Conservative radio host
John Fredericks live from the Conservative Political Action Conference’s (CPAC) media row in Orlando, FL, attacked the conference over CPAC taking corporate money and not being right-wing enough.
Speaking on War Room Pandemic podcast Thursday morning, the radio host didn’t hold back.
“The populists have taken CPAC over at the grassroots level, and so, this is a beautiful thing,
Matt [Gaetz], we are using their CPAC corporate money to spread our message. I mean, you just can’t get better than this. We are taking their money, their chamber of commerce money, all these sponsors, to spread our message,” Fredericks stated.

First up, Pennsylvania, where the primary to replace retiring Senator Pat Toomey has already turned into a nasty slapfest. Any candidate who wants to win in Pennsylvania in 2022 must be full Trump MAGA, Steve Bannon told Politico, seemingly oblivious of the fact that full Trump MAGA was on the ballot in November, and he lost. Other data points include the state s governor, lieutenant governor, and half its congressional delegation, all of whom are Democrats. But Steve Bannon has never been overly preoccupied with the truth, so here we are.
In a sign of the Trump era’s lingering alternate realities, Republicans in the struggling state party are refusing to move forward with a new system for choosing nominees.
Senate Republicans who might run for president in 2024 face a career-altering vote with the decision to convict or acquit former President Donald Trump on impeachment charges he incited the siege of the U.S. Capitol Jan. 6.
