Project Veritas Headquarters Destroyed in Ida Floods

Hurricane Ida’s Northeast floods and tornadoes showed the visual reality of climate change, including at the headquarters of the “truth-seeking” organization Project Veritas. Photos from the group’s Mamaroneck, New York, base show tables flipped over, chairs stacked on top of one another, and multiple copies of leader James O’Keefe’s 2018 book American Pravda: My Fight for Truth in the Era of Fake News scattered on the floor. Its mascot, an alpaca named “Retracto,” was soaked.

The setback comes amid a damaging year for Project Veritas, which runs undercover stings in an effort to catch journalists or liberal figures saying embarrassing things. Twitter banned both Project Veritas and O‘Keefe in April for operating fake accounts. O’Keefe later sued Twitter.

I hope the victims of Hurricane Ida are quickly succored and restored to their homes. I hope Project Veritas was heavily uninsured and takes the hit for every penny of its loss.

Maybe this is God’s retribution for O’Keefe’s sinful ways? I’d like to think it is.

Pity so many innocents had to suffer and die to get this positive outcome.
