U.S. Senate candidate Krystle Matthews (D-South Carolina) evades questioning from Project Veritas Action Reporter James Lalino in the aftermath of the news organization’s reporting on Matthews' racially inflammatory comments. The comments have sparked outrage in the state leading to bipartisan calls for her resignations.

U.S. Senate Candidate Krystle Matthews (D-S.C.): Treat White People ‘Like Sh*t’ • Krystle Matthews, South Carolina Democrat candidate for U.S. Senate: “Let me tell you one thing. You ought to know who you’re dealing with. You gotta treat them [white people] like sh*t. I mean, that’s the only way they’ll respect you. I keep them right here -- like under my thumbs. That’s where I keep – like, you have to. Otherwise, they get out of control -- like kids.” • Matthews: “I know other people are tiptoeing around them [white people]. And I’m like, ‘Yo, that’s some white sh*t. I ain’t doing that.’ They be like, ‘Well, I’m just gonna say some white sh*t.’ That was my problem with Bernie [Sanders], because he was talking to an all-black crowd, and he was afraid to say black sh*t. I said, ‘If I’m talking to an all-black crowd, I’m gonna say black sh*t. Now if you don’t like it, you get your ass up and leave.’” • Matthews: “We need somebody who understands street gangs that we can clean up and put in a f**king suit. [Somebody] that knows like, again, we [are] all working towards the same goal, and we all know what the play is…Almost like a secret society – exclusive membership.” • Matthews: “Where’s the gangstas? Where the street n**gas at? Like, where they at? I’m telling you them n**gas were foolish, but you can’t out-swindle them. They might not know all the college words, but you can’t hustle them – can’t f**k with their money. They see the game a mile away. Where they at? We need to put some of them in a suit and tie.” [CHARLESTON, S.C. – Sept. 7, 2022] Project Veritas Action released a new video today exposing South Carolina’s Democrat U.S. Senate candidate, Krystle Matthews, in which she admits to her bias against white voters and encourages gang members to enter politics. While being covertly recorded in a conversation with a Veritas journalist, Matthews says that her treatment of white people in South Carolina is her way of exerting control over the demographic. “Let me tell you one thing. You ought to know who you’re dealing with. You gotta treat them [white people] like sh*t. I mean, that’s the only way they’ll respect you. I keep them right here – like under my thumbs. That’s where I keep – like, you have to. Otherwise, they get out of control – like kids,” Matthews said. “I know other people are tiptoeing around them [white people]. And I’m like, ‘Yo, that’s some white sh*t. I ain’t doing that,’” she said. “They be like, ‘Well, I’m just gonna say some white sh*t.’ That was my problem with Bernie [Sanders], because he was talking to an all-black crowd, and he was afraid to say black sh*t. I said, ‘If I’m talking to an all-black crowd, I’m gonna say black sh*t. Now if you don’t like it, you get your ass up and leave.’” In newly released audio between Matthews and a prison inmate, the Democrat U.S. Senate candidate is recorded discussing political strategy that involves street gang members. “We need somebody who understands street gangs that we can clean up and put in a f**king suit. [Somebody] that knows like, again, we [are] all working towards the same goal, and we all know what the play is…Almost like a secret society – exclusive membership,” she said. “Where’s the gangstas? Where the street n**gas at? Like, where they at? I’m telling you them n**gas were foolish, but you can’t out-swindle them. They might not know all the college words, but you can’t hustle them -- can’t f**k with their money. They see the game a mile away. Where they at? We need to put some of them in a suit and tie.”

