Uncivil Lincoln Project dragged online over 'Franklin Project,' their new grift promoting civility
|
[BIZPACREVIEW] The discredited, disreputable Lincoln Project appears to be attempting to make a comeback with the launch of a new "project" ostensibly designed to promote civility.
The "Never Trump" group unveiled this new Franklin Project, as they call it, in a tweet last week containing a video of several political figures of different ideological stripes, excluding former President Donald Trump
 ...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...
, hobnobbing among themselves.

Despite not including the former president, the group did include a photo of former first lady Melania Trump sitting alongside former first lady Michelle Obama to demonstrate civility. There was just one jarring problem.
The Lincoln Project has a history of uncivilly attacking the former first lady with smears. After she renovated the White House Rose Garden last year in line with the tradition of first ladies renovating it, Lincoln Project co-founder Steve Schmidt accused her of destroying the Rose Garden "in the name of her vanity."
Schmidt, who resigned in disgrace three months ago after the "project" was found to be harboring an accused pedophile, also derided her as the "worst first Lady in American History."
That didn’t seem very civil ...
In an interview with the Los Angeles Times last August, Marta McDowell, a renowned expert on gardening history, said it’s a tradition for first ladies to revamp the garden.
That being said, the whole matter surrounding Lincoln Project co-founder John Weaver, who was accused of being a pedophile, is just the tip of the iceberg in regards to the group’s lack of civility.
After the Weaver bombshell emerged around the start of the year, the predominately male group attacked its one female co-founder, Jennifer Horn, for publicly resigning over the scandal.
As previously reported by BizPac Review, the group’s male members retaliated by publishing screenshots of her private Twitter messages.
This move backfired heavily on the group and the backlash eventually led Schmidt to resigning days later in total humiliation over not only the Weaver matter but also his treatment of Horn.
"She deserved better from me. She deserved a leader who could restrain his anger. I am sorry for my failure," he said in his resignation letter.
Because of behavior like this — not to mention the group’s sketchy financial behavior, its blatant lies and its glaring threats — the notion that it’s in a position to lecture others about decency and civility hasn’t sat well with everybody in the public.
