If
Donald Trump, Jr. was hoping to get support for a political run he did not receive it at Friday s
Conservative Political Action Conference. The son of the former president was the last speaker of the day, but had to address a room with more empty chairs than he probably expected. There was no attempt to be socially distant at CPAC, and it was definitely not standing room only.
The conservative crowd did not seem terribly impressed or thrilled with Trump Jr. s remarks. At one point, when he compared CNN s chief media correspondent Brian Stelter (who he called Brian Slettler) to Mr. Potato Head, claiming that everyone makes that comparison (almost no one makes that comparison, except for this guy and a Fox News host), he got enough pushback that he had to try to defend his ugly attack.
