...after OKeefe released undercover footage showing Mannina admitting discussing plans with retired generals to ‘protect people from Trump.’ When pressed by James O’Keefe on his comments, Mannina became defensive, saying, "Get the fuck out of here," denying his statements by claiming, “I didn’t say anything,” despite O’Keefe presenting the video evidence. "You’re on video saying these things," O’Keefe responded. O’Keefe pressed further, asking, “Do you think it's ethical… to be doing this political stuff while a senior advisor within the Pentagon?” to which Mannina repeatedly demanded, "Leave me alone," before calling O’Keefe "a known liar", “a known fraud,” and a “loser,” before fleeing the scene.
