Weeks after being banned on Twitter, Project Veritas is now suing CNN for defamation. In the suit, they claim that CNN maliciously made false allegations that damaged their reputation.

It all began when Project Veritas publicized secretly recorded video of CNN technical director Charlie Chester. There wasn’t just one video, not just two, but three highly edited videos.

As a result, Twitter banned Project Veritas and its founder James O’Keefe. The social media platform claimed that there were “repeated violations of Twitter’s policies prohibiting the sharing of other people’s private information without consent.” Which, in the lawsuit, its lawyers do not deny. “

Then, O’Keefe swore to also sue Twitter himself for falsely banning him. Twitter claimed he had operated false accounts, but O’Keefe denies the allegation.

Next, CNN made no comment on the matter, and as far as anyone knows Charlie Chester is still employed with the network. But, their host Ana Cabrera went on to falsely claim that Project Veritas was banned for spreading misinformation. Previously, on April 11th, she’d tweeted the true reason for the ban, but went on to criticize Project Veritas. The company is suing her for comments she made on April 15th.

O’Keefe appeared on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo to say that he is confident that his company will win the lawsuit.

“I think a lot of people need to start suing the media for defamation,” O’Keefe said. “It’s disgraceful what they’re doing, it’s disgusting.”

2024 Presidential Election Details Unprecedented Diversity Shift in Republican Party 

Published

Following President-elect Donald Trump’s re-election, NBC News National Political Correspondent Steve Kornacki highlighted how the Republican Party has become “more diverse than it’s ever been in modern times.” Kornacki shared this insight on Meet The Press with Kristen Welker, explaining how data shows minority groups have increasingly moved toward the GOP, while the Democratic base has grown among white, college-educated voters.

Kornacki credited Trump’s impact on reshaping the Republican Party, noting that over the past eight years, the GOP has gained ground among voters under 30, those earning under $50,000, and those without college degrees. Using a screen to display recent election data, Kornacki compared shifts from the “pre-Trump” era in 2012 to now, showing a significant increase in support for Republicans among minority groups.

“Again, pre-Trump versus now,” he explained. “The Black vote is still overwhelmingly Democratic, but there’s been a 15-point shift. It used to be 87 points for the Democrats, down to 72. Hispanic voters, once solidly Democratic, are now basically a toss-up. And Asian Americans have moved by 32 points toward the GOP as well.”

These shifts, he said, represent a profound change since Trump first became the GOP’s leading figure, solidifying the party’s appeal to a broader array of Americans and transforming the Republican coalition.

Kornacki pointed out the reverse trend for the Democratic Party, which has increasingly attracted white voters, especially those with higher incomes and college degrees. As the Republican coalition diversified, Democrats gained support from college-educated voters and households earning more than $100,000 annually.

In a review of key swing states, Kornacki highlighted Trump’s success in securing states like Wisconsin and noted Trump’s historic achievement of winning the popular vote, a first for a Republican in 20 years. He also mentioned “giant strides” in typically blue states like California, emphasizing how Trump’s expanded voter base contributed to his overall win.

Welker confirmed that the election results are essentially finalized, though counting remains underway in some areas. “If you remember from 2020, it took about a month to get all the national popular vote,” Kornacki added, noting that California, where only 75% of ballots have been counted, will add millions of votes to the national total due to mail-in ballot delays.
