According to Fox News:

MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace, the former Republican flack-turned-reliable Democratic media sycophant, was one of the leading promoters of the anti-Trump Lincoln Project throughout 2020 but ignored its scandals over the past month.

Given Wallace’s background as a onetime Republican and current GOP critic, it made sense that her afternoon program “Deadline: White House” would become a regular stop for Lincoln Project co-founders like Steve Schmidt and Rick Wilson, who became media stars for bolting the GOP over disgust with former President Donald Trump.

Over at least nine appearances between Jan. 11 and Feb. 8 by Schmidt, Wilson, and Lincoln Project advisers Kurt Bardella and Tara Setmayer, Wallace did not ask about the scandal over co-founder John Weaver’s harassment of young, gay men, including a 14-year-old, according to a media analysis. Conservative author and journalist Ryan Girdusky first broke the story about Weaver’s predations on Jan. 11.

Since that time, the organization has crumbled after multiple reports that Schmidt and others knew about Weaver’s harassment of young men earlier than they claimed. In addition, criticism of the group’s questionable finances and its toxic work environment have increased.

Only two of the groups original eight founders remain.
