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.
Remember, big corporate donors like the Koch Donor Trust are attached to Project Veritas and simultaneously attached to Ron DeSantis. This could be where DeSantis operative Matt Tyrmand connects the issues between Big donors (Koch), Big Pharma (Pfizer) and Big Club (DeSantis) motives.
However, Occam’s Razor could also apply in that an untrustworthy, backstabbing dirtbag and ankle biter like Matt Tyrmand just happens to find a natural ideological alignment with Team DeSantis.
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:
Watch as these desperate losers beclown themselves in public.

If the Project Veritas board decides to take out James O’Keefe, that entire organization is dead to me.
James O’Keefe IS Project Veritas.
As President Trumps is to MAGA.
One word ACORN.
Kill shot on Obama electioneering scum.
O’Keefe is a real life modern day Sam Spade/Philip Marlowe
I see an O’Keefe Sundance collaboration on the horizon. There are only a few trustworthy men left it seems.
In a way, I agree. But I would not like to see Sundance as a sensationalist exposer. I like his gentle, intelligent way.
Go, Sundance!
It’s a ever shrinking circle of “trustworthy men” every day it seems!!! Why are there so few and why are so many of the few seem to be here???
“He travels fastest who travels alone.”
Kipling of course…
Pearls! Good morning to you gentle person.
Yes, I always had thought it was a one man /one camera operation -I didn’t know had corporate board etc -where were they when he was raided ? Certainly won’t exist if he goes …
James is the body and soul of Project Veritas- no on else!
Amen.
Imagine James O’Keefe exposing the real RDS and his swamp dwelling supporters.
Pfizer and the deep state are out to crush O’Keefe the same way they crushed Alex Jones. You are known by the company you keep. DSantis is keeping company with the filthiest creeps of the Republican wing of the UniParty.
Without question!
Amen.
We support you, James!
Noscitur a sociis
A word is known by the company it keeps. One of my favorite law sayings.
There is no Project Veritas without O’Keefe. If forced out he will take everything which matters with him.
I want to hear from James himself on this matter.
He’s probably unable to comment under his contract
This is getting ridiculous.. Where are the men and women of honorable disposition in these organizations. The scale of corruption and financial influence is staggering. Even orgs like this that you would think are safely on the side of truth and fairness are proving otherwise. Trillions at stake..
It’s all about the money. And money without virtue is a deleterious thing indeed.
And the money to support inept media/entertainment and beat down patriots doesn’t have to be coming from Pfizer or Google or Amazon or Microsoft or any other big corporation or a Mr. GotRocks: the money could be coming from the source with the deepest pockets of all – our government. Money’s no object for a government promoting an ideology. It’s Big Brother.
Honorable, virtuous men and women of integrity are in very, very, very short supply these days. most have opted for wealth and power and they don’t much care who they have to crush to get it. It is as dark and sick as it gets.
We are in the Covid Era – Great Reset now. The operation has gone hot.
Whether they even realize it or not ——— loads of ambitious people in the prime of their lives or soon will be (now in their teens) —— have brains doing calculations on —– which side the bread gets buttered ——- and which side ends up in Financial Ruin + more often now — in prison.
Which team has the Hillarys + Gates + member of Congress + so on —- who just killed millions of people around the world to launch The Great Reset —— and took in untold millions of $$$ for doing so…..?
Which team has Gen Flynn + Roger Stone + all those others close to Trump who were driven into bankruptcy + arrested + coerced into pleading to charges or were convicted….?
Which team had Epstein on its side for decades then killed him no matter obvious it was?
— Not only was it obvious — all those young people with ambition + thinking about their futures saw —– the other team — had near complete control of the Law + Order Agencies —– to not only make Epstein Disappear but —– get away with it without even much Media Coverage….
—- One Team gets things done + has no trouble destroying the lives + families of those they feel like targeting.
Just ask the Jan 6 Families.
—– The Other Team…? Our side….?
If you were a teenager — would you dream of working for + working your way to advancement for a Project Veritas…?
Or, in this new era for humanity —- would you pick a path of far less lethal resistance….?
Would you decide to put your talents into a much safer field….?
—– Project Veritas was one of the brightest spots out there in a long time….
I love Project Veritas.
I love Libs of TikTok less but love it.
