James O’Keefe, wife of James O’Keefe and American political activist, was born on June 28, 1984, in Bergen County, New Jersey, United States of America.

O’Keefe grew up in Westwood, New Jersey. According to his father, his family was politically “conservative, but not consistent.”

He completed his high school education at Westwood, where he first developed a passion for the performing arts, theater and journalism. He received the Boy Scouts of America’s highest honor, the Eagle Scout.

In 2002, O’Keefe enrolled at Rutgers University and declared philosophy as his major. During his sophomore year, he began writing a biweekly opinion piece for The Daily Targum, the university’s student newspaper.

With the help of a $500 Balance in the Media grant from the Leadership Institute, he left Targum and founded Rutgers Centurion, a conservative student newspaper.

He and other Centurion authors met with Rutgers dining staff for his first video demanding the removal of Lucky Charms cereal from dining halls because they insulted Irish-Americans.

The leprechaun mascot embodied a stereotype, according to O’Keefe. He wanted to give the impression that civil servants were stupid by agreeing to ban lucky charms or by being insensitive towards an ethnic minority.

They expected to be kicked out, but the Rutgers official was polite, took notes and assured them their concerns would be addressed. Rutgers officials say the cereal was never removed from the menu.

Career of James O’Keefe

O’Keefe is an American political activist and provocateur who founded Project Veritas, a far-right activist organization that uses deceptive editorial methods to target progressive organizations and mainstream media.

Both O’Keefe and Project Veritas have produced secretly recorded audio and video encounters at government, nonprofit, and academic institutions that purport to show representatives of those institutions acting abusively or illegally; the recordings are often edited to distort the context of the conversations and the subjects’ responses.

O’Keefe first gained attention for his selectively edited videos of employees at the offices of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) in 2009, and his arrest and guilty plea to burglary of the federal office of then-U.S. Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA). under false pretenses in 2010 and by posting misleading videos of conversations with two senior executives, now former NPR executives, in 2011.

The United States Congress moved to withhold funding from the nonprofit after seeing its grossly doctored recordings, which appeared to show ACORN employees helping a couple plan a crime.

Before investigations into the recordings determined that there was no illegal behavior, the nonprofit also lost most of its private funding in the wake of the national scandal. ACORN was forced to close or rename most of its offices in March 2010 because the company was on the verge of bankruptcy.

Shortly thereafter, the U.S. Government Accountability Office and the California Attorney General’s Office prepared corresponding investigative reports.

According to the Attorney General’s Office, ACORN California employees did not violate any laws and concluded that O’Keefe misrepresented their conduct.

GAO’s preliminary investigation found that ACORN used federal funds judiciously. One of the fired ACORN employees filed a lawsuit against O’Keefe for invasion of privacy; In response, O’Keefe apologized and agreed to pay the plaintiff $100,000.

Alongside the far right, O’Keefe has won the support of right-wing and conservative media and advocacy groups.

In 2009, he signed a contract with Andrew Breitbart with the possibility of distributing new films exclusively on BigGovernment.
