The Lincoln Project is making headlines for a “list” of President Trump’s supporters and staff, for retaliation after his term. The move comes amid recent allegations of job offers for sex against one of the founders.
Breitbart News reported:
The anti-Trump Lincoln Project is building a database of Trump officials and staffers with the intention of holding those people professionally “accountable” for supporting the president, according to Stuart Stevens, a Republican operative who works with the Lincoln Project.
Stuart Stevens revealed in a tweet Saturday that the group is building what appears to be a blacklist.
“At @ProjectLincoln we are constructing a database of Trump officials & staff that will detail their roles in the Trump administration & track where they are now,” he wrote. “No personal info, only professional. But they will be held accountable & not allowed to pretend they were not involved.”

He didn’t say when the database would go live or how the group will make it accessible to the public.
The Lincoln Project actively campaigned against President Trump during the presidential election and supported Democrat candidates during the Georgia runoff elections this month. The group, whose founders include Steve Schmidt and George Conway, became the darling of the left-wing elite, which embraced the group and showered it with donations.
The revelation of the database has already sparked criticism from some prominent conservative media figures. Fox News’s Brit Hume replied, “This will not end well.”

Commentator Tammy Bruce compared the effort to the Star of David patches that Nazis forced Jews to wear during the Holocaust.
I hear it would be even easier if you made them wear a patch of some sort so they can be recognized even when in public. So much easier to keep them in control & perpetually punished for the Wrong Think. #fascisthttps://t.co/mnCpSLfreS

The database seems to bear a spiritual resemblance to the short-lived Trump Accountability Project, an effort promoted by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) that was intended to publicly ostracize Trump administration officials and staffers. The project was abandoned after it received backlash from public figures across the political spectrum.
In November, Lincoln Project leaders attempted to publicly shame two attorneys working with President Trump on claims of voter fraud by posting their photos on Twitter. Those tweets later vanished after it was determined they violated Twitter policy.
As Breitbart News reported, the group also pledged to spend $500,000 on ads to shame Jones Day and Porter Wright Morris & Arthur for their role as counsel to President Trump and the Republican Party.
Meanwhile, Citizen Free Press reported:
Scott Stedman shared messages he received from Lincoln Project co-founder John Weaver. Stedman says Weaver referred to him as “my boy” and also told him how “hot” he was in private messages.
Ryan Girdusky appears to have set some of this in motion with several tweets earlier in the day claiming he knew of a ‘founding member of the Lincoln Project who offered jobs to young men in exchange for sex.’
Since posting this thread 25 minutes ago, I’ve gotten multiple DMs of people telling me they experienced this (and worse).

The member followed me on twitter briefly and a few young men started sending me screenshots and telling what happened to them. Grooming is really disgusting and he was especially sloppy.

People are coming forward to allege Lincoln Project co-founder John Weaver is a sexual predator who has preyed on young men. What do @stuartpstevens, @TheRickWilson and @gtconway3d have to say about that? After all, they are very concerned with public morality and decency. https://t.co/VegIVBQoXZ

Don’t know if this guy is legit but sounds like some of Weaver’s victims are coming forward. pic.twitter.com/ywIx8PyceH

Worth noting: Schmidt posted this lie about Weaver having a heart attack as part of a successful effort to kill a story about Weaver luring young men into his bed. That story is now coming out. Is @ProjectLincoln protecting a sexual predator? Why? https://t.co/CuBfSKrdik
