CPAC claims to be the largest annual gathering of conservatives in the nation.
I’ve always been happy that #CPAC included the discussion of abortion and prolife speakers, and have spoken twice at the conference. Once pregnant and once as a new mom.

I have served on the Social and Cultural Planning Committee for CPAC, where a small group of leaders meets to compile topic and speaker ideas and submit them to CPAC. These always seemed to be considered and many accepted.
But not this year.

Oddly, this year, not a single speaker or session focused on abortion.
Not one on the threat to women's sports
Not one on religious liberty
Not one on family, marriage, sex trafficking, pornography, etc...

My biggest takeaways from today's #CPAC2022 coverage are:
1. how dominant the anti-woke message has become and how it fuses COVID denial, racism denial, anti-trans, anti-sex ed, anti-public schools message into one big bundle of white victimhood.

2. how they're trying to sweep Jan. 6 under the rug and reframe the conversation to be about a "faulty" 2020 election and push for voter suppression laws. That Stop the Steal figures like Jenny Beth Martin, and Senators like Hawley and Cruz headlined are signs of further trouble.
3. How, like we'd anticipated, anti-immigrant politics are emerging just in time for the mid-terms. The myth of the border is used as a way to shift the blame on everything from crime rates to the opioid epidemic onto immigrants.
This guy is talking about protecting “viewpoint minorities” #CPAC2022
The guy on stage just mentioned Andrew Breitbart.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine hits just as flagship conservative conference #CPAC2022 is starting, & will likely dominate discussion. At Friday's AFPAC, white nationalist Nick Fuentes' counter-conference, speakers & special guests are already outright celebrating Russia's invasion
Nick Fuentes- "I am totally rooting for Russia"; "this is the coolest thing to happen since 1/6"; "UKRAINE WILL BE DESTROYED"; "I never doubted you [Putin], my Czar". This morning, he hints that he's inside #CPAC2022, despite being banned
Gab CEO Andrew Torba, slated to speak at AFPAC alongside Fuentes- "Putin is brilliant"; "I hope the Globalist American Empire gets humiliated from all angles"; "Ukraine needs to be liberated & cleansed from the degeneracy of the secular western globalist empire"
