New York Times’s Adam Goldman and Mark Mazzetti relied upon “unclear” or unverified information to prop up its smears against Project Veritas, and it had to recycle a years-old story to do it, James O’Keefe said in an email rebutting a NY Times hit piece. [Read the story below]

New York Times “journalist” Adam Goldman reached out to me yesterday asking for comment on a Nothing-Burger story.

Cheney Speaks After Vote to Remove Her From Republican Leadership
Representative Liz Cheney of Wyoming was ousted from the House Republican leadership ranks on Wednesday over her refusal to stay quiet about Donald J. Trump’s election lies. Cheney said she would do everything she can to make sure that the former president doesn’t take office again.
“I am absolutely committed, as I said last night, and as I said, just now to my colleagues, that we must go forward based on truth. We cannot both embrace the big lie and embrace the Constitution. And going forward, the nation needs it. The nation needs a strong Republican Party. The nation needs a party that is based upon fundamental principles of conservatism. I will do everything I can to ensure that the former president, never again, gets anywhere near the Oval Office. We have seen the danger that he continues to provoke with his language. We have seen his lack of commitment and dedication to the Constitution.” Reporter
