x For those who don’t get the delight of making it to CPAC, here’s our piece from the place that, this year, is full of Trump-loyal supporters & allies making the case this is still the place/home of the conservative grassroots in 2023.

Rep. Scott Perry kicked it off with what sounds like an Own the Mad Libs speech where he just filled in the blanks.
x Rep. Scott Perry rants about gas stoves and then says he wants to "create a firestorm" so leftists are "quaking in fear" and "losing weight because they're eating because they're worried that they're going to be going to jail" pic.twitter.com/9dB0qh0FAv — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) March 2, 2023
Sen. Rick Scott delivered a real barn burner of a speech where he described the current enemies of America, including: the president, the US senate, the media, the Democratic party, academia, Hollywood, Wall Street and “many of our big corporations.”

Trump’s surrogates are at the conference setting the stage for his big center ring performance on Saturday night. Really getting down to those kitchen table issues Americans are talking about: making sure they aren’t buying gold and silver from those woke ass metals companies out there.
x Guilfoyle is now at CPAC selling gold and silver. She says to stop doing business with woke companies that hate you, and to go to ‘KimsMetals’ to invest for your retirement. pic.twitter.com/NPG6naVy3Z — Ron Filipkowski 🇺🇦 (@RonFilipkowski) March 2, 2023
Reporters have noted the biggest draw thus far is Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.
x The scrum of fans & media following @RepMTG after her CPAC speech is insane. I’m told no one else has got this level of attention so far. pic.twitter.com/ACMbjuQvYz — Tia Mitchell, AJC’s Washington Correspondent (@ajconwashington) March 3, 2023
Even then, the crowd for her speech was paltry at best.

Rep. Matt Gaetz called for fully defunding numerous law enforcement agencies.

Are we agreed this is cult status now?
