Bain Capital and the Lincoln Project
2021-02-15
[SaraACarter] Lincoln Project donors include Romney’s Bain Capital and China-linked companies.

The National Pulse reports that the major donors show a list of left-leaning groups, despite the group’s claims that it represents a disenfranchised Republican base.

Hollywood figures, hedge fund managers, Mitt Romney’s firm Bain Capital, and other questionable sources make up the group’s largest donors.

"The list also includes Michael Moritz, a partner at the venture capital firm Sequoia, who donated a sizable sum in three donations in May, June, and July of 2020: one worth $50,000 and two worth $25,000," the Pulse reports.

This morning The National Pulse published the Lincoln Project donor list.

The news comes after reports broke that the FBI is investigating allegations against Lincoln Project co-founder John Weaver.

Meghan McCain, the co-host of the The View and daughter of former U.S. Senator John McCain, said in a Tweet that "John Weaver and Steve Schmidt were so despised by my Dad he made it a point to ban them from his funeral."

"Since 2008, no McCain would have spit on them if they were on fire," she added.

1. I've been very hesitant to comment but since my deceased father keeps getting invoked I will say this:

John Weaver and Steve Schmidt were so despised by my Dad he made it a point to ban them from his funeral. Since 2008, no McCain would have spit on them if they were on fire.

Weaver was accused by at least 21 men last week for sending inappropriate messages and in some instances offering political and employment opportunities for sexual favors.

"John Weaver led a secret life that was built on a foundation of deception at every level," the prominent never-Trump organization said in a statement last week. "He is a predator, a liar, and an abuser. We extend our deepest sympathies to those who were targeted by his deplorable and predatory behavior."

#8  Romney deserves the guilt by association with the underaged boy diddlers of the McCain organization.

The more that becomes known, the worse Juan McStain and his "legacy" looks.

#4  Bain became part of that big consortium not to be named made up of ex-presidents, and dictators and major national bank CEOs and Romney got a position on the board with the inclusion.

#3  Is Mitt Romney still involved with Bain Capitol, or is that just a convenient and polarizing identification trick for the reader? I thought he gave up all that when he took on the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, and afterward was governor of Massachussetts.
