Steve Schmidt fell into some kind of bizarre meltdown on Twitter last night, chasing Meghan McCain as some kind of nasty bully. Let’s assume that when Trump didn’t hire him for his campaign, he might have really broken it because ever since … yikes.
But hey, at least he’s a leftist hero these days, right? They love to give him money to chase the same people he worked for and he presumably cared about; a lot of money in hating the right these days. Sure, not as much as when Trump was in office, but don’t worry, they still find Republicans to hate with.
Like good little “conservatives”.
Glenn Greenwald was good enough to get Steve to the woodshed in a short but merciless thread:
I hope the liberals are proud of their moral hero, the conscience of the nation, who weapons the private conversations he claims to have had with someone’s mother, then advertises them to malign his critics.
Transfer him more money to help him defeat TRUMP! https://t.co/r5ayxqrdhJ

Yes, Steve still acts like a donkey.
But you guys knew it.
It’s just worse. As Steve acted as if he and the McCain family were united and using him to advise Meghan, Glenn reminded him that he had been barred from attending McCain’s funeral.
Ouch.
There’s a reason Steve Schmidt – while publicly calling himself McCain’s confidant – was barred from attending McCain’s funeral, just like Rick Weaver (Schmidt’s LP child-raiding colleague for whom he covered ) and Nicolle Wallace were banned:https://t.co/LanjemlyvD

And finally, Steve’s friend George Conway also called to shut down the Lincoln Project.

Oh, we get it, Steve wasn’t going to be mad at Meghan because he deserved it, he took it out on her because he wants to make sure his liberal base of Yahoo supporters continues to pay attention to him and, as Glenn said, treating him like some moral hero – after all, they are his daily bread.
