The Lincoln Project, in a statement on Sunday, called co-founder John Weaver, 61, a “predator, liar and abuser” following reports that he repeatedly sent unsolicited and sexually transmitted messages. charged online to young men, often suggesting it might help them find work in politics.

“The totality of its disappointments is beyond anything any of us could have imagined and we are absolutely shocked and sickened by it,” the Lincoln Project, the most prominent Republican “Never Trump” super PAC to emerge during the 45th time of the president in the White. House, said in his statement.

The online magazine The American Conservative first reported the allegations of sexual harassment earlier this month.

Days later, Weaver, a strategist who advised the late Republican Senator John McCain and former Ohio Governor John Kasich in their unsuccessful White House candidacies, admitted in a statement to the Axios website that he had sent “inappropriate” messages which he “considered to be consensual and mutual conversations at the time”.

Weaver’s statement came after several men took to social media to accuse him of sending sexually suggestive messages, sometimes associated with offers of employment or political advancement.

The Lincoln Project made its most substantive comments on the growing allegations against Weaver after The New York Times reported on Sunday that the newspaper interviewed 21 men who said they were harassed by Weaver.

The Lincoln Project said in its statement that “at no time was John Weaver in the physical presence of a member” of the super PAC.

Weaver took medical leave from the Lincoln Project last summer. He told Axios earlier this month that he has no plans to return to the group.

Weaver did not immediately respond to an Associated Press request for comment.
