John Weaver, a longtime G.O.P. operative who advised John McCain and John Kasich, made sexual overtures to young men, sometimes offering to help them get work in politics.
....has for years sent unsolicited and sexually provocative messages online to young men, often while suggesting he could help them get work in politics, according to interviews with 21 men who received them.
His solicitations included sending messages to a 14-year-old, asking questions about his body while he was still in high school and then more pointed ones after he turned 18.
....did not lead to physical encounters except in one consensual case, and none of the men accused Mr. Weaver of unlawful conduct. Rather, many of them described feeling preyed upon by an influential older man in the field in which they wanted to work, and believing they had to engage with his repeated messaging or lose a professional opportunity.
in the most explicit messages, offered professional and personal assistance in exchange for sex.
Interviews with the 21 young men, as well as a review of screenshots of dozens of messages he sent them over the last five years, show that his online behavior was in many cases aggressive and unwanted.
So yeh seems like the people who were on about documenting and working to punish those who "helped Trump in any way" may just have been following the lead of a Co-founder who may have had a few skeletons in his own closet in the end.

What?!

You mean to say that rich, powerful men abused their authority by using it to get sexual favours?!

This isn't the least bit surprising, all politicians are scum after all, nothing but parasites to society and just because a group of right-wing conservatives was able to realize that Trump is fascist scum it doesn't mean that they're good, they're just a different brand of bad.

But anyway fuck him, I'd say I hope he goes to jail but we all know he won't, in exactly the same manner that Trump and Biden didn't pay for their sexual harassment allegations.

In any case the guy's career is probably over but that's more likely to be because he's a gay conservative than the harassment allegations.

Sure. And so were Roger Ailes and Roy Moore and Dennis Hastert. Oh, wait.

Right then. Let's all move on and leave another one of Dwarvenhobble's tedious, trivial threads batting for Trump to quietly die.

Huh... It's almost as if the whole political class regardless of party are horrible scum, oh wait that's exactly what it is.

I get that in your little weird fantasy land being against the scum that is Trump automatically makes you a Democrat so I'll say it clearly (Again) all politicians are scum and we should get rid of the political class in general, supporting any politicians is foolish because they ultimately don't have the best interest of the regular populace in mind, so trying to get me with stuff about how Democrats are bad too actually proves my point perfectly, not that you're smart enough to notice.

One time Speaker of the House (R). Done for financial crimes, except those financial crimes were paying blackmail for him committing sexual abuse. If I remember rightly.

Hardly its ideals, since it's very much a Republican group. Just its opposition to Trump.

The Necon project is why the mainstream media are out of touch. It's basically Dubya or Bush Jr people's mouthpiece. Bush when he left office literally had an approval level of less than Trump's lowest.

They were never-Trumper republicans.

That's not to say to deflect from Democrats when it comes to their own sex pests, but Lincoln Project was pretty much straightforward with their political branding.

Firstly I don’t think Kae is American and secondly I would presume an anarchist isn’t a fan of the Democrats either (presuming that Kae somehow hasn’t explicitly shown enough loathing of the Democratic Party to suit you)? Who are you even trying to argue with?

They were shills, which is not a word I like to use, but it's really the most appropriate title for them. The were never-Trumper Republicans... until they realized how much money Democrats were giving them, and then they started backing Democrats all over the place, not just against Trump or Trump people.

So they're capitalists then? And where did they back Democrats over non-Trumpian Republicans?

If anyone was determined to stop Trump, they needed to unseat even moderate Republicans, given that pretty much the entire party had decided to play the role of Trump doormat.

I'm sure they were in part shills. I'm sure they also had convictions, too, that Trump needed to go at any price.
