O'Keefe pushes back on Pentagon press restrictions

Source: The Hill

Conservative influencer James O’Keefe pushed back Saturday on the Pentagon’s new press restrictions on reporters covering the Defense Department (DOD), saying the U.S. government “should not be asking us to obey.”

“We should NOT be cheerleading this. The Supreme Court permits journalists to lawfully acquire info about a matter of public concern, (even [if] a source obtained it unlawfully),” O’Keefe said in a post on social platform X.

“Aside from publishing info that creates grave and imminent danger, Govt should not be asking us to obey.”

The DOD rolled out new constraints on reporters covering the agency on Friday, asking them not to print information that was not authorized by the Pentagon and warning if they do they risk losing access to the building.

Give me a fuckin break. He's a fetid piece of lying sh7t. Repulsive RW propagandist on the same level as Triple-K CK. This pig flourished way before Joe Rogaine so he's an example of a lack of education and reason in your average male white youth. Seems to me a problematic issue spanning some generations now. Easily gullible marks for insane RW propaganda.
