This past week was the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). It was the biggest CPAC to date with 18,000 people attending including hundreds of vendors, and crowded radio row with a very popular President of The United States speaking. This was the worst CPAC ever. First; the loyal activist media types such as 75 Radio were denied credentials to make room for the CNN’s and the NBC’s, despite 1) neither attended in 2019 and 2) both outlets hate CPAC and everyone attending. But those media outlets could pay big money for some floor space. Liberty News Radio and other outlets; no. CPAC denies Infowars a spot on radio row, despite Alex Jones and company able to put up the money for a broadcast at CPAC. The last thing CPAC wants is to be upstages by Alex Jones and his band of misfits.
This year’s theme was America vs Socialism. It should have been simply: Control. Since Alex Jones has a much bigger budget than 75 Radio he was able to pay or admission for all of his people. And for once Alex was well behaved. One of Jones’s correspondents, Owen Shoryer did some broadcasting at one of the vendor booths with permission from the vendor, and was told to cease and desist, which he complied. Shoryer did some livestreaming, like everyone else, and was told to stop, at which time he complied. Then for some unknown reason Shoryer was given the boot. No explanation given. Media personality Gavin McInnes who was denied media credentials was in attendance was escorted off the property because Mediaite complained to the CPAC staff that McInnes was making fun of them! These are the ejections we know of. God only knows how many of non-media people or lesser media people got the boot. (Eddie “The Bombadier” Miller was not at CPAC). CPAC has a history of throwing people out for no reason. Famous ejectees include: Richard Spencer and Laura Loomer who did not act a fool, but was taking away from CPAC publicity, got the boot.
One person who was not allowed to speak, because of her criticism of CPAC and her association with alleged white supremacist Nick Fuentes did receive media credentials. It was Michelle Malkin. I’m willing to bet that Malkin got credentials because 1) she is a nationally recognized media personality and 2) she is a female with a Filipino ancestry and CPAC loves the colored people!
In terms of speakers, many speakers from inside the DC Beltway spoke about what CPAC wanted them to speak about. If you have Ted Cruz or Steve Jim Jordan, let them loose. Our special guest that was at CPAC, retired Army Colonel Joe Martin said that CPAC refused to talk about the Muslim deep state, to appease the PC crowd!
President Donald Trump did speak on Saturday. This was a great move as people’s attention away from the South Carolina primary. Trump knocked it out of the park. But remember in 2016, CPAC told Trump that he could speak at 8am on a Saturday, when everyone would still be asleep and hungover! And Ted Cruz won the straw poll that year to boot. So CPAC didn’t want Trump in 2016! But now…..
The only high point was that one of the bars outside the Gaylord was boycotted. A black female was wearing a MAGA hat when some local ghetto creature walked up and gave her the business on the hat! Needless to say the patriot was given the boot. So Friday night, the Cadillac Ranch was empty!
Michelle Malkin did speak at the America First Political Action Conference held Friday night at a cheap motel that no one knew where. Fuentes said the joint was sold out. It wasn’t. Fuentes wanted people to fly from all over to attend this. As soon as 10pm hit, everyone was told to leave as they had the space until 10pm and not one minute more. You thought I planned that event.
In 2021 look for CPAC to be a ghost town. Trump will start his second term, and there is no midterm election. And the real grassroots media can once again return. I will try to return. Not to rub elbows with the Beltway insiders, but to meet people like Joe Martin and Gary Byrne.
