Project Veritas’ Epic Response to Rachel Maddow on Ashley Biden’s Diary – Opinion

We covered the following yesterday: New York Times managed to confirm that Ashley Biden’s diary was real while doing all it could not to report on the troubling contents of the diary that pertained to Joe Biden. Instead they attempted to take on Project Veritas because of their journalistic work regarding the diary.

It Times calls Project Veritas a “conservative group,” suggesting there’s a question as to whether they are even journalists. They even cast Veritas in support of Donald Trump, suggesting that this was an illegitimate attempt by Trump to undermine Biden’s journalism through Project Veritas.

Rachel Maddow went even further than that, suggesting that Project Veritas’ effort to obtain comment from Joe Biden about the diary was “extortion.”

“It does read, in the excerpts that you published…it does read like an extortion effort,” Maddow said to Michael Schmidt, one of the TimesThe story was covered by reporters.

Here’s what the request from Project Veritas for comment to Joe Biden allegedly was.

Project Veritas continued to try to leverage the diary. On Oct. 16, 2020, Project Veritas wrote to Mr. Biden and his campaign that it had obtained a diary Ms. Biden had “abandoned” and wanted to question Mr. Biden on camera about its contents that referred specifically to him.

“Should we not hear from you by Tuesday, October 20, 2020, we will have no choice but to act unilaterally and reserve the right to disclose that you refused our offer to provide answers to the questions raised by your daughter,” Project Veritas’ chief legal officer, Jered T. Ede, wrote.

Rachel Maddow isn’t much of a journalist and doesn’t know what a request for comment from a real journalist looks like. So James O’Keefe, Project Veritas’ head, had to school her on it with the perfect response in the form of a Tik Tok video.

O’Keefe noted their letter to Biden was a request for comment, not unlike the request for comment that the TimesHad sent Project Veritas before they did their hit segment.

No matter how you slice it, that’s funny stuff right there. This just demolished Maddow. It showed how bias she was, and how ignorant she was about the journalistic process.

O’Keefe’s bit was a take-off on the ‘Ramen guy” video that mocked Chris Cuomo. Cuomo was captured eating uncooked Ramen and took over. Cuomo claimed that it doesn’t say protests should be peaceful.

As the man put the seasoning on his ramen and took a big bite, he pointed to the Constitution behind his head where it had the First Amendment words, “the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress.” He says, “It’s the First Amendment. Just gotta look it up, Mr. Co-mo.”

Project Veritas offered another view of Rachel Maddow. It also got points for accuracy, given Rachel’s clownish behavior.

Based on @maddow, journalism = extortion 🤡 pic.twitter.com/furRm2gjfe

Bottom line, Rachel Maddow wouldn’t know journalism if she tripped over it. Only she can act like a Democratic agent. O’Keefe gloriously exposed that and owned her in the process.

O’Keefe you magnificent bastard… https://t.co/CiGoXmYN80
