CPAC chief Matt Schlapp is in not-very-closeted trouble again as independent journalist Yashar Ali reports there was little dick-grabbing incident at a bar near Schlappy’s home in Virginia last weekend. A man told Ali that “Every time I looked around – whether we were on the dance floor, at the bar, or back at the table talking to people – every time I turned around, this guy was right there, one foot behind me. And I was just not comfortable with this.” The man’s wife/girlfriend (not specified) said she confronted Schlapp and told him to back off, to which Schlapp promptly grabbed the man’s crotch. Schlapp was then ejected from the premises. Ali confirmed Schlapp was there by viewing security footage from the bar, but did not see the specific incident.

“After I texted Schlapp the allegations and information about my story, he quickly called me twice and also texted, asking me to call him. I told him I would call him back in five minutes, and he acknowledged my response. I returned the call five minutes later but received no answer. My text message not only laid out the allegations but also provided Schlapp with a specific deadline for comment. I stated that I would only speak to him or his representatives on the record and would not engage in off-the-record or on-background conversations a long-standing policy I follow when stories involve allegations of misconduct. Schlapp never returned my call. Since that brief text exchange, I have texted him several more times, called him again, and emailed him. I also tweeted at him before I published this story,” Ali wrote. Sounds pretty on-brand for Schlapp.
