What happens when you incite an insurrection to prevent the congressional certification of the 2020 election results? Turns out you get invited to speak

Supposedly disgraced ex-president intends to send the message that he still controls GOP — and its voters

This weekend’s CPAC conference in Orlando will have a decidedly Florida feel, with Gov. Ron DeSantis kicking off the event and Palm Beach resident Donald Trump closing it. But in between, the tone of the country’s largest conservative event, and possibly the next four years of Republican politics, will be set by multiple panels indulging in Trump’s unfounded conspiracy theories of election fraud.

Dean Obeidallah writes that the American Conservative Union's invitation to Donald Trump to speak at its annual CPAC gathering signals that conservatives and Republicans apparently are trying to sell a new "Big Lie" to the American people: that Trump's assault on our democracy through his post-election lies and incitement to insurrection is no big deal. Or worse, such conduct is acceptable in the pursuit of political power.
