GOP stars flee CPAC

Someone said to me, 'We all wanted an excuse not to go, and Schlapp gave it to us.' “He will not be at CPAC,” the source with knowledge of the schedule said Monday. In the past, the RNC has also been listed as a sponsor of CPAC; this year, it is not. The crowd booed him in 2021, when former President Donald Trump took a dig at him in his CPAC speech. DeSantis did speak at CPAC last year, when it was in Florida.