If this were 10 years ago – I’d say O’Keefe would weather this storm if he wants.
In the Post-Covid Release Era — aka The Great Reset in the Hot Stages…? Realistically…?
I give it a 60% chance — He won’t end up in Prison — if he agrees to take on a new career out of the stoplight + harmless to the Elites….
If he tries to continue —- he’ll end up in Prison. 80% chance. I don’t even need to know what the future charges will be — because as the 2020 + 2022 “Elections” proved, they can do what they want when they want + no longer care if it is obvious to the whole world….
— Sam Bankman-Fried must be sitting around going, “What the Hades is going on? Look at all the examples from the past…. I played the game….. How did I end up here….?!!! Don’t yall know we are in The Great Reset now….????”
without okeefe they become the lincoln bedroom project. nothing more, certainly a lot less
lincoln bedroom project
This really is an all out war in the realm of information. And obviously aligned with the ongoing wars on other fronts.
The leftist ideologues are ratcheting up the intensity on a daily basis. Seems like something even more ominous is around the corner.
Another thought is what was O’Keefe working on that needed to be stopped ?
O’keefe will burn them down if they try to muzzle him.
Good point.
But also they have to keep punishing him for Biden family incest.
Wen Fauci files?
Operation Patriot Crossfire? PV throws the opening punches, Fauci Files lands body blows, PV with the knock out punch?
Just speculating.
Tyrmand is an ankle biter indeed. He just outed himself. DeSantis and Youngkin in the same breath. Nothing says owned by the Carlyle Group more clearly.
Ammunition expended. Bye Matt.
Juicy takedown —Clinton? Or Pence? Or Obama
The Pfizer exposé was the straw that broke the camels back. Most people have no idea of how much money Pfizer (and other Big Pharma Corps.) spread around DC and the media.
O’Keefe’s brilliant outing of Pfizer’s deceit for all the world to see was likely too much for them to bear. This attack on O’Keefe stinks like sewage of pure unadulterated & highly funded vengeance.
The antics of a guy spilling his knowledge on a date brought down this fearless man. He went berserk after finding he was “had” by Truth, and his employer and others, pulled out the long knives. Despicable!
“There is no Project Veritas” is probably their end goal.
But he can raise the money to start over, I’m in.
So J.O. called some people some names. What a bunch of sissies.
it’s the pantywaist generation
Pfizer. O Keefe got too close.
Steve Cortez? Wow! Has Bannon talked about this? Cortez is on the War Room a lot and now Bannon’s treatment of Lindell yesterday makes sense. Wow…Bannon is DeSantis? Another traitor….Trump pardoned him! Wow…
I followed Cortes for a brief minute on TruthSocial. It was brief because most of his posts are now promoting Desantis. Bye.
What did Bannon do to Lindell? (I don’t watch War Room)
I had no idea he was DeSantis. Lindell was really p 0’d that RD was promoting this woman associated with Dominion and Bannon was implying it had something to do with Lindell supporting Trump. It was disrespectful to Mike as Mike advertises there and is very strong on voter integrity. It was yesterday, I think first war room of the day and I only watch one episode at most the day after. Someone else here noticed the attitude. Bannon either apologizes to Lindell or I am done. So disappoined in Bannon. He was sounding like Buck and Clay.
I dropped him, too, too liberal. Bannon ought to jettison him, too.
Bannon has always been Trump, but he has people on show who disagree with him.
The big DeSantis push is recent, as are these new alliances.
Really bummed by this. Cortes always praises Trump’s economic record, yet he’s on that panel? And Tyrmand was frequently on Warroom during the Brazilian election. Seemed to be well versed in Latin American issues.
self deleted (commented in wrong spot).
Bannon made a strong statement of support for James O’Keefe on his show while noting he’s known O’Keefe for 12 years.
First they came for James.
This just weird. How did these people take over that organization?
Not sure how they do it but they sure do know how to infiltrate and destroy legitimate MAGA entities. Look what they did to Michelle Malkin.
Think back to the Tea Party.
Wow – that’s a name I haven’t heard for YEARS…she started here in Seattle writing editorials for the Seattle Times and was on fire but then something happened and she completely disappeared.
shes on at virginia dare site.
