Less than three months after the liberal Lincoln Project publicly imploded over multiple scandals, the disgraced group is getting mainstream media love again.
Co-founder Rick Wilson appeared on HBO s Real Time with Bill Maher for a friendly interview on Friday, and senior adviser Tara Setmayer scored appearances Sunday on CNN and Monday on MSNBC, with liberal anchors Jim Acosta and Ari Melber, respectively.
Ex-adviser Kurt Bardella, who confessed to tweeting out hacked messages between co-founder Jennifer Horn and a reporter, continues to be a frequent MSNBC guest.
Sunday May 09, 2021 - 09:08:00 PM The coming week of city meetings looks way more interesting than the one we just finished. Nothing came to a vote at any of the meetings I attended except the Planning Commission, which voted to add five parcels to the Adeline Corridor Plan. You can check the quick summary in The Activist’s Calendar for the meetings deserving your attention this week. The event I most wanted to attend I missed, because I had not signed up with Eventbrite when I first saw the notice. It is a lesson I’d had before and chose to ignore. Choosing to ignore is the very thing about which this diary will focus.
Very interesting and depressing conversation last night between Chris Hayes and former GOP operative Stuart Stevens.
Hayes was talking about how even though Trump is out of power, Republicans are still debasing themselves to curry favor with him. It s making grown individuals act in a way that would be embarrassing in normal circumstances. Like Kevin McCarthy, he said. I mean, we assume that Kevin McCarthy has shame. I think that s giving him the benefit of the doubt, Stevens said. I think Kevin McCarthy is quite happy. I don t think he feels debased. He feels power. These are people that are different than us. They are people who have decided that they are defined by power. Power to no purpose. It s a very dangerous reality, he said.

“From election law to
environmentalism to radical social agendas to the Second Amendment, parts of
the private sector keep dabbling in behaving like a woke parallel government. Corporations
will invite serious consequences if they become a vehicle for far-left mobs to
hijack our country from outside the constitutional order. Businesses must not
use economic blackmail to spread disinformation and push bad ideas that
citizens reject at the ballot box.”
