Jennifer Horn, a Co-Founder of the National Man-Boy Lincoln Association, Quits Group, Citing The Fact That It's Really an Underaged Boner Inspection Business

I'm not sure if Jennifer Horn believes Rick Wilson's and George Conway's claims that they never had any "awareness" of Weaver's predations.

Jennifer Horn, one of the original founders of the anti-Trump group the Lincoln Project, has left the organization citing the revelations that another co-founder, John Weaver, was accused of sending unsolicited and sexually provocative messages to young men.

"Upon careful consideration, I have terminated my relationship with the Lincoln Project, effective immediately," Ms. Horn said in a statement to The New York Times.

"John Weaver's grotesque and inappropriate behavior, coupled with his longstanding deceptions concerning that behavior, are sickening," she said, adding, "It is clear at this point that my views about how the Lincoln Project's efforts are managed, and the best way to move the Lincoln Project forward into the future in the wake of these awful events, have diverged."

So she's saying that the management of the National Man-Boy Lincoln Association didn't "manage" the John Weaver situation properly? That's how I read it.

Ms. Horn did not further elaborate, and a spokesman for the Lincoln Project did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

But Matt Whitlock says this explanation mah be a smokescreen.

Incredible.

The article notes that her resignation only came after the Lincoln Project refused to pay her a $250K signing bonus and up her contract to $40K a month.

Turns out she would've been fine with Weaver’s predatory behavior if they would have just paid her more.

Indeed, that's what the professional smear artists at the National Man-Boy Lincoln Association responded with:

These scumbags always respond with smears, threats, and defamations.

I'm not clearing this Jennifer Horn, though.

Is Jennifer Horn also claiming, as Rick Wilson and George Conway claim, that they never heard about John Weaver's notorious pedophilia habit?

Strange that none of them heard about the pedophilic tendencies of a colleague in a very small industry -- and later, their business partner.

Karl Rove says he knew about this for 32 years, since 1988.

So how can it be that the professional dirt-merchants and rumor-peddlers of the National Man-Boy Lincoln Association never heard of this?

Is that even possible? Forget plausible; it's not plausible.

But is it physically possible? Do the rules of physics allow for a bizarre world in which this little group of rumor-spreaders and professional defamers never heard of John Weaver's big problem with little boys?

On Sunday, The New York Times reported that Weaver had sexually harassed at least 21 men online, sometimes saying he would help them obtain work in politics. One of the individuals Weaver sent suggestive messages to was allegedly 14 years old when Weaver first contacted him.

The Lincoln Project disavowed Weaver in a Sunday statement. Weaver acknowledged the allegations of sexual harassment in a January statement. In a Monday appearance on Fox News, Rove said he had been aware of Weaver's alleged behavior for more than three decades.

"I've actually known about this pattern of behavior since 1988," Rove said. "All I want to say is that those 21 statements from those 21 young men who talked about how they've been approached by Mr. Weaver, that statement speaks for itself and I don't have anything to add to it. It's a sad, sad chapter."

I always note: Rick Wilson was the guy on twitter constantly pushing what he cutely alluded to as "The Thing," which was the bullshit story (ultimately published by the National Enquirer) accusing Ted Cruz of having sex with five or six women.

That story gets blamed on Trump, but the eater little Johnny Appleseed of defamation there was Rick Wilson.

Who was he working for then, do you think? Marco or Jeb?

But now Rick Wilson says that he never heard a word about John Weaver's open-secret boy-chasing.

He heard all about Ted Cruz's fictional career as a DC Don Juan, but he never heard about his own business partner.

Ever. Not even a whisper.

Wait, that's not quite right -- Wilson is playing the politician's game of issuing a denial that sounds a lot stronger than its actual words.

He's just saying he doesn't have "awareness" of this.

That could mean anything from "I never even heard a whisper of this" to "I did not know about this abuse as an iron-clad fact -- as in, I was never physically present as a first-hand witness."

He says it hoping you'll taking it to mean only the first interpretation, while actually, I suspect, only committing to the latter.

I think that's why he just repeats the lawyered up statement and will not answer additional questions -- he doesn't want to get smoked out on what "awareness" means.

He's not denying he never heard these rumors.

And so he's not telling us if he investigated these rumors before getting into bed with John Weaver. He's not telling us if he asked around. He's not telling us if he asked Weaver himself about them.

He's not telling us if he tried to follow up with the reporter who broke this story a month ago.

And he's not telling us if he kept himself clean of such knowledge by simply not asking about it.

He's just saying he didn't have "awareness" of "this," without specifying what awareness means or even what "this" means. Does "this" mean his actual sex with male interns, or does "this" refer to merely hearing about his business partner's troubling proclivities?

Wilson means you to think he's denying he even heard of this stuff.

But then, he won't answer follow-up questions about what he means. He just keeps referring back to his lawyerly statement about having no "awareness" of "this."

And how does this little fat bitch Rick Wilson respond to people skeptical of this claim, that professional rumor-spreaders did not "know" about this particular rumor about a long-time fellow dirt-merchant and current business partner?

By doing what he he always does: by threatening people.

By the way, this scumbag was a top adviser to John McCain for like 30 years.

You really think that Mr. Ostentatious Honor didn't know his best friend was chasing underaged dick?

People might find one day they've gotten sick of the endless series of extortions and threats coming from the National Man-Boy Lincoln Association.

And that day is now. John Cardillo is raising money, which he'll give in Rick Wilson's name to an organization that helps exploited children, if he'll be a man for once in his pathetic worm-life and get into the boxing ring with Cardillo:

And say -- where's that movie, "Everything That Trump Touches Dies," that Rick Wilson fundraised money for but never produced?

You know what you call it when you raise money from gullible people for something and then just pocket the money without producing?

Why, I think you call that a grift. You've got to read the updates Rick Wilson offers for his alleged "film," stringing investors along with promises of a project that is always just on the cusp of being done, but then gets delayed because it's being "expanded" into an even bigger project.

Dave Reaboi speculated that Rick Wilson had half a chub due to the humiliation:

Yes, it seems like there might as well be such a thing as Shame Boners -- boners caused by the feeling of shame and humiliation -- and it makes good sense that Rick Wilson would have that kind of boner exclusively.
