Hostile Takeover of Project Veritas Seeking to Remove James O’Keefe


Word first broke on the Twitter last night about a board coup inside the Project Veritas organization led by Matt Tyrmand, a rabid advocate for Ron DeSantis and part of the 2024 influence operation. [TWITTER Source]

According to the leaked information, Matt Tyrmand organized a six-hour confrontation session against Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe, culminating in a decision to put O’Keefe on leave.

“The board held a six-and-a-half-hour struggle session vs James where they subjected him to constant derision and insults. At the insistence of Tyrmand, O’Hara, and Hinckley; “about ten employees aired their grievances about James, which essentially boiled down to him being a tough boss to work for. At the end of this six-hour struggle session, Tyrmand and fellow board member John Garvey put him on leave and stripped him of all authority.” (source)

New York Mag is essentially confirming the original sourcing [SEE HERE].

James O’Keefe, the founder and chairman of Project Veritas, has taken a paid leave from the conservative nonprofit media organization as its board considers whether to remove him from his leadership position, according to current and former employees of the organization.

An internal message sent to Project Veritas employees by the organization’s executive director, Daniel Strack, said that O’Keefe would be taking “a few weeks of well-deserved PTO.” An image of the message was shared by a source familiar with the organization’s internal operations, and its authenticity was confirmed by a current employee. When reached for comment on his personal cell phone, O’Keefe said nothing in response and did not respond to follow-up calls and text messages. (source)

Considering the recent explosive undercover work against Pfizer, it is not out of the question, heck, it might be likely – that the Big Republican Club is at work against O’Keefe.

Money at this scale, with the political overlay and stakes high, is a powerfully corrupting combination.  However, if the board at Project Veritas thinks they can oust James O’Keefe and still remain viable, they are sadly mistaken.  There is no Project Veritas without James O’Keefe. 

What was the subject matter of the conversation last night?

Watch the video inside the Tweet below to hear Matt Tyrmand in his own words:

Hang around a one-legged man, and sooner or later you are going to start limping.

If the Project Veritas board decides to take out James O’Keefe, that entire organization is dead to me.
