Lincoln Project founder John Weaver partially admitted to allegations of sexual misconduct on Friday, releasing a statement in which he admitted to his own homosexuality and apologized for inappropriate sexual conversations with college aged-men in the ranges of 19 to 26.
Weaver, an ex-Republican neocon and former John McCain and John Kasich operative, had been purged from reference on the Lincoln Project’s website after populist commentator Ryan Girdusky revealed that at least ten young men had been sexually solicited by Weaver. Weaver had promised the young men employment in politics in return for gay sex, which one victim alleges never materialized.
An article by Girdusky in the American Conservative details the allegations against Weaver in length.
Weaver attempted to distract from the coercive nature of the allegations against him by admitting to be gay in a statement provided to Axios Friday.
The Lincoln Project merely shrugged in a statement regarding Weaver’s misconduct, stating that his own statement spoke for itself.
Disgraced actor Kevin Spacey had tried a similar strategy when he himself faced accusations of sexual misconduct, attempting to elicit sympathy by coming out of the closet. Being gay isn’t an excuse for coercing much younger men for sex with the promise of a lucrative career opportunity.
‘Professional’ Wikipedia editors are currently hard at work to protect the alleged predator’s reputation, with no mention of the 10+ misconduct allegations or his own admission of (partial) guilt evident on John Weaver’s Wikipedia page.
In a Twitter thread, journalist Scott Stedman details his own experience of facing sexual harassment at the hands of Weaver, while suggesting that other victims faced treatment that “pales in comparison.”
Of course, what he said to me pales in comparison to others with whom Weaver communicated and countless others who have experienced much worse from people in power.
