Barry Hinckley is the heir to the Hinckley Yachts family, a failed Senate candidate from Rhode Island, and CEO of a failed company that called itself the Airbnb of private house parties. Why did he attack @JamesOKeefeIII in just four months?

I have ZERO doubt that @JamesOKeefeIII is a crazy man who is hard to work for, but without James, there would be no PV. Firing him would be the end of @Project_Veritas. The answer is to build a team who can support James not undermine him. I'm game.
