A Republican campaign operative who accused conservative power broke Matt Schlapp of sexually assaulting him identified himself on Wednesday after a judge ruled that his lawsuit against Schlapp and his wife couldn’t proceed anonymously. The 39-year-old aide, Carlton Huffman, gave an interview to The Washington Post in which he promised, “I’m not backing away... Matt Schlapp did what he did and he needs to be held accountable.” Schlapp, 55, has vehemently denied Huffman’s claims, which were first reported by The Daily Beast. Huffman’s suit claims that Schlapp “aggressively” fondled his genitals in Oct. 2022, and that Schlapp and his wife tried to defame him after his allegations were made public. “The reason I step forward is to be sure that Matt Schlapp never gets the opportunity to prey on anybody else without the world knowing the kind of man that he is,” Huffman said in a video posted to Twitter on Wednesday. Speaking to the Post, he acknowledged “an ugly chapter of my life” in which he wrote a number of racist blog posts that Schlapp’s lawyers have pointed to in their arguments. “That is not who I am anymore,” he said.

2. It happened to him, so now it is a bad thing

I am sure he joined the chorus vilifying all the women who came forward about trump.

He still is a POS

3. Huge POS!! nt

4. Not So Fast

Yes, this guy’s political and perhaps personal viewpoints are repulsive, but he is still a victim of sexual assault. And it takes a lot of courage to come out and say so, particularly against a powerful man who represents the ultra right Republican community, which is going to make his life miserable. Everyone can have a teachable moment; this is his, and I suspect that he will have a lot more compassion for other people after this experience.

He is also doing a public service exposing Matt Schlapp as a hypocrite and a predator. I have to wonder how many other men Schlapp preyed on before him. And yet the Republican Party continues on as if nothing has happened.

5. He's still a POS

This man had no problem when it happened to others. He is a far right republican operative who defended trump and is now upset that those dirty tricks are now being used against him. He loves Desantis. Don't worry, if someone comes forward against Desantis, he will have no qualms sicking the minions on him/her.

He is only mad because they are using those tactics on HIM.
