Thats the difference between a 'smarmey' and schmoozing liberal vs. a Patriot.
The Patriot will speak his mind even if it is confrontational, especially if it is the truth and a 'core moral value.
Interesting to note that the conference leadership issued a public apology for the memberships behavior the next day.
Dent is a simpering joke of a man. There is not moral comprehension in him.
Cruz is a man of clear conviction who spoke specifically to the conference and its membership. The conference leadership spoke forcefully against those so called Christians who tried to silence Cruz. Dent not so much.
