James Edward O’Keefe III, an American political activist and provocateur, was born on June 28, 1984.

He is the founder of Project Veritas, a far-right activist organisation that uses deceptive editing methods to criticise mainstream media outlets and progressive organisations.

Who is James O’Keefe’s mother Deborah O’Keefe?

James Edward O’Keefe III was born in Bergen County, New Jersey to James, a materials engineer, and Deborah O’Keefe, a physical therapist. There isn’t much information about his mother available on the internet.

In Westwood, New Jersey, O’Keefe was raised. According to his father, the political stance of his household was “conservative but not rigorously so.” He graduated from Westwood High School, where he first displayed an interest in the performing arts, journalism, and drama. The Boy Scouts of America’s Eagle Scout rank was obtained by him.

O’Keefe and Project Veritas have both produced covertly taped undercover audio and video encounters in governmental, nonprofit, and academic institutions that purport to show representatives of those institutions acting abusively or illegally; the recordings are frequently edited to distort the context of the conversations and the subjects’ responses.
