Ex-Lincoln Project adviser who published female co-founder's private messages now advising House Dems

Former Lincoln Project senior adviser Kurt Bardella, who admitted publishing private messages of the group's only female co-founder during the organization's meltdown this year, has joined the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee as an adviser.

Bardella, the former GOP flack who is now a solidly left-wing-commentator, was introduced Thursday with his new title by an MSNBC host who's gone on a similar track, Nicolle Wallace. She went from the George W. Bush administration to become one of the most fervent anti-Republican voices on cable news. Bardella, a frequent MSNBC guest, quit the Lincoln Project and called for it to shut down in February after the anti-Trump organization crumbled over allegations of covering up co-founder John Weaver's online sexual harassment of young, gay men, questions about self-dealing and questionable finances, and reports of a toxic work environment.
