I don't want to feed into Don Jr's nonsense but I do want to tell a story.

I followed John Weaver when I started my Twitter account. We exchanged messages, I sent him my stories, chatted about Russia, etc. He wrote a blurb for my book.

He offered me some sort of "joint venture" which I wasn't interested in, so I didn't respond to his calls.

One day, he DM'd me and said he had "advice". He then proceeded to tell me how "hot" I looked and commented on my profile picture and my hair. He started calling me "my boy". I found it deeply uncomfortable.

Though we continued to DM every once in a while, the situation left me feeling quite uncomfortable. I brushed it off as one tends to do.

I'm telling this story because I know there are more people who endured this kind of grooming with many more explicit details. As the Lincoln Project continues to grow financially, I felt compelled to share.

Of course, what he said to me pales in comparison to others with whom Weaver communicated and countless others who have experienced much worse from people in power.

The goal here is to hopefully provide some cover for others who were disturbed by Weaver's advances and might want to speak out. And hopefully, the Lincoln Project does something.

Since posting this thread 25 minutes ago, I've gotten multiple DMs of people telling me they experienced this (and worse).

My DMs are open if you want to anonymously tell me your story. I hope people can still understand that some things aren't about politics.

For those asking why speaking up about this now: There are others, including some who reached out to me in recent days. Many many many many others, some afraid to say anything.

One last point on this before I mute this thread because of hateful comments: Weaver was a top aide to Kasich's Presidential campaign in 2016. If this behavior extends to that time period (it does), it can be used by anyone as compromising material. It can be dangerous.

Weaver also signed on to be an agent of the Russian government in 2019, before reversing course.

and let me say this- yeah, it was unsettling and awful...but what was the most sinking feeling was that i thought once everybody heard about it they'd resign in protest, come to my side. nope. called me a liar or didnt care. what a wake up call that you're on your own in life.

That is so creepy. I'm very sorry you were subjected to that. I know the feeling, unfortunately.

Did you present your concerns directly to John Weaver first? To ? If not, publicizing your complaint here on Twitter as a first step is, well, unfair and does, indeed, follow Jr's style and lead.

Thank you for sharing this Scott, I hope this never happens again! Sad truth is being behind a screen it emboldens the already brazen to be disrespectful, vial & irredeemable. Which makes it ever more contemptible.

Well, he doesn't have very good taste in men.
You're not that hot. Average at best, plain and nerdy.

“I don’t want to feed into Don Jrs nonsense, but Ima do it anyway...DJ, hold my beer.” There ya go. I fixed it for ya. Now go float yourself.

Wow! I'm so sorry that you and others have experienced his unwanted advances. I don't even know who he is.

Was it ever communicated that the advances were unwanted?

Honesty is always best.
Whether it be about our opponents or our allies.
This is disappointing

Hmm, not sure the injury to you is so great that it couldn't have been handled with a direct message to Mr. Weaver rather than a public shaming. I really have to question your motives here. (I read your justifications, still feels creepy and careless, and attention-seeking.)

Asking people to anonymously share their stories is the reason. There is no way he isn't looking for an angle here, capitalize off of it somehow.

I'm wondering the same

Hypocritical and hateful, frankly

Uggg sorry this happened to you! This happens to many women all of the time and you were good to call it out.

Scott, that certainly isn’t pleasant ....
but i wouldn’t know where to start, naming the guys that said exactly the same to me, from a professor that locked me into his office, to former bosses that “couldn’t stop” themselves.

at least in on digital medium, you can explain that you are not interested — and simply block /report.
i do this a lot.

This is super weird and old and you are an adult. Someone sent you a weird DM? Just strange. Now I unfollow.

I think you mean is “Someone used their professional position to hit on you inappropriately? That was wrong of him and I hope, if he did worse to others, they feel supported to share their stories knowing it wasn’t just them.”
