The left has some comparative advantages in its war against liberty and tolerance. Chief among these is their boundless imagination for making things up. Last weekend’s target was the American Conservative Union (ACU), which hosts CPAC, the largest gathering of conservatives in the world.
Thousands of conservative activists, hundreds of conservative entities, as well as conservative politicians, thought leaders and millions of viewers in the United States and around the world were together in person or virtually. If that wasn’t enough to trigger the haters, that President Trump delivered his first speech since leaving office was the final straw. CPAC was the perfect target for a smear campaign.
CPAC and the end of the GOP
Throughout the campaign trail and immediately after the election, President Joseph Biden predicted that Republicans would have an “epiphany” about working across the aisle with a Democratic president.

The slogan should have never been âMake America Great Again,â it should have been, âMake America White Again.â

The hotel chain also attacked CPAC members who acted with hostility when they were asked to wear masks, risking the health of other hotel guests and employees.
