Asked about his personal politics by the Project Veritas operative, whom CNN reports presented himself as a documentarian, Wright said he considers himself a “socialist.” He added: “I think there should be national health insurance. I’m totally fine with reining in corporations, I think there are too many billionaires, and I think there’s a wealth gap — that’s a problem.”

Disgusting!

O'Keefe - Why hasn't someone kicked this phucker's ass yet.

Project Veritas is a bad actor - always has been - that recording need to be verified before taking any action.

Evidently, Americans no longer have the right to freedom of speech.

Wait, what? News correspondents are being held to purity test? they are being secretly recorded and 'reassigned'? 'Project Veritas is an American Right-wing activist group that uses 'disguises and hidden cameras to uncover supposed liberal bias and corruption' McCarthyism101

Maybe they should hit Fox next time.

Is this a second coming of the hollywood blacklist? Who doesn't have a the right to have any political bent?

Viva Socialism!!
