Chelsea Manning Mingles With James OKeefe During Hard Right Gala

[DURHAM D]

Chelsea Manning was caught mingling with Project Veritas’ James O’Keefe and a handful of hard right media strategists at a Hell’s Kitchen nightclub.

The event Manning and O’Keefe briefly spoke at was a gala hosted by conservative reporter Mike Cernovich—a regular host on Alex Jones’ Info Wars who previously peddled the Pizzagate conspiracy theory. In addition to O’Keefe and Cernovich, Manning met with former Vice Media co-founder Gavin Mcinnes, who launched the nationalist organization Proud Boys in 2016.

Guests at the event were predominately supporters of President Donald Trump.

“I fucking crashed!” Manning told Observer when asked whether her appearance at the party contradicted her platform as a leader of the anti-Trump resistance.

“Hell yeah!” Manning enthusiastically added.

1. Strange? Perhaps not so much...

[RhodeIslandOne]

2. What a shock

[Laf.La.Dem.]

3. She is just being USED by the "hard right"!

[TheDebbieDee]

7. Recruited by the hard right to run against another Dem...

to dilute the Democratic vote and weaken their opponent - a sitting Dem. Is Chelsea Manning even a Democrat?

Hey? Didn't we see this scenario play out in the 2016 Dem Primary between Sen Sanders and party favorite Sec Clinton?

[pangaia]

26. Sen Sanders was " Recruited by the hard right....?"

[TheDebbieDee]

33. In the beginning, Sen Sanders did receive some financial backing for his campaign

from groups/people that were interested in Sec Clinton's defeat...

[Drahthaardogs]

19. I think she has a personality disorder and NEEDS to be

The center of attention

[Historic NY]

32. like 45....she dabbling with the third rail here.

[yardwork]

4. No surprise. They all work for the same organization.

5. From Buzzfeed

In the early hours of the party, Manning could be seen smiling and socializing with attendees, including pro-Trump Twitter personality Cassandra Fairbanks. Fairbanks, who reports for Gateway Pundit, has been a vocal supporter of Wikileaks and has publicly exchanged messages with Manning on Twitter.

Manning left before the evening's speeches ended. Shortly after her departure, another guest told BuzzFeed News that Manning was "crashing" the gala, and suggested that the former whistleblower did not attend because of her political views.

Hours later, Manning issued a tweet that appeared to disavow the event as a "fascist/white supremacist hate brigade party." Manning did not respond to a request for comment.

Others who spoke with Manning Saturday night described her attitude towards the party differently. A source who attended and who knows Manning told BuzzFeed News that "while she was not there protesting, she was there in a effort to bridge gaps between left and right."

Since she was in NYC did she attend the Women’s March yesterday?

20. "..bridging a gap"? she got busted and they must think everyone is

as stupid as the suckers who fall for stein's shite.

Thanks Tammy

8. Surprising? Not.

"A source who attended and who knows Manning told BuzzFeed News that "while she was not there protesting, she was there in a effort to bridge gaps between left and right."

Of course. That would be in the same way Glenn Greenwald is attempting 'bridge gaps.'

This is also known as the horseshoe theory, where the far left meets the far right and lives happily ever after.

When you're mingling with the likes of James O'Keefe, save the explanations for the dimwits. Or give it up.

9. Attention whoring.

[Me.]

10. There Should NOw Be No Doubts

and this story should be spread far and wide. Aside from, IMHO, having betrayed her country, she is a liar of the first order.

[mainer]

11. Dems should stay far, far away from her.

She will very handily lose the election on our behalf if she's our candidate

[Initech]

12. Agreed!

Especially if she's hanging out with those assholes!

[R B Garr]

27. Yup, and there has already been an unprincipled Clinton basher

with a radio show posting propaganda about Democrats not supporting her —- uh, candidacy. So transparent.

[nocalflea]

13. Boy , is she trouble with a capital T.

Folks are less forgiving a second time around and she's spending her "goodwill" capital in all the wrong places.

[Initech]

14. They're setting her up to be a mole.

It should be no coincidence that she's running for a seat that is a member of the senate intelligence committee. And her being in bed with those dangerous lunatics? If they were to get their hands on classified information? What could go wrong?

[bronxiteforever]

15. Auditioning as the new Jill Stein

[Mr. Ected]

16. Say "Chelsea Manning", Think "Jill Stein" n/m

[SweetieD]

17. I'm not surprised. I had always assumed they were right wing.

[Initech]

18. Project Veritas and Infowars are definitely not our friends.

[SaschaHM]

21. Here she is in December w/ her cadre of alt-right trolls as well.

Link to tweet

Normally, I'm not one for the "You took pics with these people so you must agree with them", but the notion that she just "crashed" a party last night or is trying to create bridges is complete bullshit. I wouldn't trust her as far as I can throw her.

[R B Garr]

25. Great catch. She is just a nasty RW troll. nt

[DURHAM D]

30. Agree.

[DURHAM D]

31. Thanks for posting. nt

[Initech]

35. I hate those assholes.

I honestly would have been much better off not knowing who Jack Posobiec and Mike Cernovich were, but it seems they are everywhere. And Chelsea being in bed with them and running as a democrat for a seat that is in the Senate Intelligene Committee can't be a good thing.

[Kirk Lover]

22. You know what I really have a problem with the most is that she gets pardoned for a very serious

crime and gets a second chance and this is what she does with it. Shoulda left that ass in jail.

[R B Garr]

24. Yup, pretty much this. It wont be long before she

screws up again, though. Lock her back up. She’s obviously just an attention seeking troll, just like her traitor RW pals.

[Scurrilous]

23. She's a leader of the anti-Trump resistance?

Since fucking when?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

28. Guess her primary challenge won't amount to much

[ismnotwasm]

29. Why, yes she did.

Not surprised

[L. Coyote]

34. Probably there asking how to contact the Russian money laundry.

"I need so right-wing financing to primary a Dem."
