A former aide in Donald Trump’s presidential administration and a senior adviser to Project 2025 is in trouble for sending creepy internet messages to teenagers.

John McEntee, who also co-founded the conservative dating app The Right Stuff, sent messages to multiple young women offering in some cases to give them free trips to Los Angeles and making sexual advances, Wired reports. The app’s sole investor is right-wing billionaire Peter Thiel, and it has been criticized for its mostly male user base.

…

“I actually have no idea how he found me,” Carter told Wired. “Based on the other accounts I follow and things I post, it’s very leftist. So I was surprised when he found me.”

…

Later, McEntee’s views on reproductive rights would provoke Carter’s ire. After the September 10 presidential debate between Trump and Kamala Harris, McEntee posted a video on TikTok asking, “Can someone track down the women Kamala Harris says are bleeding out in parking lots because Roe v. Wade was overturned? Don’t hold your breath.”

Carter was incensed, and posted her own video to TikTok sharing her interactions with McEntee. Soon she began receiving messages from other women who said they had similar experiences with the conservative operative.

The publication spoke to one of those women, who asked to remain anonymous. Also aged 18, she said that McEntee reached out to her on The Right Stuff’s app before moving to text messages, using the same southern California phone number he sent to Carter. Over text, he sent her clearly identifiable selfies and began mentioning explicit sexual acts that made her uncomfortable, and encouraged her to come to California.

“It was very sexual from day one,” she said. “He kept making comments about my age and how hot it would be to sleep with someone who was my age.”
