This comes after O’Keefe posted multiple videos of a CNN employee that were filmed undercover at various bars and restaurants. The CNN employee was under the impression that he was on a series of Tinder dates, per a source familiar.
They aren't arguing the words from the mouth of this CNN 'employee' are true or not- but we must silence the right from exposing the truth...

What did the CNN **** say?
On BLM and hate crimes, CNN Technical Director Charlie Chester said:
“I was trying to do some research on the Asian hate, like the people [who] are getting attacked and whatnot. A bunch of black men have been attacking Asians. I’m like ‘What are you doing? Like, we [CNN] are trying to help BLM.’”
“The optics of that are not good. These [are] little things that are enough to set back movements, because the far will start to latch on and create stories like ‘criminalizing an entire people,’ you know, just easier headlines that way, I guess.”
When asked by Project Veritas’ undercover journalist about the network covering shooters who are from different racial backgrounds, Chester responded:
“Yeah I, for the longest while, the story was like, people were lapping up that it was like, you know, white guys for like so long. I don’t, I haven’t seen anything about focusing on the color of people’s skin that aren’t white. They just aren’t saying anything. You know what I mean? They’re just not, all of a sudden that story loses a little steam from it. They just like leave it be.”
During Project Veritas’ first release this week, Chester made the following remarks on CNN and its employees working to oust Trump from office:
“Look what we did, we [CNN] got Trump out. I am 100% going to say it, and I 100% believe that if it wasn’t for CNN, I don’t know that Trump would have got voted out…I came to CNN because I wanted to be a part of that.”
“It’s going to be our [CNN’s] focus. Like our focus was to get Trump out of office, right? Without saying it, that’s what it was, right? So, our next thing is going to be climate change awareness.”
On CNN creating “propaganda” to damage Trump, Chester said:
“[Trump’s] hand was shaking or whatever, I think. We brought in so many medical people to tell a story that was all speculation — that he was neurologically damaged, and he was losing it. He’s unfit to — you know, whatever. We were creating a story there that we didn’t know anything about. That’s what — I think that’s propaganda.”
During Project Veritas’ second release this week, Chester said:
“Any reporter on CNN — what they’re actually doing is they’re telling the person what to say… It’s always like leading them in a direction before they even open their mouths. The only people that we [CNN] will let on the air, for the most part, are people that have a proven track record of taking the bait.”
“I think there’s an art to manipulation…Inflection, saying things twice — there’s little subtleties to how to manipulate people…I mean, it’s enough to change the world, you know?”
:whatever:
