CPAC Cancels Panel On Social Media Censorship, Blocks Jim Hoft, Slurs Trump Supporters
GP ^ | 02/21/18 | Jim Hoft

** Pamela Geller has more.

During the election The Gateway Pundit was the fourth most influential conservative news source.
Following the 2016 election Harvard and Columbia Journalism Review funded research (with money from the Soros Open Society) to find out what happened.

What they found was that conservative Americans whole-heartedly rejected the liberal media and went online and to social media to find the truth.

The university researchers found that The Gateway Pundit was the 4th most influential conservative news source during the election.

(Behind Breitbart, FOX News, The Hill — and, of course, Matt Drudge and The Drudge Report)

Since the election The Gateway Pundit has been continually blocked and shadow-banned by Facebook, shadow-banned by Twitter, sued and ridiculed by the far left and GOP elites.
Despite this our traffic continued to grow in 2017.

This year when Pamela Geller went to CPAC to request a panel on social media censorship they abused her and strung her on until Monday night — after the official agenda was already printed.

CPAC was upset that The Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft was on the panel.
They accused Gateway Pundit of being supporters of neo-Nazis.
This is what they think of The Gateway Pundit and our readers.
This is CPAC.

In fact CPAC does not have ANY of the grassroots supporters for Trump speaking at their conference.
They could not care less about the grassroots leaders who supported this president.
The media told CPAC that Trump supporters are white supremacists and Nazis.
CPAC believes them.

On Tuesday night CPAC cancelled the panel.

Not too ironic. Also not happy with them dropping Dinesh D’Souza for supporting the 2nd.

CPAC started changing immediately after they Allowed Rush to give his first Public Address to the Nation. They realized his type of thought was far too dangerous for a controlled society and they have been censoring the ideas of freedom and liberty in favor of big government ever since.

All real conservative groups should cancel their participation in FudgePAC.

Gateway Pundit should host a competitive conference.

They’re frightened of conservatives and populists.

Gee, wonder why.

I went to CPAC a few years ago, pre-Trump. That they are now Never Trumpers is sad. They marginalize themselves.

“Gateway Pundit should host a competitive conference.”

Yes! Call it RealCPAC. Get some solid conservative and God fearing headliners. Speak truth to lies. Ignite and launch a real and true T.E.A. Party.

CPAC, revealing their true colors. There has been little if any substantive reform within the “Old Guard Elite,” that lies at the core of CPAC. They recognize the President and his followers only because they have to to survive. It is very similar to the Reagan era where they hunkered down and waited it out.

CPAC has been hollowed-out and co-opted by burrowing leftists just like so many other institutions. It is time to abandon CPAC and start over with something better that truly delivers for Americans. The left is insidious.

Hold it at the old CPAC hotel before they moved to Gaylord.
