A GOP staffer is suing fellow Republican operatives Matt Schlapp and his wife, Mercedes Schlapp, for sexual harassment and defamation.
Matt Schlapp is the chairman of the American Conservative Union, the organization that hosts CPAC, the Conservative Political Action Conference. (Advocate)
In interviews with the alleged victim and four campaign staff members, POLITICO confirmed that a small number of campaign officials were made aware of the staffer’s claims about Schlapp within hours of the alleged assault occurring. They advised the staffer not to get back in a vehicle with Schlapp as he was scheduled to do for a campaign event in Macon, Ga. the next day. The staffer said he ultimately did not drive Schlapp again. (POLITICO).
WHY THIS SHOULD MATTER: Matt Schlapp is the Chair of CPAC. CPAC has publicly demeaned the LGBTQ community, and as a MAJOR PAC from which the Republican Party receives finances and direction, what CPAC insists is usually what the GOP does.
WHY THIS MOST LIKELY WILL NOT MATTER: Once again the “DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO,” far-right conservative MAGA’s and their staunch Christian Nationalist Fascist supporters, hate getting caught up in their own web of HYPOCRISY. They love to point fingers at all those sinners around them, but most of the time have difficulty turning their hands to face themselves, or for that matter look in the mirror.
The reporting on this includes texts provided in real-time by the Walker Campaign Staffer as to the inappropriate groping by the Holier Than Thou Schlapp, and the same Walker Staffer had videotaped the exchange between him and Schlapp. Originally all the Walker Staffer wanted was an apology but being the typical Christian Evangelical Nationalist and Ultra-Right-Wing Nut, Schalpp and his wife claimed they were the victims.
I am not surprised at this encounter, and I am certainly not shocked by the “WE THE PERPS ARE THE VICTIM,” response. But I have to HOPE that this is ONE MORE chip falling from the Republican wall of Bull Shit!
