Snakes Eating Snakes

They always turn on their own.

The conservative guerrilla filmmaker James O’Keefe and his organization, Project Veritas, have been sued for wrongful termination by a former employee.

As first reported by Slate’s David Weigel, Daniel Francisco initiated the lawsuit in Westchester County, N.Y. Supreme Court on Jan. 27. Francisco, who until earlier this year worked as the executive director of Project Veritas, claimed in a court filing that he had been “wrongfully terminated” by Project Veritas, that Project Veritas had “breached its contract” with him by not paying for his final week of employment, and that O’Keefe personally had “defamed” him following his departure from the organization. The lawsuit seeks monetary damages and a declaratory judgment to stop O’Keefe from “further defaming” Francisco.

In case you don’t remember, Mr. O’Keefe was the little twerp who dressed up like what he thought a pimp would look like and filmed himself covertly trying to pull some shenanigans on ACORN.  The heavily edited film went viral, ACORN went under, and he became a darling on Fox News.  He then ran into trouble with the feds for trying to pull the same shit on Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA), but was busted and plead out.

People are lined up around the block to sue him, so I hope Mr. Francisco isn’t paying his lawyer by the hour.

One bark on “Snakes Eating Snakes

  1. Some day, O’Keefe will do something so outrageously illegal that he’ll end up in prison. I dislike him so much that even his photo makes me ill.
