Lauren Boebert Says Conservatives ‘Have The Weapons To Win’ In Militant CPAC Rant

Colorado Republican extremist Congresswoman Lauren Boebert was one of the featured speakers at the Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC) today in Maryland, and the speech she gave reeked of militancy and threats as she suggested that right-wingers “have the weapons to win” in a battle against Democrats.

Pacing the stage like a caged animal, Boebert repeatedly fired off scripture from the Bible and denounced “the left [that] wants to silence your speech.”

“We are going to make sure that all of these agencies that have been working against you … have an audit and if there is any woke program in these agencies, it is immediately defunded. Every diversity, equity, inclusion program … every woke initiative in our military … must be uprooted and completely defunded.”

The ardent Second Amendment extremist also remarked, “We have truth on our side … This fight has come to us. We didn’t ask for it, but we have the weapons to win this battle against actual evil.”

Near the end of her comments, Boebert told the sparse audience:

“We have just begun winning. Don’t let anyone grow weary in this fight.”

Boebert’s CPAC comments shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone. After all, this is the same deranged lunatic who said Jesus wouldn’t have been crucified if he’d had more AR-15 assault rifles around him.

At an event hosted by the Charis Christian Center in 2022, the Colorado Republican said:

“They like to say: ‘Oh, Jesus didn’t need an AR-15. How many AR-15s do you think Jesus woulda had?’ Well, he didn’t have enough to keep his government from killing him.”

She also made reference to the Biblical story of Cain and Abel:

“Cancel culture has been here since the very beginning. Cain canceled Abel. And guess what, it wasn’t with a big, scary AR-15, it was with a rock. So I don’t think it’s a firearm issue, I think it’s a heart, a sin issue.”

GOP Sexual Assault

Male Staffer Says CPAC Chair Matt Schlapp Sexually Assaulted Him: ‘Grabbed My Junk And Pummeled It’

A male staffer for the 2022 Herschel Walker Senate campaign says that CPAC chairman and longtime conservative activist Matt Schlapp sexually assaulted him as he was driving Schlapp back from a bar in October.

The Daily Beast reports that Schlapp is accused of groping and fondling the staffer’s crotch.

The staffer described Schlapp, who had traveled to Georgia for a Walker campaign event, as inappropriately and repeatedly intruding into his personal space at the bars. He said he was also keenly aware of his “power dynamic” with Schlapp, widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in national conservative politics.

Schlapp, the staffer recalled, said he had wanted to spend the evening discussing the staffer’s professional future.

“It was a public space, and I was thinking that he got the hint. I did not want to embarrass him,” he said. “But it escalated.”

The staffer, who is in his thirties, recalled the incident in great detail.

Schlapp put his hand on his leg, then reached over and “fondled” his crotch at length while he was frozen in shock, calling it “scarring” and “humiliating.” When they arrived at the hotel, the staffer said Schlapp invited him to his room. The staffer said he declined and left “as quickly as I could.”

He informed the campaign about the incident the next morning.

When the staffer got home that night, he received a call from Schlapp—shortly after midnight, according to call records the staffer shared with The Daily Beast—to confirm that the staffer would still chauffeur him to an event in Macon the next day. The staffer described the call as “short and perfunctory,” but after confirming he would drive him, the staffer “broke down.” He then recorded a series of tearful video accounts detailing the evening, which he shared with The Daily Beast as well as with two people close to him, including the staffer’s wife.

In one of the videos he recorded, the staffer says:

“Matt Schlapp of the CPAC grabbed my junk and pummeled it at length, and I’m sitting there thinking what the hell is going on, that this person is literally doing this to me.

“From the bar to the Hilton Garden Inn, he has his hands on me. And I feel so fucking dirty. I feel so fucking dirty.

“I’m supposed to pick this motherfucker up in the morning and just pretend like nothing happened. This is what I’m dealing with. This is what I got to do.”

The staffer also sent Schlapp a text message to let him know someone else would be driving him in the morning.

“I did want to say I was uncomfortable with what happened last night. The campaign does have a driver who is available to get you to Macon and back to the airport.”

Schlapp replied with texts of his own that sound like something from a lovesick teen:

“Pls give me a call.”

“If you could see it in your heart to call me at the end of day. I would appreciate it. If not I wish you luck on the campaign and hope you keep up the good work.”

A attorney for Schlapp denied the allegations, “This appears to be now the twelfth Daily Beast piece with personal attacks on Matt Schlapp and his family. The attack is false and Mr. Schlapp denies any improper behavior. We are evaluating legal options for response.”

MAGA Couple Whines CPAC Ripped Them Off By Making Them Watch Trump’s Speech From The ‘Overflow Room’

Bless their little hateful hearts, the MAGA faithful are being ripped off every step of the way, and yet they can’t see it or, even when they do, they never blame their lord and savior, Donald John Trump. Instead, they blame others for the greed that follows wherever the failed, one-term former president goes.

