Principal under fire after comments about not hiring Catholics, conservatives | Morning in America

A Connecticut school administrator has been placed on administrative leave and is under investigation by state education officials after a secretly recorded video appears to show him saying he avoids hiring conservatives and Catholics.

A covertly filmed edited video, posted by controversial far-right group Project Veritas, shows Cos Cob Elementary School assistant school principal Jeremy Boland talking to a woman at a series of restaurants in July.

A narrator on the video says the woman Boland was talking to was working with Project Veritas. Project Veritas is known for using undercover methods to reveal supposed liberal bias and has been accused of deceptive practices in the past. Project Veritas was recently involved in a scheme to buy a diary and other items stolen from President Joe Biden’s daughter, Ashley Biden. At least two people not associated with Project Veritas have pleaded guilty.

Mario Balaban, media relations manager for Project Veritas, joined NewsNation to discuss the video.
