The REICH has a PENCHANT for naming laws, movements, organizations and ideology with words that mean the exact OPPOSITE of what they do and STAND for. Hence, "stop" the steal, "true" the vote, "Truth" Social and numerous other forms of deceptive **** like that.
TRUTH is, O'Keefe and at least SOME of his associates have benefited from the usual PRIVILEGE afforded SOME, when they too should've been locked the **** up, LONG ago:
From James O'Keefe - wikipedia (yes that same wiki that the usual sorts will dismiss as liberally biased while they fail to disprove ANY of it):James O'Keefe: an American political activist, provocateur, and self-described "guerilla journalist" who:
- founded Project Veritas, a far-right activist group that uses deceptive editing techniques to attack mainstream media organizations and progressive groups
- with Project Veritas have produced secretly recorded undercover audio and video encounters in academic, governmental, and social service organizations, purporting to show abusive or illegal behavior by representatives of those organizations
- recordings that are often selectively edited to misrepresent the context of the conversations and the subjects' responses
- who has gained national attention for his selectively edited video recordings of workers at ACORN
- who was arrested, a plead guilty in 2010 for entering the federal office of then-U.S. Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA) under false pretenses
- who released misleading videos of conversations with two high-ranking, now former, NPR executives in 2011.
- whose videos were heavily edited to portray ACORN workers seemingly aiding a couple in criminal planning – were publicized
- resulting in the U.S. Congress voting to freeze funds for the non-profit, and the non-profit also losing most of its private funding
- after which investigations of the videos concluded no illegal ACORN activity occurred
- The Attorney General's Office found that O'Keefe had misrepresented the actions of ACORN workers in California and that the workers had not broken any laws.
- One of the fired ACORN workers sued O'Keefe for invasion of privacy; O'Keefe issued an apology and agreed to pay $100,000 in a settlement.
- O'Keefe has support from right-wing and conservative media and interest groups, as well as the far right.
- In 2009, Andrew Breitbart commissioned him for the option to publish [his] new videos exclusively