“shes on at virginia dare site.” No idea what that is…could you post a link?
Malkin was one of the up and coming stars of the conservative movement but as far as I can tell, she has pretty much disappeared from sight. I know her younger sister went missing here in the Seattle are and she was VERY involved in the search for information about that (understandably) but I think something else happened in Denver and then, “poof” she was gone!
Her teenage daughter became very ill in 2015 and her condition went undiagnosed for a long time. She was attacked by Antifa while on stage at a Back the Blue rally in Denver…. I think in 2020?
Apparently, she retired in October. Her last column is linked below:

Thanks for posting those. We met Michelle at a Vitae Foundation (ProLife) dinner. She’s adorable, brilliant and right!
Thank you so much for posting these!! I followed her closely, way back in the early 1990s when I was a new stay at home mom, swimming against the Leftist tide of Seattle group-think and she was the voice in the wilderness who spoke for those of us who had no visibility! My son met her a couple of times when he was involved with YAF and the College Republicans and said that she was unfailing polite and sharp as a whip!
She has indeed “fought the good fight” and I know it has come at tremendous personal and emotional costs. I wish her well and hope that we have not seen the last of her! We need warriors who do not compromise and who are willing to call out, publicly, all those who do!!
Michelle Malkin archive of columns.
https://vdare.com/writers/michelle-malkin
Michelle Malkin took the money and then literally disappeared. She’s as visible now as that abducted relative of hers.
Do you have inside information on how or why she “disappeared”? Do you know what has been going on in her life? Do you know the attacks and threats she received? It is really bad taste to mock the disappearance of her sister.
My understanding is the board of directors is very small, and it is board trying to force O’Keefe out.
The fight is between the money and O’Keefe and his loyalists on the staff.
So some person or organization got control over the board. Money talks.
Yet again, an operation is being commenced.
Thanks Sundance.
The loudmouth sitting next the gal spouting his bile needs a good ass whopping – rhetorically speaking🤬
And Cortes? Wow!
Haven’t paid too much attention to this, but it looks like O’Keefe shares an issue with Trump…personnel choices. The main perpetrator here appears to come from money. Bringing on wealthy individuals in any capacity in most any field is a mistake. Anyway, without O’Keefe, PV is dead. He can start again wiser from the experience.
The melbers are mad
Fox News (maybe was never really that good)
Breitbart
Newsmax (maybe was never really that good)
a whole bunch of Conservative, Inc – Redstate, National Review, Heritage Foundation, etc etc
The Founders may have had something there with basing their organizational development structures on the corruptibility of man. Original Sin and all that.
James is a National Treasure.
James O’Keefe is Project Veritas. Without him, they’re toast.
Look who’s meeting with Bourla -DeSantis!!
Well there’s 29 scumbags I’ll never vote for – can’t wait to vote against Noem and DeSantis in the primary.
Where is Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R-Arkansas)?
They are full of themselves. James is PV.
>>>> If the Project Veritas board decides to take out James O’Keefe, that entire organization is dead to me.
Amen, bro.
There is no Project Veritas without James O’Keefe. Can’t say it any better. Perhaps the target is to get rid of PV.
He’s being #Pfizered
… so glad you’re sharing/showing the facts… and shining sunlight on the roaches …
the tip off for me that it was an inside job was last night EVERY LEFTIE MEDIA SITE WAS ALL OVER THIS story GLOATING… they had been tipped off …
What were those “insiders” paid to turn into traitors??
Project Veritas is nothing but ProjectVacuous without James …
I have heard that the forces of evil never let a good deed go unpunished. James is responsible for a multitude of good deeds.
The DeSantis Team has gone on a buying spree lately:
Turning Point USA
The Rubin Report
John Cardillo (who appears to be involved in the PV takeover)
David Reaboi
Karol Markowicz
Jordan Schachtel
Bill Mitchell
The Babylon Bee
I suspect we can add CitizenFreePress to that list as well, though this is only an inference at this point in time.
Now Project Veritas finds itself embroiled in a hostile takeover, involving not one but two DeSantis surrogates…
It sure looks like someone is busy transmuting grassroots into AstroTurf.
Agreed. If you can’t compete then try to control access to the microphone.
