The public has a right to know what has happened here – a statement James O’Keefe continues to stand by as he makes his exit from the very organization he built – Project Veritas. O’Keefe released a statement on Monday, defending his side of things and began by addressing the “tactical disagreement about the boldness of approaches to soliciting donations.”
The advice O’Keefe received from board members went against everything he knew to be true in his 13+ years of fundraising.
“I don’t build in order to have donors; I have donors in order to build.” O’Keefe felt like visions were conflicted and he believed that the measurement of success was based on what they produced, not how fat their wallets were.
According to O’Keefe, after a Project Veritas officer failed to comply with the leads vision, O’Keefe ended up firing his colleague after they refused to resign.
Later that day – coincidently a few days after the 50+ million views on Pfizer’s exposure video was released – O’Keefe was informed by a different officer of he would be going to the board to have an emergency vote and restructure the company. The meeting was scheduled while O’Keefe landed from his flight.
He closed his statement with, “Our mission continues,” and “I’m not done – the mission will perhaps take on a new name and it may be no longer called Veritas.”
“I’m announcing to you all that today on Presidents’ Day, I’m packing up my personal belongings. I don’t have the answers as to why they’ve been doing this or why board members were going directly to employees to collect grievances but I’m confident that those reasons and motivations will come to light.”
He finishes by wondering “why there was a concerted effort to remove me from the organization I found it in the same week of the biggest one we’ve ever had.”
The message remains the same – without James O’Keefe, there is NO PROJECT VERITAS.