Case in point: The CPAC conference being held this weekend in Dallas Texas. Trump spoke Saturday evening to attendees, but there was such huge demand to see the disgraced, twice-impeached ex-president that tickets were sold for people to watch the speech from other rooms, where it was piped in via video.

That led to some of the Trump acolytes complaining to Davram Stiefler of comedy duo The Good Liars that they’d been treated terribly.

Steifler shared a video he made outside CPAC in which he announces:

“We are outside of CPAC in Dallas, 2022. People are getting turned away – want to tell us about it?”

The man explained:

“Yes, we were looking forward to seeing Trump live. We actually paid for it right here, and they knew we were not getting in.”

That led Steifler to ask:

“They sold you tickets — it was already overcapacity — they took your money, sent you in there and you just got turned away?”

The man replied:

“Exactly.”

Steifler:

“Do you think it’s an issue of the organizers of CPAC getting greedy?”

That led the man to respond:

“It could be that. It may not be organized enough, not knowing what the capacity was. I’m not gonna sit and watch in the overflow room.”

Be sure and notice that the couple never said a bad word about Trump, who may well have suggested CPAC sell as many tickets as possible and split the take with him. Would that surprise you? If so, then you clearly don’t know the level of grift the Donald operates from.

There’s an old saying which applies when it comes to Con Man Don: If you can’t tell who’s being conned, congratulations, it’s you!

Trump Grosses Out CPAC By Claiming The White House Doctor ‘Loved Looking At My Body’

Taking the stage Saturday evening at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), failed, one-term, twice-impeached former president riffed for over and hour on his favorite topics — himself, himself, and himself — even going to far as to tell attendees that former White House physician Ronny Jackson (who now serves in Congress) “loved” looking at his body when he gave him a physical.

According to Mediaite, Jackson was in attendance as Trump gave his speech:

During his speech, the former President shouted out Jackson, who stood up in the audience, smiling to a round of applause.

“He was a great doctor,” said Trump “You know, he was an admiral, a doctor, and now he’s a congressman.”

Trump continued claiming that he asked Jackson which career he preferred and “he sort of indicated doctor because he loved looking at my body.”

“It was so strong and powerful,” noted Trump.

The disgraced ex-president added that Jackson told him he was “the healthiest president that’s ever lived.”

Jackson was the subject of an Defense Department Inspector General report last year that found he had contributed to a hostile work environment, drank on duty, and engaged in sexually inappropriate conduct during his time as White House Physician.

As for Trump’s ludicrous claim that he’s the “healthiest president that’s ever lived,” take a look at this photo of the Donald from last weekend during a golf tournament at his Bedminster Golf Club:

Does that tub of lard look healthy to you?

There’s also this photo, which was also taken as Trump played golf at the Saudi-funded golf pro-am last weekend:

Does that man look healthy, or does he look like he needs to be hospitalized?

This one tweet best sums up how the rest of us feel when we see Donald Trump:

Rick Scott’s CPAC Speech Was Such A Disaster That The Audience REFUSED To Applaud

Florida Republican Sen. Rick Scott is considered by some to be a potential candidate for the GOP presidential nomination in 2024, but based on the reception he received Friday during a speech he gave at the Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC), it doesn’t look like may Republicans are excited by the prospect of a Scott candidacy.

Scott began his speech by tossing out plenty of culture war red meat to the crowd, but they weren’t the least bit hungry when he told them:

“If you do speak up, boom, you’re going to be canceled. Your views, if you don’t conform with Big Tech, Fauci, or Neil Young, can be taken off Spotify, YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter.”

Even though Scott paused for applause, there was none, which forced him to soldier on:

“The militant left in America are a modern day version of book burners.

“That’s right. Canceling, silencing, and banning from the Internet is book burning. These are the most narrow-minded, intolerant people our country has ever seen.”

The most blatant silencing, however, was from the audience, where perhaps two people offered up a few tepid claps of accord.

No doubt thinking he would bring the house down with his denunciation of “socialism,” Scott remarked:

“Socialism is not a new idea. It’s one of the dumbest, oldest, most discrete ideas of the 20th century that resulted in the deaths of 100 million people.

“If these Democrats who have no idea how the real world works, are acting like they just invented socialism. The modern wacky left Democrat has never read George Orwell. They don’t know they’re making his predictions come true.”

Crickets. Nothing.

Scott was forced to use what he probably considered his rhetorical nuclear weapon:

“Let’s be clear. What the militant left is now proposing is not simply wrong. It is evil.”

You could almost sense that people were yawning and checking their watches.

Rick Scott is not a serious person or a serious candidate for the White House two years from now. Watching paint dry is more exciting than listening to this wannabe funeral director whine.

Here’s the video. (WARNING: May cause drowsiness):
