Bill Maher grills Steve Schmidt on Lincoln Project's finances -- but not Weaver scandal
Fox News
"Real Time" host Bill Maher welcomed Lincoln Project co-founder Steve Schmidt to his show on Friday night -- just hours after Schmidt resigned from the embattled group of anti-Trump Republicans.
Schmidt was not confronted about whether he was aware of Weaver's alleged predatory behavior -- despite reports that the leadership of The Lincoln Project had been told about at least 10 allegations as early as June 2020, with Weaver's alleged victims including two Lincoln Project employees. "Why did [Trump] do six percentage points better with Republicans [in 2020] than he did in 2016? He got 94 percent of Republican votes and 88 percent the first time." Maher also skipped over Schmidt's Lincoln Project title when he introduced him to the audience, referring to him as the "founder of SES Strategies and an MSNBC contributor." But Maher did allude to The Lincoln Project's troubles during the show's panel discussion, telling Schmidt he knew that guest had "had a rough week."