Don’t leave out the Buck and Hack show, the two clowns that took over Rush’s time slot. That sports guy Travis is sickening on his DeSantizer and Fox Snews worship.
That Buck guy is worse. He is a DeSantis “influencer”.
Babylon Bee? Please explain further…
They did a hit piece on PDJT.
Link, please? I follow BB and I don’t see anything I would consider a “hit piece”…
Link: Babylon Bee admits it has received $21,000 from RDS PACs for “consulting” services.
Link to Hitpiece:
“MAR-A-LAGO — Former President Trump has kicked off his 2024 campaign by attacking fellow Republican Ron DeSantis, blaming the Florida governor for not firing Dr. Fauci and for pushing a poorly-tested vaccine on the entire nation…”
Thus far, the DeSantis camp has yet to issue any direct response to Trump’s attacks. “Yeah, we’re just as confused as y’all are,” said DeSantis’ communications director Christina Pushaw.
‘We always liked Trump, so it’s honestly kind of sad to see his mind start to go. I know dementia isn’t supposed to be contagious, but D.C. sure makes it seem that way.’
Governor DeSantis himself could not be reached for comment, as he was too busy winning.”
Criticizing Trump’s pandemic response and then having your communications director quoted saying Trump has dementia qualifies as a hit piece.
Hiding behind satire while doing so is cowardly.
Libs of TT next.
EVERYONE will go full anti-Trump.
EVERYONE will evade FBI raids except authentic conservatives and truth-tellers.
DeSantis has never stated that Joe’s 81 million votes are fake.
I had no idea until I recently looked into this… what a festering, rotting POS you’d have to be to dance around this obvious fraud.
Anyone disloyal to Trump after proving himself to be the best president for the people in modern times— can kiss my ass.
These other POS poseurs are all about money and attention. They don’t give a 💩 about this country.
Trump DID what he SAID he would do.
Compare him to Bush, Osucka, and Mr. Potato. They all sold us out— are still selling us out.
RDS is not younger and shinier. He is the same global-homo funded shill -and belongs to the same corporate funded club that the rest of these bastards belong to.
They can all consume 💩 and die— because they sure as hell don’t care about this country.
Lorrie, perfectly stated. Agree totally.
What I liked about Donald Trump during the 2016 election is all the crooks and frauds didn’t like him.
Once in office he actually did what he said he would do.
Nobody on the Earth has this track record.
And it will be dead to everyone else as well. Of course, big donor money will keep it going as a hollow shell while O’Keefe moves on to bigger and better things.
Good reporting on Tyrmand. Hope this piece gets picked up by CFP and others.
The point would seem to be hijacking it and using it to further other ends while it still has credibility and a reputation that can be sold to the unsuspecting.
Bodysnatchers effectively, but with entire organizations.
Yes it’s worth more to them as a hollow shell multimillion dollar money pit than an active and honest investigative news organization.
O’Keefe founded Veritas. Can he not dissolve it? How much control does he still have here?
My guess is to expand his efforts he had to take on ‘partners’.
“If the Project Veritas board decides to take out James O’Keefe, that entire organization is dead to me.”
Ditto!
Question: “struggle session” – that sounds vaguely familiar from long ago – is that a Marxist thing?
It’ll be dead to everyone. A great big who cares! But that’s the point, isn’t it?
Yes it’s Marxist – if I recall correctly, Maoist. Both Bannon and Posobeic talk about struggle sessions frequently.
I know how you feel bud.
I’ve been ostracized from my men’s group because of my position about sodomites in the “church”.
Cinch it up and go launch something new. It’s easier to give birth than raise the dead.
You have LOTS of grassroots support, and you’ll be glad you’re gone within a month!
Rock n roll! ✝️
Are those three guys married?
It seems like every picture you see of them they are toasting the high life and snuggling up tight.
The guy pointed to Young kin and at the same time says Trump is would be a lame duck. He must not realize that the VA Governor is a lame duck from day one.
The VA governor is kind of a “meh,” but he beats the hell out his competition. He did help save a restaurant in Fredericksburg, VA and he makes all the right sounds, but no fireworks.
O’Keefe doesn’t need these jackasses. They are excess baggage to be thrown overboard.
