Political strategist Steve Schmidt took to Twitter Wednesday to blast disgraced never-Trump advocacy group the Lincoln Project, an organization he co-founded in 2019.
Schmidt stepped down from leadership at the Lincoln Project after reports surfaced that co-founder John Weaver allegedly sent sexually explicit messages to several young men.
“.@ProjectLincoln should either be professionalized and reformed or shut down. I founded it. i left it a year ago,” Schmidt wrote in the first of a series of tweets.
Among his many proposed reforms, Schmidt called for co-founder Reed Galen and high-ranking figures Ron Steslow and Mike Madrid to step down from their roles at the organization.
.@ProjectLincoln should either be professionalized and reformed or shut down. I founded it. i left it a year ago. The @Showtime documentary documents some of the most despicable and unethical behavior I have ever seen.
