A pox on all of them...

This story broke two weeks ago and the Lincoln Project ignored it.

I was wrong. The story was percolating last summer.

WaPo:

On Twitter Sunday, Girdusky — who broke the story earlier this month — blasted the Lincoln Project’s statement as false, saying the group had been made aware of the allegations when he was reporting them out last year.

Girdusky, who has also worked as a political consultant for about 15 years, told The Washington Post that Weaver’s past was like a “worst-kept secret” and that several men reached out to him after Weaver followed him on Twitter last May.

. . . . Girdusky said several of the men who told him privately about Weaver’s behavior had also contacted Lincoln Project members as recently as last August “and it was ignored across the board.”

Yeah, but he was against Trump.

For the MSM, that meant he should be protected. They probably filed the story next to the Hunter Biden story.

Did it not occur to the people who raised the issues about Weaver to take it to FoxNews or Breitbart?

FoxNews and Breitbart are pro-Trump MSM and they too did not pickup the Weaver scandal.

Laura Ingraham covered the story.

I considered Breitbart “mainstream” back in 2017, but its viewership has gone down significantly, so at this point I don’t think it qualify as “mainstream” anymore.
