Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe’s Twitter account was suspended Thursday, a day after he released secretly-recorded video of a CNN staffer boasting that his network produced “propaganda” aimed at defeating President Donald Trump during the 2020 election.

Twitter gave no immediate reason for the suspension and a message on the account link said only that it was disabled due to a violation of “Twitter rules.”

CNN technical director Charlie Chester was featured in Project Veritas’ undercover video on Wednesday, saying that the network brought in medical experts to overdramatize Trump’s coronavirus health issues.

The admissions were taped during a fake Tinder date, in which Chester boasted the network “got Trump out” of office.

“Look what we did, we [CNN] got Trump out. I am 100​ percent going to say it, and I 100​ percent believe that if it wasn’t for CNN, I don’t know that Trump would have got voted out,” Chester said, adding that he came to work at CNN because he ​​”wanted to be a part of that.”

“Our focus was to get Trump out of office, right? Without saying it, that’s what it was.”

Chester also bragged in the sting tape that the network played up the COVID-19 death toll for ratings on order from top CNN brass.

Both Twitter and Facebook took extraordinary censorship measures against The Post in October, 2020, over its exposés about Hunter Biden’s emails — with Twitter baselessly charging that “hacked materials” were used.

Twitter kept The Post’s primary account locked for two weeks leading up to the election, after The Post refused Twitter’s demand that it delete six tweets that linked to stories that the company claimed — without any evidence — were based on hacked information form a Hunter Biden laptop left with a repairman.

The Post never budged, and kept the tweets on the account during the standoff — even as Twitter obscured them from view.

In a series of tweets, the social-media giant said it was revising its “Hacked Materials Policy” and “updating our practice of not retroactively overturning prior enforcement.”

“Our policies are living documents,” said one of the tweets from @TwitterSafety.

“We’re willing to update and adjust them when we encounter new scenarios or receive important feedback from the public.”
