The Daily Beast reports:
A staffer for Herschel Walker’s Senate campaign has alleged to The Daily Beast that longtime Republican activist Matt Schlapp made “sustained and unwanted and unsolicited” sexual contact with him while the staffer was driving Schlapp back from an Atlanta bar this October.
The staffer said the incident occurred the night of Oct. 19, when Schlapp, chair of the American Conservative Union and lead organizer for the influential CPAC, “groped” and “fondled” his crotch in his car against his will after buying him drinks at two different bars.
The staffer, in his late thirties, recalled that while he drove Schlapp back to the hotel, Schlapp put his hand on his leg, then reached over and “fondled” his crotch at length while he was frozen in shock, calling it “scarring” and “humiliating.” When they arrived at the hotel, the staffer said Schlapp invited him to his room. The staffer said he declined and left “as quickly as I could.”
Read the full article. There’s much more. Schlapp is denying the man’s claims and “evaluating legal responses.” It goes without saying that CPAC features panels and speeches from the world’s most viciously anti-LGBTQ persons.

The staffer informed the Walker campaign the next morning, who he said offered him “nothing but support” throughout the ordeal

Matt Schlapp’s Twitter feed uncharacteristically quiet for some reason.

Schlapp, the staffer recalled, said he had wanted to spend the evening discussing the staffer’s professional future. “It was a public space, and I was thinking that he got the hint. I did not want to embarrass him,” he said. “But it escalated.” https://t.co/lgfGgxRHrv

What does @RichardGrenell, a major promoter of George Santos (though he now fell silent), know about Matt Schlapp?
What does Tucker Carlson’s gay senior executive producer, @justinbwells, know about Matt Schlapp?

This is a bombshell report and the allegations seem extremely credible, with the campaign confirming they were made aware of what happened and put the male staffer that was allegedly sexually assaulted by Matt Schlapp into contact with legal counsel. Wow. https://t.co/M40w61GtG0
