For nearly 12 hours, lovers of all things conservative cheered their way through speeches and panel discussions Feb. 24 at the sprawling Rosen Shingle Creek resort in Orlando.
They wrapped up a day of applauding fiery monologues at the Conservative Political Action Conference, better known as CPAC, by nibbling finger foods at the event’s official welcome reception.
There, in the middle of a sea of booths selling or promoting a range of conservative gear and topics, MyPillow maven Mike Lindell railed from an elevated platform. He was surrounded by a crowd of people holding up phones to record his passionate testimony about Jan. 6-related events and injustices.
With day one behind them, fired-up conservatives streamed out, ready to return in the morning for another day of cheerleading for the Right’s leaders and politicians.
Day two’s highlights include promised appearances by South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage, and U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), who, as yet, has not officially registered as a candidate for reelection in November.
