The ACORN Pimp Got Played!

The pimp game over for far right noise maker.

A pimp can't be too hostile. He has to treat his women like jewels. The game can be brutal.

The ACORN Pimp lost his money and his women turned on him.

It appears that Project Veritas is engaged in a civil war with itself. The founder and CEO of the far right group, James O'Keefe is forced out with pay. The board is furious that he has spent the donor money given to do their "investigative journalism" for his own self.

The chairman’s position is being considered for removal as the conservative organization is embroiled with complaints of O’Keefe’s "outright cruel" behavior towards employees and disgruntled donors, according to an internal memo signed by a third of its employees obtained by The Daily Beast.

Daniel Strack, the nonprofit’s executive director, sent an internal message to Project Veritas staff that said O’Keefe would be taking "a few weeks of well-deserved PTO," per the NY Mag report.

“Like all newsrooms at this stage, the Project Veritas Board of Directors and Management are constantly evaluating what the best path forward is for the organization,” read another statement released by Strack through a Project Veritas spokesman, per the report.

Employees said that working for O’Keefe at Project Veritas could mean being “publicly humiliated” by the founder and “public crucifixion,” per the report. They also claimed that staff could be required to undergo lie detector tests, that O’Keefe was a “power drunk tyrant” — according to one complaint — and that the chairman once took a sandwich from a pregnant woman because he was hungry.

Project Veritas is trying to cut its founder loose.

Employees also brought up the use of Project Veritas money to boost O’Keefe’s own theatrical interests. In December, Project Veritas said it provided a prohibited $20,500 in “excess benefits” to O’Keefe last year to pay for staff to accompany him to Virginia when he starred in a 2021 production of “Oklahoma!”

In what appears to be another reference to O’Keefe, an employee complained about Project Veritas workers being spat on, per the memo.

“Rule #1: You can’t spit in an employee’s face over a tweet,” the note read. “True story.”

Even with O’Keefe’s leadership position under scrutiny, many are wondering if the organization could survive without him as its leader. “Quite frankly, he’s the company,” one former employee said.
