NBC News reports:
Matt Schlapp, one of the nation’s most prominent conservative leaders and a top ally of former President Donald Trump, is being accused of sexually groping a male aide on Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker’s campaign in October. “He reached in between my legs and fondled me,” the former Walker staffer told NBC News in a telephone interview Thursday night. “To my shame, I didn’t say anything” to stop Schlapp.
As the two men began to drink, the staffer said, Schlapp apologized for the bar “being dead.” Schlapp, who drank Tito’s vodka during the night, began “intruding into my personal space,” the staffer said. At one point, Schlapp bumped into the staffer’s gun while their legs touched, the staffer said, prompting Schlapp to ask what he was carrying. “Sig Sauer,” the aide said, surprised to find that Schlapp seemed unfamiliar with the name of the gun.
Read the full article. There’s much more. And be sure to check out the extensive report by the Daily Beast. Per the staffer, if Schlapp had only made a “polite pass” at him, “only me, Matt, and God would know about that.”

I, Charles J. Sykes, am today calling for a total and complete shutdown of all Schlapp-puns until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on. https://t.co/QsSq5voTXA