Umm, …………
“which essentially boiled down to him being a tough boss to work for”
Realizing that in this “society” of 57 genders, woke activists, drag performers in elementary schools and libraries, politicians that care nothing except for their next face time episode on the nooz, et al, ……….. such a mental position is not surprising, yet to accept this perspective of thought is still like eating a bowl of cold oatmeal with black olives, not appetizing without extreme self-persuasion. If at all.
“………it might be likely – that the Big Republican Club is at work against O’Keefe.”
Rule Number 1) Follow the Money!!! It will lead you to the answers to all of your questions. Now, more than ever.
Stupid move or a set up for later. True, they won’t last without him.
I look forward to Mr. O’Keefe’s new Project, and intend to swerve funds in that direction.
The rest of the losers can go do unto themselves what they have done to others.
James just needs to leave and start Unveritas.
Kick-Butt-itas
#whatever. Let them ruin themselves. Without the founder, they are nothing but arrogant blowhards. I’m so sick of the corruption, so sick of the disloyalty, so sick of the money grubbing jackwagons.
James Okeefe is the only reason I trust Project Veritas. I’ll watch what he puts out, not Veritas.
Removing him could be for PV to get out ahead of liability on a sexual harassment suit.
Or it could be that O’Keefe “diverted” some funds from the organization without authorization.
As long as we’re guessing, I prefer to guess bigly.
That’s not the play they’re making. You generally lead these things with the strongest accusations, and the claims seem to be that O’Keefe was verbally abusive and drunk with power.
Overall a pretty weak pretext to rip out the heart and soul of an organization.
Don’t forget, he stole a pregnant woman’s sandwich (which isn’t even wrong in the first place).
Well Invisible Mikey, I hope your “guess bigly” does not start any ugly rumors . . . . .
Oh, me too. I just tend not to believe the cover stories put out by orgs. It always seems like years later someone on the inside writes a book, and we find out the public was totally lied to.

I am a HUGE Steve Bannon fan/follower. BUT, if Bannon is backing Tyrmand over O’Keefe, then I’m done with him. And that includes having Tyrmand on his show.
#me too
As I stated elsewhere, Bannon made a strong statement of support for O’Keefe’s character (I think it was Wed.’s Warroom), that he’s known him for 12 years.
As for Tyrmand, I don’t know Bannon’s opinion, other than having Tyrmand as a guest on his show.
I recall thinking Bannon’s support for O’Keefe the other day as a little more than necessary since it was days after the Pfizer expose. For a show that moves full speed ahead it seemed an odd step backwards. I’m wondering now if SB knew this was coming.
I heard Steve today say that there is no Project Veritas without O’Keefe. Charlie Kirk also.
Bannon puts on anyone who can boost his ratings, and his paycheck.
Without O’Keefe they may as well call the group Project Falso… I am getting to the point that if DeSantis gets the Republican nomination I will call it a day an let the chips fall where they may.
That might be the plan the uniparty is going for.
They do it all the time in lesser races.
Those who fixate on the well funded degenerate fake talk show Conservatives too much might find themselves being lured into a trap a.k.a. shiny thing distractions. The trap is the illusion that the rightful President Trump can be defeated by the Uniparty puppet boys in the media and thus we must spend all our time and effort refuting it..As if we really need too. So the effort to refute them is made insinuating that this is why Trump lost 2020 while the same dynamics (large scale fraud) that installed Brandon, Hobbs, etc….is the reality that no one is addressing. The media cant defeat Trump/Us anymore and they know it. So they stole the diamonds by force. Did you hear about the special committee being formed in the “conservative” congress on election fraud? yeah, me neither….meanwhile real Americans are literally being held hostage by a unelected regime.
…..and this cycle they need a good portion of PDJT supporters not to vote, plus ballot stuffing.
I suspect that an honest election would have all 50 States going MAGA at all levels.
They likely know the amount of cheating required now, and think it’s only going to get worse.
Thus they need to split the vote.
Brought to you by Pfizer/BionTech.
Looking to join a class action lawsuit for fraud against the PV Board, who sent out fundraising letters with James O’Keefe’s signature on them last week, right after the Pfizer story dropped…bet they raked in MILLIONS in donations, including from many followers of Coffee & Covid blogger Jeff Childers, who also happens to be an attorney and who has reached out to James if he needs legal counsel.
