Lincoln Project co-founder who vowed to turn Democrat now in far-right party
NY Post ^ | February 4, 2021 | 12:23pm | Ebony Bowden

Steve Schmidt, one of the founders of the notoriously anti-Trump Lincoln Project, is a registered member of an ultraconservative political party, voting records show — just weeks after he claimed he was becoming a Democrat.

In a post-election interview on Dec. 15, the longtime GOP strategist who former President Donald Trump once denounced as a “blathering idiot,” announced he was registering as a member of the Democratic Party after almost three decades as a Republican.

“I spent 29 years as a Republican, I’ve spent two and a half as an independent, and later this afternoon I will register as a member of the Democratic Party,” Schmidt told Barack Obama’s former campaign manager David Plouffe on his podcast.

But Utah state voting records accessed by The Post show that Schmidt is an active registered member of the Independent American Party, a small far-right group which promotes conspiracy theories on its website and whose platform could not be further removed from the Democrats’ liberal bent.

The party has 50,000 members and also endorses many of Trump’s policies as “common sense.”

“Not surprisingly the accusers of Trump have also come forward, again (perhaps funded and pushed by Soros?),” former Utah gubernatorial candidate and party member Gregory Duerden opined in an article published on the group’s website.

It appears that Schmidt’s membership to the group is newfound. When The Post accessed the operative’s voting records on the Utah Lieutenant Governor’s website in July, Schmidt was listed as an inactive voter with no party affiliation — a charge he denied.

Oh no, not Steve! Who will we turn to when we need someone to stab us in the back for some nebulous abstract “country first” lie?

"the Independent American Party, a small far-right group which promotes conspiracy theories"

He knows that his logic challenged dupes are fleeing the Republican Party. He and his comrades are waiting with open arms. Here, I'll rub this in some more, too.

While I may be wrong, I would guess the backdrop to that photo is Fire Island off Long Island. Along the very long, narrow island, there are many towns where there is no road for automobiles, only boardwalks for pedestrians or light vehicles that can travel on sidewalks. While the vast majority of Fire Island resort homes are owned or rented by non-homosexuals, there are two hamlets on the Island that have a homosexual majority or near-majority population (run-down low brow Cherry Grove and fancy schmancy Fire Island Pines) — which give Fire Island its reputation as a gay Mecca. I would bet dollars to donuts he is in one of those places. Or he could be somewhere in the Hamptons, which has similar topography but is accessible by roads. Of course there’s also Martha’s Vineyard and Provincetown and Rehoboth Beach, Delaware as possible sites.

It looks like Utah to me. Some burb in the foothills near the western edge of the Wasatch.

Looks like another member of the Gay Mafia running the GOP.

Hopefully they get purged, for once.

I’m guessing that he is looking for another scam to be part of now that the Lincoln Project has run dry.

Interesting- sometime since July the big fake who spent all last year trying to support Biden decided to try to remake himself as ‘rightwing.’ Was it do try to distance himself from doing the bidding of the Biden campaign or what? He’s definitely not on the right side of anything.
