Lincoln Project reportedly scrubs co-founder from website amid allegations he groomed young men for sex



Anti-Trump Super PAC, the Lincoln Project, has reportedly erased the "Our Team" page from its website amid unverified allegations that one of its founders was involved in "grooming" younger men for sex, the Washington Free Beacon reported.

What are the details?

On Thursday evening, following reports that some had stepped forward on Twitter to accuse the founder in question, John Weaver, of the troubling behavior, the Lincoln Project curiously started erasing his existence from its website.

After the website had allegedly been scrubbed, Twitter profile, "Comfortably Smug," posted screenshots of the "Our Team" page as well as a separate bio page for Weaver as proof that they were both taken down.

As of Friday afternoon, both pages were nowhere to be found on the website.

In the tweet, Comfortably Smug alleged that the scrubbing curiously happened after Fox News host Laura Ingraham tweeted out a RedState story about the allegations against Weaver.

Weaver — a longtime establishment Republican operative who advised the late Sen. John McCain from 1997-2007 and is married to a woman — became the target of an onslaught of accusations on Twitter last week after author Ryan Girdusky accused him on the platform of "grooming" and "offering jobs" to young men "in exchange for sex" throughout his career.

RedState reported that "after Girdusky's tweets ... it was like the floodgates opened as young men stepped forward to talk about their (alleged) creepy experiences with Weaver."

What else?

Girdusky would later flesh out some of the accusations he claimed to be aware of in an article published by the American Conservative. Included in the article, were screenshots of messages from young men to Girdusky describing Weaver's alleged inappropriate behavior.

In one of the messages, a former college student recalled receiving a late-night phone call from Weaver during which he was asked about his height and weight. When the student answered saying he was "about average," Weaver allegedly replied, "Oh my boy, I'm sure certain parts of you are well above average."

Another accuser alleged that Weaver texted him, "I love your voice" and "I appreciate you, my boy!" after the 21-year-old male had just done a media hit.

Anything else?

It should be noted that so far none of the allegations have been confirmed. It also goes without saying that just because somebody says something on Twitter, it doesn't make it true.

The Lincoln Project is a Super PAC made up of ex-Republican political operatives who are anti-Trump and spent millions of dollars in the 2020 election cycle supporting Democratic candidates.

According to the Washington Free Beacon, it "began as an anti-Trump organization but has gradually evolved into a pro-Democratic political operation after raising millions of dollars from wealthy liberals."

Last summer, Weaver discussed the Lincoln Project's efforts to defeat President Trump on CUNY TV's "Open Mind" YouTube show.

Baseball legend Curt Schilling — an outspoken Trump supporter — claims AIG canceled his insurance over his 'social media profile'



Former major league pitcher Curt Schilling — an outspoken conservative and supporter of President Donald Trump — on Tuesday claimed that AIG canceled his insurance due to his "social media profile."

We will be just fine, but wanted to let Americans know that @AIGinsurance canceled our insurance due to my "Social Media profile"
— President Elect Curt Schilling (@President Elect Curt Schilling)1610511562.0

What are the details?

Schilling also said on Twitter that his assertion is "real" and that it won't be "even close to what we will witness in the coming months, years." In his aforementioned tweet, he also included a screenshot of what appears to be communication from an AIG representative.

The text of the apparent AIG communication states: "Unfortunately, the underwriter was unable to accept my request. I also went up the chain of ... command and asked our AIG Marketing Representative for an exception, but unfortunately he was unable to grant one. He realized that you were a longtime AIG client since 2004 and also a profitable account (no claims), but it was a management decision that was made collectively between underwriting and marketing teams that could not be overturned."

When a commenter wondered if Schilling's claim about AIG is true, he shot back, "If it's true? First off why would I lie about some bulls**t like this, and second ... You don't think they'd be lining up lawyers to sue for defamation/slander/libel RIGHT NOW if I was lying? Hell, I tagged them in the tweet."

AIG on Wednesday didn't immediately reply to TheBlaze's request for comment on Schilling's accusation. Schilling also on Wednesday didn't immediately reply to TheBlaze's request for additional information.

What else did Schilling say?

Schilling also said his insurance cancelation mirrors "the coming storm" in America under Democrats who want "power and control, then FU."

Another commenter asked if his insurance being dropped is legal. Schilling replied, "Woooooooooo there. Hold up champ. 'Legal,' at least as I see it, is no longer a restraint on the left. The burning, looting, rioting, F the police, assault, all of that and the massive fraud. Hell the next time a Clinton does something legal will be the first. None in jail..."

In addition, Schilling posted a tweet the night of Jan. 6 that appeared to support the U.S. Capitol riot, saying, "You cowards sat on your hands, did nothing while liberal trash looted rioted and burned for Air Jordan's and big screens, sit back, stfu, and watch folks start a confrontation for s**t that matters like rights, democracy and the end of gov't corruption."

