Twitter has suspended James O'Keefe of Project Veritas after he posted about CNN.

Project Veritas unveiled a video Tuesday the group says is of a CNN staffer describing how the network worked to show then-Presidential candidate Joe Biden in a favorable light during the 2020 presidential campaign.

James O’Keefe’s Twitter page now reads “account suspended,” signaling that the move is a permanent ban on his account.

In February, Twitter permanently suspended the account of the right-wing guerilla news outlet Project Veritas and locked its founder James O'Keefe out of his account.

And this time it looks like the social media website has suspended the founder's account too.

Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe says he is suing Twitter.

STATEMENT: 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. Section 230 may have protected them before, but it will not protect them from me. The complaint will be filed Monday.

Twitter said they have permanently banned Project Veritas founder for making fake Twitter accounts

James O'Keefe's account has been "permanently suspended," a Twitter spox says per their policy: "'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.'"

Here is the screenshot of the violation shared by James O'Keefe after his account was suspended:
