Meghan McCain Distances Family From The Lincoln Project’s Steve Schmidt, John Weaver

Meghan McCain distanced herself and her family Friday from Steve Schmidt and John Weaver, both cofounders of The Lincoln Project, amid the fallout from sexual misconduct allegations against Weaver.

“I’ve been very hesitant to comment but since my deceased father keeps getting invoked I will say this,” McCain began in a three-tweet thread addressing the controversy. “John Weaver and Steve Schmidt were so despised by my Dad he made it a point to ban them from his funeral. Since 2008, no McCain would have spit on them if they were on fire.”
