Trump rallies his troops with CPAC speech
Former US president Donald Trump’s highly anticipated speech at this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference did not disappoint his fans. He repeatedly lied about winning the 2020 election and said that Joe Biden’s first month as president had been the most disastrous of any president in modern history. He also listed the names of those Republican senators who supported his second impeachment. “Get rid of ‘em all,” he said. Trump told his audience the Republicans would return to take back the White House, senate and house of representatives all three were lost under his presidency and hinted he would lead the charge as presidential candidate in 2024. “I may even decide to beat them for a third time,” he said. CNN, The New York Times and The Guardian have details.
