According to a longtime political consultant who was a victim of a Project Veritas sting that rightwing media networks found so egregious they wouldn't touch it, the collapse of Donald Trump's MAGA movement could repeat the what happened to Veritas which shut down this past week.
Noting that the organization founded by James O’Keefe dissolved after months of accusations of financial mismanagement by O'Keefe who used it as his "personal piggy bank," Robert Creamer suggested Trump is leading his MAGA adherents down the same path.
"Both Project Veritas and the MAGA movement were built around powerful, egocentric leaders who see themselves as above the law. Both were also constructed on the quicksand of conspiracy theories and lies," he wrote for MSNBC before predicting, "Veritas was brought down by a combination of outside demands for accountability, O’Keefe’s egotistical overreach, and internal divisions. And it appears that a similar fate awaits Trump’s MAGA empire."

After suggesting, "O’Keefe’s willingness to lie and his sense of being above the law were a precursor for Donald Trump when he entered the presidential race," Creamer claimed the similarities go even further.
"O’Keefe allegedly treated Project Veritas’ funds like his own piggy bank — much the way Trump treated the government’s classified documents, which he famously says are 'mine,'" he wrote.
He then added, "Like O’Keefe, Trump is now beginning to be held accountable by the courts and prosecutors who disagree that he is above the law. And now, like the team at Project Veritas, the MAGA Republicans in Congress — and across the country — are increasingly divided, in disarray, at each other’s throats."

"America — and democracy — are safer now that Project Veritas is done. It will be much safer yet when the entire MAGA movement follows Project Veritas into the dustbin of history," Creamer concluded.
