me like this because the NYT reported Weaver had email exchanges with a 14 year old boy when he worked for Kasich in 2015, 4 years before the @ProjectLincoln existed. You know full well that “Pedophile Conspiracy” attacks are core to Q ANON dogma. You know about the violence — PolitiTweet.org

@ProjectLincoln. Your attack is guilt by association crap. I accused you of inciting violence. You are. Against me and my kids. You are supposed to be a journalist. You have called me a Pedophile enabler absent any facts, evidence. Ect…. Apparently, you feel license to slander — PolitiTweet.org

The dishonesty is appalling. You are a right wing smear merchant. 1. there are many men Weaver is alleged to have harassed. Most all of the harassment activity predated the Lincoln Project, as in before it existed. No person EVER filed a complaint against Weaver with — PolitiTweet.org

Weaver to @ProjectLincoln which condemned Weavers raunchy and inappropriate emails and advances. I made very clear how disturbed I was by learning about the fact he had email contact with a 14 year old while working for @JohnKasich in 2015, 5 years before the @ProjectLincoln — PolitiTweet.org

Again, what Weaver did was wrong. He acknowledged the tremendous pain he caused to his family and apologized for it. He resigned from the Lincoln Project in a public statement. He is accused of no criminal conduct and no assault. No human on earth ever filed a complaint against — PolitiTweet.org