BREAKING: Campaign Staffer for Sen. Lisa Murkowski Describes ‘Dark Money’ in Alaska Politics ... ‘Dark Money Would be Bad for Lisa if the Other Campaigns Start Highlighting It’ ... Voters ‘Don't Look for This Stuff’ • Project Veritas Action has published a new undercover video inside Sen. Lisa Murkowski’s campaign that shows a staff member revealing how “dark money” messaging was used to promote Ballot Measure 2, but it would be bad for Murkowski if Alaskans knew the real intent behind that messaging. • Josiah Nash, who works as the campaign’s interior coordinator is seen on the recordings saying it would be “bad” for “Lisa if the other campaigns start highlighting it [dark money messaging].” • Nash also discussed how Ballot Measure 2 [which Project Veritas Action revealed was passed with the assistance of Murkowski loyalists with her re-election in mind] was passed with strategic messaging. “We messaged for ‘dirty money’ and we knew that that was something that specifically resonated with Alaska,” Nash says in the videos. “And we could say - yeah, this goes in with voting reform and so, if people accepted that enough then the vote can pass,” he adds. • Nash: “Most people, you know, aren’t into politics as probably as much as we are, and so they don’t look for this stuff. Where it would be an issue is if the MAGA people and Kelly Tshibaka started [highlighting this] as a major part of their campaign.” • Emma Ashlock, the same Campaign Coordinator for Lisa Murkowski’s campaign who revealed the links between Murkowski and those pushing the Ranked Choice Voting System, is also featured in these new recordings discussing a Political Action Committee “which is kind of an outside funding source” that supports Senator Murkowski. [ANCHORAGE, ALASKA – Aug. 11, 2022] Project Veritas Action released a new video today in the aftermath of Wednesday’s story which exposed Senator Lisa Murkowski’s connection to Ballot Measure 2 [Ranked-Choice Voting]. In the new video, undercover recordings show a staff member for Senator Lisa Murkowski’s re-election campaign revealing how insincere “dark money” messaging was used to promote Ballot Measure 2 and how it would be “bad” for “Lisa if the other campaigns start highlighting it.” “We messaged for ‘dirty money’ and we knew that that was something that specifically resonated with Alaska,” Nash says in the videos. “And we could say - yeah, this goes in with voting reform and so, if people accepted that enough then the vote can pass,” he adds. Nash added that he does not “think people have enough time to go and look through all the other things or have any interest,” in an apparent reference to Alaskan voters. Also noteworthy was Nash’s commentary that “most people, you know, aren’t into politics as probably as much as we are, and so they don’t look for this stuff. Where it would be an issue is if the MAGA people and Kelly Tshibaka started [highlighting this] as a major part of their campaign.” Emma Ashlock, the same Campaign Coordinator for Lisa Murkowski’s campaign who revealed the links between Murkowski and those pushing the Ranked Choice Voting System is also featured in these new recordings discussing a Political Action Committee “which is kind of an outside funding source” that supports Senator Murkowski. The Murkowski for Senate campaign has not yet responded to a request for a comment this week.

VIDEO: Sen. Murkowski Questioned by Project Veritas Action Journalist on Staying ‘Quiet’ During the Approval Process of Ranked-Choice Voting in Alaska, Measure Allegedly Ensured She Would Be ‘Re-Elected’ • Project Veritas Action press secretary RC Maxwell approached Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and her campaign’s Comms Director, Shea Siegert, to ask them about the recent revelations made by her paid campaign staff members affirming that Ballot Measure 2 [Ranked-Choice Voting] was designed to keep the incumbent Senator in office. • Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK): “Ballot Measure 2 was an initiative led by the people in the state of Alaska.” • Sen. Murkowski: “[The] ballot initiative made it through the Alaska process, and you have the results that you have.” • Sen. Murkowski: “All of us here in this state now are living with a new system, and it’s new for all of us.” • Shea Siegert, Sen. Murkowski Campaign, Communications Director: “I did” previously work to pass Ballot Measure 2 and currently work for Murkowski’s re-election campaign. [ANCHORAGE, ALASKA – Aug. 10, 2022] Project Veritas Action released another video today which shows Alaska Senator, Lisa Murkowski, responding to our journalist’s questions on her campaign’s alleged conflict of interest with the recent law that installed ranked-choice voting in the state. Sen. Murkowski provided polished statements to the PVA journalist and did not address the statements made by her own staffers on video. “Ballot Measure 2 [ranked-choice voting] was an initiative led by the people in the state of Alaska,” Sen. Murkowski said. “[The] ballot initiative made it through the Alaska process, and you have the results that you have,” she said. “All of us here in this state now are living with a new system, and it’s new for all of us.” Also present was Sen. Murkowski Campaign’s Comms Director, Shea Siegert, who acknowledged that he, himself, was involved with Ballot Measure 2 a few years ago and now works in the Senator’s re-election campaign. In a video released earlier by Project Veritas Action, two paid Murkowski staffers mentioned Siegert by name, saying that he played a key role in ensuring the passage of ranked-choice voting in Alaska. One of the recorded staffers even said that the campaign became familiar with Siegert because of his work on Ballot Measure 2. RC MAXWELL, PROJECT VERITAS ACTION, PRESS SECRETARY: You worked on Ballot Measure 2 as well, correct? SHEA SIEGERT, SEN. MURKOWSKI CAMPAIGN, COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR: I did. MAXWELL: And you’re also Ms. Murkowski’s Comms Director. You’re just saying that this was a ballot measure voted on by the people. I’m telling you that your staffers are saying that this was on the ballot by an effort of Murkowski-affiliated- SIEGERT: Absolutely not. MAXWELL: The fact that Rachel Kallander, yourself, Jackson; there are multiple staff members who worked on Ballot Measure 2 and also on your campaign. SIEGERT: Thank you. MAXWELL: You want security to clear me out, but you don’t want to answer my question, sir? Project Veritas Action also reached out to Siegert for comment via email. He has not responded to that request.

