It’s time to start fighting back.

Big Tech and social media are outright banning the truth, and they aren’t even trying to hide it anymore.

After James O’Keefe and Project Veritas exposed CNN for spreading lies and propaganda in a recent undercover video, Twitter promptly suspended O’Keefe from its platform.

O’Keefe, who was a guest Thursday on Fox News, announced that he’s fighting back.

He announced on ‘Hannity’ that he is suing the social media giant.

O’keefe explained:

“A lot of lawsuits coming from Project Veritas here. We won in the Supreme Court in New York against The New York Times for defamation, and now we’re going to go ahead and sue Twitter for suspending my account and falsely and maliciously claiming that I did something that I did not do.”

Fox News with the breaking story:

Project Veritas founder James O'Keefe told Fox News Thursday he will sue Twitter for "defamation" after the platform permanently suspended his account over the alleged use of "fake accounts".

A Twitter spokesperson told Fox News that O'Keefe was "permanently suspended for violating the Twitter Rules on platform manipulation and spam."

"As outlined in our policy on platform manipulation and spam, 'You can’t mislead others on Twitter by operating fake accounts,' and 'you can’t artificially amplify or disrupt conversations through the use of multiple accounts.'"

O'Keefe categorically denied Twitter's assertions, demanding the social meda giant point to the "fake accounts" and insisting the claims amount to "libel."

"I am suing Twitter for defamation because they said, I, James O'Keefe, 'operated fake accounts.' This is false, this is defamatory, and they will pay," the Project Veritas founder said in a statement to Fox News. "Section 230 may have protected them before, but it will not protect them from me. The complaint will be filed Monday."

Twitter has refused to comment on the matter.

James O'Keefe Announces He's Suing Twitter

Twitter has proven time and time again that they are out to censor the truth at any cost.

The New York Post broke the story of O'Keefe's Twitter ban on Thursday:

Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe’s Twitter account was suspended Thursday, a day after he released secretly-recorded video of a CNN staffer boasting that his network produced “propaganda” aimed at defeating President Donald Trump during the 2020 election.

Twitter gave no immediate reason for the suspension and a message on the account link said only that it was disabled due to a violation of “Twitter rules.”

CNN technical director Charlie Chester was featured in Project Veritas’ undercover video on Wednesday, saying that the network brought in medical experts to overdramatize Trump’s coronavirus health issues.

The admissions were taped during a fake Tinder date, in which Chester boasted the network “got Trump out” of office.

“Look what we did, we [CNN] got Trump out. I am 100 percent going to say it, and I 100 percent believe that if it wasn’t for CNN, I don’t know that Trump would have got voted out,” Chester said, adding that he came to work at CNN because he ”wanted to be a part of that.”

“Our focus was to get Trump out of office, right? Without saying it, that’s what it was.”

Chester also bragged in the sting tape that the network played up the COVID-19 death toll for ratings on order from top CNN brass.
