Steve Schmidt, co-founder of the Lincoln Project, shared a lengthy Twitter thread early Saturday publicly reaching out to Democratic New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Schmidt is one of eight Republicans who started the anti-Trump political action committee. He has worked as a communications and public affairs strategist on a number of campaigns including those for former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, President George W. Bush, and Senator John McCain. Other Lincoln Project founders include George Conway, Reed Galen and Jennifer Horn.
