THREAD: New 4K footage from @N2Sreports contributor @jimmyevansjr shows the tense scene outside CPAC yesterday as pro-Trump and anti-Trump activist awaited the former president's arrival at the conference in Orlando, Florida.
One antifa activist with "Fash not welcome" sign told @jimmyevansjr that "the views being displayed at this conference are despicable and disgusting, racist, transphobic, homophobic."
They say Trump "created more division than any president in recent memory, or in all history."
An electronic billboard truck circled CPAC the entire time reading "January 6th Reunion" on the side and "Trump 20-24 to life" on the back.
Some anti-Trump activists outside CPAC yesterday brought body bags which they put out to protest that America hit 500,000 COVID deaths.
One explains CPAC as the target because Republicans are "the party that's responsible for that."
One pro-Trump activist named "Bazooka Joe" explained that he's at CPAC to "celebrate the USA and my president Donald J Trump, and I support the Second Amendment, and Coco-Cola is a racist so I shot 'em."
"Bazooka Joe" had a coke can on his hat with an arrow through it.
After "Bazooka Joe" in this clip you'll also see an Egyptian American Trump supporter, who claims that the pro-Trump side has "all the diversity" while the anti-Trump side consists of "white Marxists."
Two interviewees here reflected a common theme in their conversations with @jimmyevansjr: While they are still loyal to Trump and would like to see him continue to influence the GOP, they express concern that age could preclude him from being the right candidate in 2024.
Similarly, two young conservative activists express that they feel the GOP is "corrupt" but that they feel Trump was fighting the "swamp" during his presidency (which they feel was stolen).
One adds that the "MAGA movement" needs to stay alive even absent a President Trump.

This morning, @TeamYouTube took down the one livestream I managed to take on January 6.
The video shows people at 9am in front of the Capitol.
My channel now has a formal warning that leads to a strike if they do it again.
You can watch the video backed up here on @OdyseeTeam. As you'll see, the video itself (and I in it) make no claims to the legitimacy of the protesters' beliefs.
This doesn't remove disinfo; it only removes a recording of what led to January 6.
THREAD: On Saturday, @MaranieRae filmed for @N2Sreports as right-wing group "Patriot Prayer" protested outside the Vancouver office of Congresswoman Jamie Herrera Beutler (R) promising to vote her out of office over her vote to impeach President Trump.
One woman said her 91 year old mother donated to, "loved" and supported Congresswoman Jamie Herrera Beutler (R) but now feels "so sad, so betrayed" because of her choice to vote to impeach Trump.
"Patriot Prayer" leader Joey Gibson spoke about the future of the conservative movement following January 6, saying "God has a plan."
He says establishment Republicans who "pretend to be conservatives" are a bigger threat to their movement than Democrats.
THREAD: About a dozen armed "Boogaloo" as well as two anti-fascist activists gathered this afternoon to hold an anti-ICE "Open the Cages" protest outside the Atlanta Immigration Court.
The group particularly focused on forced hysterectomies of migrant women in ICE custody.
"When I say 'fuck' you say ICE! Fuck! ICE! When I say 'open' you say cages! Open! Cages!"
Boogaloos chanted against ICE before being taught a new chant by an anti-fascist in attendance: "When immigrant rights are under attack, rise up fight back!"
One boogaloo speaker called ICE a "xenophobic agency" and demanded "the complete and total abolishment of ICE."
He referenced Biden's new ICE guidelines, which he called "virtue signaling."
"As long as ICE exists, there will be human rights violations."
Unusual situation today following conservative rally I filmed in Olympia, WA: An armed man wearing a mask confronted other participants of being "fake Republicans" for filming people's faces, which he felt was an antifa tactic to dox people.
They believed he was an infiltrator.
"You're not a Republican" the armed man told Ted Cooke, a two-time GOP state rep nominee.
Cooke retorted that the event called for people not wearing camo and looking "militant."
The two later shook hands and agreed they both mistook eachother for "false flags."
The situation was quite unusual, and is contained in full in the two tweets above, but you can watch it (or share it!) altogether in the full video on @N2Sreports Youtube.
