CNN Director Bolts After Being Confronted By James OâKeefe Over Stunning Admissions Made On Video
Project Veritas founder James OâKeefe released a video of him confronting CNN Technical Director Charlie Chester after Chester made stunning admissions about the left-wing networkâs partisan agenda while talking to an undercover journalist.
OâKeefe confronted Chester at a restaurant where Chester had been talking to the undercover journalist. The journalist got up and left the table and Chester was under the impression that she was going to return.
OâKeefe walked up to the table with a camera crew and pressed Chester about the admissions that he made on camera.
Chester responded by using coronavirus guidelines to try to get out of having to answer questions, saying that OâKeefe was too close and was not wearing a mask, even though Chester was also not wearing a mask.
Chester quickly left the restaurant and refused to answer questions before speeding off in a car.
In the first round of videos that Project Veritas released, Chester said that the network is aggressively attacking Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) âto keep hurting himâ because he was a âproblemâ for Democrats and it would be âgreatâ for the Democrat Party âto get him out.â
Chester also admitted that the network worked to remove President Donald Trump from office, they create propaganda, and that they use fear to advance their climate agenda.
TRANSCRIPT:
JAMES OâKEEFE: Charlie, is this seat taken? ⊠Iâm James OâKeefe with Project Veritas. Youâre a technical director at CNN. Youâre on camera talking about the importance of âgetting Trump out of officeâ without saying thatâs what your intent is.

CHARLIE CHESTER, CNN DIRECTOR: Like our focus was to get Trump out of office, right? Without saying it, thatâs what it was, right?
Look what we did, we got Trump out.
[END VIDEO]
OâKEEFE: Thatâs â youâre on tape saying this.
CHESTER: Not interested in talking to you.
OâKEEFE: I just want to ask you-
CHESTER: Iâve asked you now, youâre close, youâre within six feet of me without your mask on.
OâKEEFE: I can stand six feet away from you and ask you the same questions. That sounds like a good idea.
CHESTER: Youâre not going to get me to talk about anything⊠Soâ
OâKEEFE: Well, you also said that it was in your words, âpropaganda.â
[START VIDEO]
CHESTER: We were, we were creating a story there that we didnât know anything about, you know? Thatâs what I think is propaganda.
[END VIDEO]
OâKEEFE: Iâm quoting you here.
CHESTER: Iâm not talking to you guys.
OâKEEFE: Alright, well youâve already spoken with us. ⊠You admit your network is helping certain candidates for political officer and youâre admitting that you wanted to hide it. Why hide it Charlie? Why hide it? They never have the courage to say publicly what they will say privately. Thatâs courage right there. Thatâs courage. Yeah, drive away. You wonât be able to drive away from the truth. How do you sleep at night?
Charlie had nothing to say, certainly shocked. We had asked him about his comments. He said the quite part out loud.
