I wish I could kill some of these cops: James OKeefe allegedly fired an employee for refusing to incite anti-police violence
Project Veritas allegedly fired a top staffer for refusing to cooperate with the plan
JOANNA ROTHKOPF
A former top staffer at Project Veritas, a conservative-leaning investigative journalism organization run by notoriously slimy James OKeefe, has recently admitted that he was pressured to oversee an operative, charged with embedding with anti-police protest groups and influencing demonstrators to say violent statements on camera,
according to the New York Post.
The operative was supposed to say this clunky entrée into the activist equivalent of phone sex: Sometimes, I wish I could just kill some of these cops. Dont you just wish we could have one of the cops right here in the middle of our group? The staffer, Richard Valdes, said that
OKeefe fired him after the operative refused to complete the assignment and Valdes refused to punish him for it. Valdes said that OKeefe was unhappy with me for being unwilling to strong-arm the guy to do his dirty work.
The operative reportedly emailed Valdes and OKeefe: I will not say words that will jeopardize my entity, especially when they involve an illegal act of murdering police.
It is important to maintain a healthy degree of skepticism about these reports as the New York Post is the snot rag of the media landscape, and these claims have not been confirmed by another outlet as of the writing of this article. Additionally, the script that the operative was instructed to read feels like it was written by an alien attempting to blend in with Earth teens.
In a statement,
Project Veritas spokesperson Dan Pollack said: Project Veritas would never do anything that we believe would incite violence against police officers. Anyone suggesting otherwise is clearly unfamiliar with our body of work.