BREAKING: Staffers Claim Sen. Lisa Murkowski Secretly Supported Ranked Voting System in Alaska to Ensure Election Victory ... ‘She Stayed Quiet and Honestly it was Probably Best She Stayed Quiet on That’ ... ‘Behind Closed Doors We'll Have Talks’ • Josiah Nash, Murkowski Campaign Interior Coordinator: “She stayed quiet” but “she supports it, yeah.” • Nash: “Between you and me, Ballot Measure 2 [Ranked Voting System] was actually created -- I think it was created for two reasons. Number one, it was created because there were people in this state who wanted to see a better system, but they also wanted Lisa [Murkowski] to get re-elected.” • Nash: “We’re being strategic with our messaging. Walking a fine line, I guess is what I’m saying, to try to get her elected.” • Emma Ashlock, Murkowski Campaign Coordinator: “While we were working on Ballot Measure 2 and voting for Ballot Measure 2, we had Senator Murkowski in mind the whole time.” • Ashlock: “I think she [Sen. Murkowski] technically stayed neutral [on Ballot Measure 2], but like, behind the scenes…” • Ashlock: “I know a lot of people who were working on Ballot Measure 2 … have worked for Senator Murkowski.” [ANCHORAGE, ALASKA – Aug. 10, 2022] Project Veritas Action released a new video today exposing two paid staff members for Senator Lisa Murkowski’s re-election campaign in Alaska. In the video, Josiah Nash, who works as the campaign’s Interior Coordinator, is recorded admitting that while Sen. Murkowski was publicly neutral, she secretly supported the implementation of a ranked voting system in Alaska because that is her route to victory. “She stayed quiet and honestly it was probably best she stayed quiet on that,” Nash said, adding that “she supports it, yeah.” “You’re not going to see the campaign come out and necessarily support progressive things. I mean, behind closed doors we’ll have talks…” Nash continued. “We’re being strategic with our messaging. Walking a fine line, I guess is what I’m saying, to try to get her elected,” he said. Nash suggests Measure 2 was not honestly presented to Alaskans and helps progressive candidates. “They framed it [Ballot Measure 2] basically, you know, ‘This gives you more choice’ -- ‘This makes it so we have better candidates.’ And I think it helps progressive candidates…If it was [called] a progressive measure, it wouldn’t really work,” he said. Another paid Murkowski campaign official, Emma Ashlock, echoed Nash’s comments; admitting on camera that Ballot Measure 2 secretly benefited Sen. Murkowski and that several people who currently work in the Murkowski campaign were previously involved in passing Ballot Measure 2. One of those people is Shea Siegert, Murkowski’s Comms Director. “I know a lot of people who were working on Ballot Measure 2. I don’t think Shea has ever worked for Senator Murkowski [before], but I know a lot of other people who worked on that have worked for Senator Murkowski,” she said. “While we were working on Ballot Measure 2 and voting for Ballot Measure 2, we had Senator Murkowski in mind the whole time,” Ashlock said. Nash echoed a similar sentiment, “Between you and me, Ballot Measure 2 [Ranked Voting System] was actually created -- I think it was created for two reasons. Number one, it was created because there were people in this state who wanted to see a better system, but they also wanted Lisa [Murkowski] to get re-elected.” Ashlock also suggested that Murkowski, a Republican, benefits from Democrats voting in the primary. “From our data guys, Tyler and Roman, they say the race is gonna come down to Kelly Tshibaka and Senator Murkowski. So, anyone who votes for Pat Chesbro first and ranks Senator Murkowski second, that vote is gonna become a vote for Senator Murkowski… Every single Pat Chesbro voter who ranks Senator Murkowski second, we get their votes. If we can get people to do that, then we have it in the bag,” she said. “I think she [Sen. Murkowski] technically stayed neutral [on Ballot Measure 2], but like, behind the scenes…”
