DONALD TRUMP’S SPEECH AT A “DIMINISHED” CPAC WAS STILL VERY DANGEROUS
"Since 2016, CPAC has been a celebration of all things Donald Trump and all things MAGA. I myself have sat in the “press” section of the conference area of the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland and marveled at the extent to which Matt and Mercedes Schlapp had hitched their wagon to Trump’s “star.” Well, that was three elections ago, and the MAGA-fied GOP’s cruelty in targeting the vulnerable, along with a complete lack of an actual policy platform, has failed to charm purple state voters.
But Trump will not go quietly, nor will CPAC, despite evidence that perhaps the Republican Party would be better off without them. Matt Schlapp, the head of the American Conservative Union, the organization behind CPAC, appeared numerous times during the conference but failed to address the reason he’s been in the headlines lately—an accusation of sexual misconduct and a battery and defamation lawsuit. A Herschel Walker staffer alleged that Schlapp “groped” and “fondled” him, claims the ACU chief has denied. Trump himself has faced numerous allegations of groping and fondling so this isn't such a deviation from the brand of MAGA. The cloud over Schlapp certainly cast a pall over the far-right trade show, which was still populated with MAGA celebrities like the MyPillow guy and the “brick suit” guy. But there was a palpable feeling that the conservative gathering’s best days were in the rearview."
