A co-founder of The Lincoln Project is being accused of sending unwanted messages to young men, pressuring them for sexual favors in exchange for jobs and career advice, according to a new report.
John Weaver, who worked for various national Republican candidates such as the late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and former Ohio Gov. John Kasich, has been accused by nearly two dozen men who said they received suggestive messages from Weaver, with one saying the messages began when he was 14 years old, The New York Times reported.
The Times reported that Weaver in one message told one of the young men he would “spoil you when we see each other.”
Leaders of The Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump Republican group, told the Times they were made aware of the allegations against Weaver only when they began circulating on social media and elsewhere in news reports.
In a statement on Sunday, The Lincoln Project called Weaver “a predator, a liar, and an abuser.”
“John Weaver led a secret life that was built on a foundation of deception at every level,” it said. “We extend our deepest sympathies to those who were targeted by his deplorable and predatory behavior. We are disgusted and outraged that someone in a position of power and trust would use it for these means.”
Where are the Dads of these victims? This guy should’ve been gutted
sounds like most Democrats in power
Don’t forget- Rick WIlson of the Lincoln Project was the scumbag who made the tv ad that called Max Celeand- a triple amputee veteran- a coward. Yeah, Max Cleleand was a Dem, but he sure as hell wasn’t a coward. Funny How the Dems who support the Lincoln Project NEVER bring that up. Rick Wilson is an evil, evil man.
