MSNBC ignored the sexual harassment scandal engulfing The Lincoln Project in order to play the "game of coddling and covering up people who suit their political beliefs," Fox News "Outnumbered" panelist Dagen McDowell said Thursday. "As long as you would come on TV and say nasty things about Donald Trump and his supporters ... there was a space for you on those networks despite the fact that it was common knowledge about the problems with [Lincoln Project co-founder] John Weaver," McDowell said, calling out MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace. Wallace, the former Republican flack-turned-reliable Democratic media sycophant, hosted Lincoln Project co-founders Steve Schmidt and Rick Wilson, as well as Lincoln Project advisers Kurt Bardella and Tara Setmayer, at least nine times on her "Deadline: White House" program between Jan. 11 and Feb. 8. MSNBC'S NICOLLE WALLACE IGNORED LINCOLN PROJECT SCANDALS AFTER CONSTANTLY HOSTING, PRAISING CO-FOUNDERSSince that time, the organization's structure has crumbled amid multiple reports that Schmidt and others knew about the allegations against Weaver earlier than they claimed. MSNBC ignored the Weaver story until "Morning Joe" host Mika Brzezinski asked Conway about it on Feb. 1.
