Far Right-Wing Conference Starts This Week

 

The annual gathering of various Christofascists, white nationalists, Q-quackers, misogynists, gun-toting militia types and closet sex abusers, also known as the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), begins this week outside of Washington, DC. Of course, there's an elephant soiling itself in the room:  CPAC chief Matt "Grabby" Schlapp, who has been credibly accused of "pummeling" the genitals of a male aide to Herschel Walker's campaign last fall in Georgia. He joins a long, long list of lying, hypocritical right-wing predators.

According to The Guardian, CPAC's got quite the rogues gallery of a lineup and message:

"That lineup also includes Trump allies such as former housing secretary Ben Carson, senators Marsha Blackburn and Ted Cruz, representatives Lauren Boebert, Matt Gaetz, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Ronny Jackson, Jim Jordan, Scott Perry and Elise Stefanik, former White House senior adviser Stephen Miller, ex-White House press secretary Sean Spicer and Truth Social chief executive Devin Nunes.

Then there is Trump’s son, Don Jr, his fiancée Kimberly Guilfoyle – infamous for hollering 'The best is yet to come!' at the 2020 Republican national convention – and the main event: a speech by Trump himself that will be akin to an indoor campaign rally. [snip]

Border security, crime, culture wars and parents’ rights are likely to feature prominently at the conference. CPAC’s Twitter bio has the hashtags '#AwakeNotWoke' and '#FirePelosiSaveAmerica' - an outdated reference to the retired House speaker. CPAC’s website promotes a documentary entitled The Culture Killers with the warning: 'The woke wars are coming to a neighborhood near you.'

CPAC will also give the biggest platform yet to growing dissent in the nativist wing of the Republican party over US support for Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression, roughly $50bn and rising. Biden is likely to face criticism for having travelled to Kyiv in the same week that Trump headed to the scene of a toxic train disaster in East Palestine, Ohio."  (our emphasis)

Schlapp remains in the good graces of the extreme MAGA cult, which shows in the guest list. The Malignant Loser's VP Mike "Fly Guy" Pence won't be coming to this years poo-fling. Neither apparently will Florida's aspiring Il Duce, Gov. Ron "Meatball Ron" DeSantis. So, the signal from Grabby Schlapp is that the Malignant Loser and his co-conspirators will not be challenged for primacy at this year's CPAC. It will be, as the article says, an indoor campaign rally for the Malignant Loser. It's fitting that two infamous crotch grabbers, the Malignant Loser and Schlapp, are leading this corrupt gathering of seditionists, conspiracy loons, liars and racists.