The aforementioned tweet was still on Schilling's Twitter page Wednesday afternoon; it's not clear if the tweet had anything to do with Schilling's claim about AIG dropping his insurance.

Outspoken

Schilling's outspokenness, particularly with regard to his conservative politics, has led to numerous controversies over the years:

  • His June 2016 blog post in the wake of the terror attack at an Orlando gay nightclub lit into gun control advocates and Muslims.
  • ESPN fired him in April 2016 for a meme he posted that mocked transgender bathroom laws.
  • And the sports network pulled him off the air in September 2015 for the rest of the baseball season over a tweet against radical Islam.

Also it's long been opined that his politics have kept him out baseball's Hall of Fame, but a Philadelphia sportswriter — Schilling played for the Phillies before taking the mound for the World Series-winning Arizona Diamondbacks and Boston Red Sox — wrote that "Schilling belongs in Hall of Fame even though his views are worthy of nothing but shame."

Just before Trump's 2017 inauguration, Schilling said his support of the president also was keeping out of the Hall.

"I promise you if I had said, 'Lynch Trump,' I would be getting in with about 90 percent of the vote this year," Schilling told TMZ Sports, a reference to baseball writers' politics as well as their all-powerful votes that grant entrance into Cooperstown.

PBS staff attorney said gov't should take away children of Trump voters and put them in 'reeducation camps.' Now he's out of a job.



A PBS staff attorney is out of a job after saying on a secretly recorded video that the federal government should take children away from people who voted for President Donald Trump and put them in "reeducation camps."

What are the details?

The Project Veritas video recorded prior to the 2020 election shows now-former PBS principal counsel Michael Beller saying "these kids who are growing up knowing nothing but Trump ... for four years," and "you've gotta wonder what they're gonna be like ... they'll be raising a generation of intolerant, horrible people — horrible kids."

Beller also said that "even if [then-Democratic presidential nominee Joe] Biden wins, we go for all the Republican voters, and Homeland Security will take their children away ... and we'll put them into re-education camps."

He also called them "enlightenment camps" and said that "they're nice. They have Sesame Street characters in the classroom, and they watch PBS all day."

How did PBS react?

PBS released a statement saying, "This employee no longer works for PBS. As a mid-level staff attorney, he did not speak on behalf of our organization, nor did he make any editorial decisions."

What else did he say on the video?

In the video, Beller also said "Trump is close to Hitler," and that if the president were to win the election, the response would be to "go to the White House and throw Molotov cocktails."

He also said "PBS has like, real news" and "CNN doesn't have real news anymore. It's just talking heads talking about Trump all day long." But Beller said Fox News "makes me want to throw up after five minutes" and that it's full of "Joe Biden s**t" that's "all made up. It's all ridiculous."

As for his fellow citizens, Beller said, "Americans are so f***ing dumb. You know, most people are dumb."

Well, except for the elite who dwell in Washington, D.C., and are "educated and know stuff" — unlike those who live in "one of these other towns or states where everybody's just stupid."

Beller also commented on the coronavirus, noting that it's "great" that "COVID is spiking in all the red states right now." When asked why, he replied that "either those people won't come out to vote for Trump — you know, the red states — or a lot of them are sick and dying."

Republican congressman claims Trump's base is turning against him, calls fundraising from election a scam



A Republican member of Congress excoriated President Donald Trump's fundraising in hopes of overturning the results of the election, and claimed that he's heard from many in the Republican base that they're turning against the president.

Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois spoke to Dana Bash on CNN on Tuesday and said that some Republican politicians are privately distancing themselves from the president.

"I think they're starting to, I'll tell you the base is starting to turn," Kinzinger claimed.

"I get texts every day, granted people that are mad at me that are my friends probably aren't going to text me," he explained, "but, a lot of people that I thought would be upset with me calling this out, that are texting saying, 'you know what you're right, it's time, and nobody else is saying it,' you know if the president says the election is stolen and nobody rebuts him, you're generally gonna believe him."

"I do think it's starting to turn," Kinzinger concluded.

Kinzinger went on to say that the president would be a "player" in the Republican party after he leaves office, but that he wouldn't be as influential for as long as many believe.

He also said in the interview that the president's efforts to overturn the results of the election were undermining Democracy, and called his fundraising efforts to that end a scam.

"People that work hard for their money, hardworking taxpayers are giving their money to this because they're convinced because the president's telling them this, that they can win, and they can't," said Kinzinger.

"And the scam in congress with January 6th, all these members of Congress that are posting crazy things so they can get a ton of followers and retweets and raise money," he added.

"I think we have to call it out finally because if we don't people are just gonna believe it," Kinzinger concluded.

Allies and supporters of the president who believe a massive voter fraud scheme stole the 2020 election from him plan a rally on January 6, the day of the Electoral College Certification Process in Congress.

Kinzinger is a U.S. Air Force veteran and lieutenant colonel in the Air National Guard.
