Several prominent anti-Trump Republicans, including Congresswoman Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) and Congressman Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), will be hosting a separate “counterprogramming” event that intends to serve as a rival to the upcoming Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).
As Breitbart reports, the “Principles First Summit” will take place from February 26th to February 27th, the last two days of the larger and more popular CPAC event, which is being held in Orlando, Florida. The anti-Trump event will be held in Washington, D.C. at the National Press Club.
“Principles First is excited to announce a two-day grassroots summit at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. on February 26-27, 2022,” the group announced in a statement, “focused on discussing and advancing a more principled politics in the United States.” The group did not specify exactly what kind of “principles” it considers to be best for the country.
“The strength of our republic depends upon the moral conviction of our elected officials,” the vague statement continued. “If we don’t pick trustworthy people to lead us, they will bring the character of the country down with them. Unethical and immoral behavior can never become the norm.”
Besides the two members of Congress, other prominent guests who will be featured include Georgia’s Lieutenant Governor Geoff Duncan (R-Ga.), Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R-Ga.), and disgraced former Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman, who admitted under oath to repeatedly attempting to block the foreign policy of the Trump Administration since he believed it went against a so-called “inter-agency consensus.”
In an interview with CBS, Heath Mayo, the founder of Principles First, referred to the event as the “counterprogramming of CPAC” and said that “We want to come together in a visual show of support for people who have taken stands for ideas when it hasn’t been comfortable.”

Will they call the summit COMMIEPAC?
Suppose they gave a RINO event and nobody came?
Isn’t CPAC having anti-gun, Bernie lovin’, Tulsi Gabbard as a guest this year? Plenty of idiocy to go around apparently
They headline screams “Look at us, Look at us, we have principles!” LMAO, It will be a clown show of self-gratifying narcissists.
What is going on in this crazy world?
What RINO-PAC?
C'mon man--Liz, Adam, Lincoln project pedophiles, stop the bulls#!t!
Disgusts me that I ever voted Bush/Cheney.
A “grassroots” summit in Washington DC? There’s a contradiction if I’ve ever seen one.
Tulsi speaking at CPAC makes strategic sense. Nothing wrong with hearing your oppositions own words to understand how better to craft your message to counter, also better to see if their is common purpose that may be exploited.
Tulsi is a flaming lib and not to be trusted but she also HATES Harris, that can be exploited.
Liz Cheney
Adam Kinzinger
Brad Raffensperger
Alexander Vindman
CPAC mostly is anti-Trump already. Why they bother to have him speak surprises me. IIRC, back in 2021 Matt Schlapp said that Biden won the election.
They will have to hire an audience from democrat staffers.
So, what 7-11 are they gonna meet in?...........................
Tulsi is a flaming lib and not to be trusted but she also HATES Harris, that can be exploited.
For this limited purpose, yes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
It is telling that she was shunned by her own party in favor of the likes of Booty-gig and Braindead.
Were the 'Ratz Party in her image, we would be far better off.
The current party is funded by rich oligarchs and manned by homegrown sociopaths, racists and flat-out crooks.
The more sinister the organization, the more high-minded the label.
Dozens will attend.
