Holy shit. NBC News has a heartwarming little nugget about CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) leaning into the spirit of inclusivity by welcoming literal Nazis this year and allowing them to mingle freely with attendees. Of course, this isn’t the first time goose-stepping, Jew-hating incels have tried to make their way into the conference. White nationalist creep Nick Fuentes shows up annually. However, in previous years, CPAC officials were at least vaguely concerned about the optics of allowing brown-shirted, genocidal maniacs to schmooze with the usual crowd of everyday soft racists and would gently escort them out. But this year, it seems, the doors have been opened for everyone. Said CPAC Chairman Matt Schlapp, “Unlike the Democrats who are obsessed with identity politics, today’s Republican party is a big tent. Whether you quietly call your gardener a ‘beaner’ behind his back or openly call for the extermination of an entire race of people, we want you to know there’s a home for you in the GOP.”
Don’t say they didn’t warn us.
