Oh, Now Rick Wilson of the North American Man-Boy Lincoln Association Wants to Hear from John Weaver's Victims

Before, they denied it. But now that it's out in the open, they really want to get to the bottom of what they've known for years.

Video below.

And meanwhile, an intern at the Lincoln Project says he was sexually harassed -- while working for the grifter outfit.

I interned at the Lincoln Project and am grateful to my immediate supervisors and what we achieved this past election. But I was also approached by John Weaver and I feel compelled to come forward with my experience. https://nytimes.com/2021/01/31/us/politics/john-weaver-lincoln-project-harassment.html?searchResultPosition=1

In early 2018, John Weaver DMed me to thank me for following him on Twitter. At the time I was a senior in college studying government and I thought connecting with him could really open some doors for me.

Initially we would discuss personal, but never private, matters. These included politics, how college was going and my plans for the future. Soon after, Weaver began asking me about getting drinks and hanging out like attending Spurs games in San Antonio.

Weaver, while addressing me as "my boy," would shift talks to questions related to sex and my sex life. He would turn any conversation to this. At one point he proposed taking me to Paris with him.

Prior to the Lincoln Project, he entertained my talks about launching a Super PAC together. But in exchange for open doors, Weaver always wanted sex. This went on for more than three years.

In June 2020, Weaver offered me an internship position at the Lincoln Project. I happily accepted it, because I believed in their mission and hoped this would be an opportunity to launch a political career.

But Weaver’s incessant inquiring about my sex life continued. This was paired with him pressing me on when we would meet and sexual propositions. We never met.

Over the years of knowing Weaver I became aware he was similarly messaging other young men, some of whom happened to be my friends, speaking to them with the same language he used with me.

As I share this now, I feel a heavy weight lifting. In some ways, my experience with Weaver led me to become disenchanted with the idea of working in politics.

I never knew the extent of his actions and I hope others he targeted for grooming will feel comfortable telling their stories. I just wish I had said something sooner.
