Sued by the organization he created... Lawfare and intimidation, a favorite tool of the left... It's not enough that they infiltrate his organization an destroyed it's business model. Now they seek to make an example of him and others that have made it their mission to catch (mostly) lefties doing wrong.

I like the comment "this lawsuit brought to you by Pfizer"...
Typical knee-jerk Republican post blaming the left for right-wingers own craziness and infighting. Truly, there is nothing, and I mean NOTHING that the right will ever own. It's always those damn leftists infiltrating the right to take them down.

Don't get me wrong. It would be delicious irony if Project Veritas was infiltrated by a leftist. That after all is is PV's own schtick -- infiltrating anything left-wing they can. So please give a reference to the claim so I can pin a medal on the guy.

The Pfizer PAC gives more money to Republican Candidates than it does Democrats. And...

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla maxed out campaign contributions to Dr. Oz ahead of midterm elections

So the insinuation that Pfizer is trying to take down James Okeefe for political reasons is nothing but mindless political diarrhea.

Yes.

You do realize Trump's not really a conservative, right?

News flash, not everyone who votes or claims to be a republican is a conservative, just like not everyone who votes for democrats calls themselves a liberal. There's actually quite a lot of people who vote R or D for reasons that revolve around $$$ and not personal politics. These days, most Americans can be bought, especially with the frail Biden economy forcing many to tighten their belts and reign in spending. That's just a fact of life that money can make people do things they would otherwise never do on their own accord.

That's not a newsflash and I never claimed everyone who votes R/D is a conservative/progressive.

You said Lincoln Project was meant to turn conservatives away from Trump, I agree, and it makes sense since the LP guys seem to be actual conservatives - not sure about Rick Wilson, but the other 3.

All I know about their founders was one of the co founders got busted for being a pedo and was kicked out.

It doesn't look like the LP has ever been up to anything good. Where as PV at least was created with good intent, but was unfortunately captured, likely because O'Keefe constantly exposed powerful people or people working for powerful people. You might even refer to the people most threatened by O'Keefe as US oligarchs.

It sounds like you are not familiar with the many scandals that plagued the Lincoln Project.... Which is not surprising, since the lame stream media doesn't talk about stuff they don't want you to know about. I would recommend doing a quick search on the topic and see what comes up. Ted Cruz even mentioned "pedophiles at the Lincoln Project" when he got angry about the things they were saying about him and his family.

You don't think the Washington Examiner, WaPo, NYT, AP, and Axios - to name just a few - are "mainstream media"? They all evidently covered the accusations against Weaver, based on a quick Google. I just didn't read far enough down his Wiki page to see the harassment accusations.

The article you linked to in that post didn't mention Weaver at all, that I could see, it only mentions Stuart Stevens. Hence my request for clarification.

Harassment is never "laughable", no matter what form it takes.
