In a strong defense of the former president, Trump ally and political strategist Steve Bannon battered GOP “oligarchs,” who he accused of working against Donald Trump‘s 2024 campaign. Bannon called out “hedge fund guys,” like Ken Griffin, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Fox News owner Rupert Murdoch, who he said are out of touch with conservative voters. Much of Bannon’s role, as a key part of Trump’s team since the 2016 race, has been to paint the MAGA movement as “anti-establishment” and a counter to elites from both political parties. This strategy was quite effective in 2016 aga...

The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) tweeted – and deleted – a pro-Russia tweet that called Ukraine land illegally seized by Russia “Ukrainian-occupied territories,” which seemingly insinuated that the land rightfully belonged to Russia. The tweet continued on to denounce Democrats and President Joe Biden for continuing to send taxpayer dollars to help Ukraine, “Meanwhile, we are under attack at our southern border. When will Democrats put #AmericaFirst and end the gift-giving to Ukraine?” The tweet, which also included a photo of a Russian flag, was up from Friday morning until...

Republicans drew criticism last week after Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban spoke at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Thursday. Orban was warmly welcomed by the crowd in Dallas, Texas, but he is known to be a controversial figure on the international scene. Just last week he made comments regarding racial purity, causing one of his longtime advisers to resign. “This is why [Europeans] have always fought,” Orban said. “We are willing to mix with one another, but we do not want to become peoples of mixed race.” Orban has also previously contended that same-sex couples ...

Former President Donald Trump has picked a fight with a formidable new enemy in the GOP. After prominent Republican strategist Karl Rove criticized Trump for his “wanting” CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) speech last Sunday, Trump fired back calling the revered strategist “a RINO” (Republican in name only). Rove wrote a op-ed to the Wall Street Journal on Thursday saying of Trump’s speech at CPAC last Sunday, “There was no forward-looking agenda, simply a recitation of his greatest hits. People like fresh material. Repetition is useful to a point, but it grows stale.” A majority...

A golden statue of former President Donald Trump was the talk of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) this weekend. The statue stands six-feet-tall, wearing a suit jacket with a white shirt, red tie and American-flag shorts. He was also wearing red sandals and holding a magic wand, a reference to how former President Barack Obama once said Trump “didn’t have a magic wand” to bring back manufacturing jobs in the United States. Tommy Zegan, creator of the sculpture, said, “he’s wearing a business suit because he’s a businessman. The red tie represents the Republican party and the ...

On Sunday night, the Hyatt Hotels Corporation released a statement expressing concern over reports that the Conservative Political Active Conferences (CPAC) stage was shaped like a rune used by the Nazis. The statement also condemned CPAC guests who disrespected Hyatt staff members for attempting to enforce social distancing measures. A photo of the CPAC stage went viral on Twitter over the weekend after someone compared its shape to a Nordic othala rune, which the Nazis appropriated to “reconstruct a mythic ‘Aryan’ past.” As a result, many social media users went to Hyatt’s official Twitter, ...

During his speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) called double-masking guidelines and mask ordinances at restaurants “dumb” and mocked Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York). Cruz complained that he has to wear a mask when he goes into restaurants but can take it off when he is seated at a table. “Now they’re saying, everybody can get immunized, we can have herd immunity everywhere, and we’re going to wear masks for the next 300 years,” Cruz told the CPAC audience. “And by the way, not just one mask, two, three, four. You can’t have too many...
