Erickson: CPAC Is A “Grift Operation With Gay Cruising”

September 29, 2023 Infighting Is Funny, Republicans

“I’ve seen conservatives stand firm and get sequestration even as Republican leaders complained and sought to undermine it. And I’ve seen conservatives fracture in shutdowns and betray each other. I’ve seen senior members of the movement decide it was time to cash in and grift out.

“I’ve seen young hucksters wrap the label of conservatism around themselves and prey on retirees for cash, showing fabricated results in return.

“I’m so old, I remember when CPAC was a gathering of actual conservatives and not a grift operation with a gay cruising scene on the side.

“Right now, less than a dozen populists are leading the government to a shutdown without a real plan, list of demands, and plot to get the House GOP united with an assist from Senate Republicans. It looks more like performance art than a master plan.

“These populists will get the GOP blamed for the coming recession and the lack of FAA tower staff that brings the aviation industry to a ground stop. If they have a real plan and can build some unity within the greater conservative movement within the House, they need to get going.

“So if this shutdown proceeds, I hope Matt Gaetz and the others can present some workable plan that actually cuts the size and scope of Washington. Otherwise, what are we doing other than peeing in the wind?” – Right wing commentator Erick Erickson, via email.
