Herschel Walker Staffer: Matt Schlapp ‘Groped’ My Crotch
DailyBeast ^ | Jan 5, 2022 | Roger Sollenberger

Posted on 01/05/2023 6:35:21 PM PST by Alter Kaker

A staffer for Herschel Walker’s Senate campaign has alleged to The Daily Beast that longtime Republican activist Matt Schlapp made “sustained and unwanted and unsolicited” sexual contact with him while the staffer was driving Schlapp back from an Atlanta bar this October.

The staffer said the incident occurred the night of Oct. 19, when Schlapp, chair of the American Conservative Union and lead organizer for the influential Conservative Political Action Conference, “groped” and “fondled” his crotch in his car against his will after buying him drinks at two different bars.

The staffer described Schlapp, who had traveled to Georgia for a Walker campaign event, as inappropriately and repeatedly intruding into his personal space at the bars. He said he was also keenly aware of his “power dynamic” with Schlapp, widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in national conservative politics.

Schlapp, the staffer recalled, said he had wanted to spend the evening discussing the staffer’s professional future.

“It was a public space, and I was thinking that he got the hint. I did not want to embarrass him,” he said. “But it escalated.”

I swear that Gutfeld introduced her as his daughter so it was likely a joke. He always struck me as a man in his 60s and she in her 40s. My bad.

Yeah.

Most don’t have five kids but who knows.

But who knows.

Nameless to Daily Beast doesn’t give the accuser much credibility either.

Has the ring of truth IMO.

Politics is the art of telling the big lies, lies that often get people killed. Sex is the art of telling the little lies, lies that often make people.

Getting people's attention is proportional to novelty. The more outlandish a lie is, the easier it is to sell.

So you must think that this aide made these desperate reports that night and then sent the text, received the calls from Matt, etc., as all part of an elaborate, long-con lie?!?

The story is ridiculous on all fronts. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. At least give the truth time to put on its pants.

After years of constant carpet bombing of lies from the leftist media and deep state against conservatives, how could you possibly give benefit of the doubt to some unknown, unnamed accuser? Sex crimes are by far the most falsely accused crime out there.

It’s Matt’s white hair. He does not look as old as his hair in person. They are both close in age.

I know nothing about a blended family but I did hear Mercedes say this and was very disappointed. IMO, it came from a place of weakness—too chicken to stand up for him. I think she’s said positive things since then but her character had been exposed.

Nothing extraordinary about these claims. Garden variety stuff.

I’m not a juror issuing a verdict on one story. I am simply saying it sounds to me like it could well be true.

Mercedes disavowed Trump, and has a crooked mouth/jaw. I know the mouth isn’t her fault, but betraying Trump is. He did a lot to help her move forward in her career, and that’s how she repaid him. Pfffft!

“Matt Schlapp strikes me as a Grifter.”

Definitely a grifter couple, Matt and Mercedes.

And I believe Hershel more than I believe Matt. He’s got a “way” about him.

No. Mercedes is his wife. She and he have two daughters 8 and 9 years old.

Together they own Cove Communications. She supposedly had a noted appearance change — allegedly an accident that gave her some new dental/mouth appearance.

He is now considered as a possible Texas Basketball coach (just kidding, that part is made up).

If someone wants to make an allegation like this, he should at least reveal his own name. Unless his name is Staffer, ugh.

This person should have come out right away. So I will tend to ignore this because it is also in the Daily Beast.

She was a FOX contributor at the time. That should explain things,
