keefe, stating: “There is no Project Veritas without James O’Keefe. I say this as a donor to the organization, but more importantly, as a colleague who watched him pour everything he had into PV over the years. The money and supporters will follow James.”
The Daily Beast released an article on Wednesday about the supposed turmoil within Project Veritas, blaming it all on O’Keefe and his alleged mistreatment of employees. It’s hard to take these claims seriously when they are based on an internal memo signed by only a third of the employees.
The idea that working for James O’Keefe involves “public crucifixions” and mandatory lie-detector tests is entertaining but seems like an overly dramatic way of describing a tough boss. Considering the work ethic of today’s youth—and Project Veritas is full of young adults—who are part of the generation that films themselves crying when asked to make too many no-foam lattes, the complaints ring a little hollow.
I can’t be the only person who laughed at that.
