The disgraced Lincoln Project can’t last much longer.
Another minor boy says homosexual stalker John Weaver chased him around on Twitter, news that suggests that Weaver’s predations might have much worse than previously reported.
The project was already reeling from news that Weaver targeted a 14-year-old boy, along with nearly two dozen other men, as the New York Times reported on January 31. Project founders say they were clueless about the predations, but news reports show otherwise.
The question is how long the besieged hate-Trump outfit, which appears to have been a money-making scam for its founders, can stay afloat.
As The New American reported on Tuesday, the project shut down the donations page at its website, the second page it has disabled since conservative writer Ryan Girdusky exposed Weaver last month in The American Conservative.
Minor No. 2
It was Girdusky who revealed that Weaver solicited sex from another minor.
Speaking to Fox talker Laura Ingraham on Monday, Girdusky suggested 21 might not come close to the number of men Weaver tried to seduce.
“I am here to say that I have made contact with another minor who was sexually harassed by John Weaver,” he told Ingraham. “He is still a minor today. He doesn’t want his name to come forward because he is a minor.”
Girdusky said he saw the dirty old man’s messages to the kid:
John Weaver aggressively sexually harassed him. So the allegations against minors are multiple, and there’s possibly more [accusers] to come.
More than a month has passed since he yanked Weaver out of the closet, but Girdusky still receives regular messages from the dirty old man’s targets.
Girduskey said Weaver mostly went through Twitter’s direct messaging, and emphasized that he sees those messages:
He promised them jobs and internships in exchange for sexual favors. Usually John Weaver did this through Twitter, that was how he direct messaged all these kids … and young men … so I was able to see the correspondence that they had.
Last week, New York magazine’s Intelligencer revealed the sickening, unprintable messages Weaver sent to interns at the project. That story detailed Weaver’s harassment of interns before and after they went to work for the hate-Trump outfit.
And, as news reports show, Lincoln Project founders knew about Weaver’s predations.
“Internal Investigation”
Amusingly though, the project’s attempt to pretend it’s doing something about the allegations blew up in its face.
On Monday, the blacklisting outfit said it hired the “the law firm of Paul Hastings to investigate allegations of inappropriate behavior by John Weaver as part of a comprehensive review of our operations and culture.”
That’s because the project is “committed to creating a positive, diverse, and inclusive workplace environment at The Lincoln Project and inappropriate behavior by anyone associated with the organization will not be tolerated under any circumstances.”
“We have already taken decisive action to address internal concerns,” the statement continued:
Additionally, we are releasing staff and former staff from the confidentiality provisions in their employment agreements to discuss their workplace environment. Based on the findings of this review we will take all necessary action to correct any issues or deficiencies that are identified.
Concurrently, we are also working with outside counsel and professional consultants to strengthen our corporate governance, finance and operational structure, human resources, and leadership to position The Lincoln Project to further maximize our impact and lean into our important mission advancing democracy.
Right.
The problem, as The 19th website divulged, is this: Lawyers at the firm are project supporters.
They donated more than $6,000 to the project’s efforts to elect Joe Biden and destroy Donald Trump.
Presumably, those lawyers support the project’s stated mission of ruining anyone who supported or worked for the 45th president.
