Twitter locked the account of investigative journalist James O’Keefe last month after he and Project Veritas released undercover footage showing Bernie Sanders staffers praising Stalin’s gulags and promising that “cities will burn” if Donald Trump is re-elected. According to Project Veritas, “Twitter’s end game is likely similar to that of their Silicon Valley friend Google; in the words of Google’s Head of Innovation Jen Gennai ‘Prevent the next Trump situation.’”
Twitter claims it locked O’Keefe’s account because of “privacy violations,” after O’Keefe posted a publicly available FEC paystub of one of the Sanders’ staffers who praised violence and gulags.
Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe blasted Twitter for suggesting his tweet violated anyone’s privacy.
“At Project Veritas we respect the rights of privacy,” said O’Keefe in a statement to Breitbart News. “Professional codes of ethics instruct journalists to minimize harm to the public, requiring an “overriding” public interest to invade someone’s privacy.”
“In the case of our recent Twitter suspension, Twitter said we had violated their rules for ‘posting private information.’ But the information we published was a screen shot from a U.S Government website, certainly not private. But even if it was private, the information did meet the threshold of ‘overriding’ public interest.”
Bernie 2020 Staffer Kyle Jurek was recorded by Project Veritas saying things such as:
“Fucking cities will burn if Trump is re-elected.”
“There’s a reason Joseph Stalin had Gulags, right? And actually, Gulags are a lot better than what the CIA has told us they were…”
“The cops are gonna be the ones that are getting f*cking beaten in Milwaukee. They’re gonna call up the National Guard for that sh*t. I promise you that.”

Now why would SOMEONE CENSURE something like this except to keep the TRUTH about who is running the Bernie campaign....and has the POWER to control Twitter.
