Washington (CNN)Donald Trump will no longer speak at the annual conservative confab CPAC this weekend, he announced Friday.
Trump was scheduled to speak at the annual gathering of the who's-who of the conservative world Saturday, but said he would be campaigning, instead.
In a statement, the Trump campaign said the GOP front-runner will instead attend rallies in Kansas and Florida.
"Because of this, he will not be able to speak at CPAC as he has done for many consecutive years," the campaign said. "Mr. Trump would like to thank Matt Schlapp and all of the executives at CPAC and looks forward to returning to next year, hopefully as president of the United States."
The American Conservative Union, the conference's organizers, said it was "disappointed."
"We are very disappointed Donald Trump has decided at the last minute to drop out of CPAC," the group said. "This comes at a critical time in our movement's history. His decision sends a clear message to grassroots conservatives."
But ACU said it remains "neutral" on the presidential race.
"CPAC is the heart and soul of the conservative movement and will be, with or without Mr. Trump," ACU said. "Since we invited him several months agoand Mr. Trump accepted our invitation and terms we made it clear all candidates would follow the same format. And now he is backing out."

Apparently they were planning a walkout when Trump came on and he got wind of it
beck should be arrested
You claim he’s never asked God for forgiveness. Here’s what he says:
“When I drink my little wine — which is about the only wine I drink — and have my little cracker, I guess that is a form of asking for forgiveness, and I do that as often as possible because I feel cleansed,” he said. “I think in terms of ‘let’s go on and let’s make it right.’”
CPAC? You mean “Conservatives” now back Gay Marriage?
TFP News Release: CPAC Turns Left with Pro-Homosexual, Pro-Atheist Groups
Absolute smart, strategic & tactful move, on the Trump’s campaign part. Speaking to a group like CPAC is a one day event...and...then it is forgotten. How dare the ACU bad mouth Mr. Trump...who has been loyal to CPAC for many years. What low life ingrates!!! DJT....campaign, campaign, campaign......the voters in different states love you in their midst. Screw all these GOP Establishment boot kissers in CPAC & the ACU!!! ACU & Mitt Roney...one and the same!!! GO DONALD J. TRUMP!!!
Your Trump supports it. So why ask me?
He’s nuts. Waiting on a sign from Kolob. Over the edge. Whacked-out.
Did somebody get an audio clip of this? I haven’t checked the whole thread yet but I will to see if there’s a short clip.
That’s good to know. CPAC has gone complete establishment.
He could also give back the money he screwed the young folks out of. You know the ones who had the misfortune to be conned into his not accredited “university,” too, don’t you think?
[Glenn Beck today about Trump
If I was close enough and had a knife, the stabbing just wouldnt stop.]
HOLY COW. This lunatic needs a visit from the Secret Service TODAY.
He’s inciting, too.
Wow. : (
Regardless of this intramural battle, we have a real war waiting on us. We'll have to be united. I want you by my side. If it's fighting for Trump, fine. If it's fighting for Cruz, fine.
Got it. Cruz is pro gay marriage pro Atheists now since that is what the “Principled Conservatives” at CPAC support.
So CPAC involves your kind of “conservative”, elhombre? Hmmmm....

Good move DJT. These CPAC Vermin were setting a trap for you!!!! The GOP Establishment ie steering the ACU wheel. Just hearing the elitist vermin of the ACU speak out against Trump.....makes me puke!!! The GOP country club elite snobs & s cannot help Mr. Trump in the same loyal fashion that blue collar workers and ordinary folks can!! Screw......them......they count & care for nothing but their own power and greed!!!
It’s just like the book “Animal Farm”....at the end you could not tell the difference between the Humans (Republican Establishment), and the Pigs (Democrat Establishment) because they both, simply, had become the exact same thing!!!
"If I told the real stories of my experiences with women, often seemingly very happily married and important women, this book would be a guaranteed best-seller."
Just like the forgiveness thing, you are being dishonest with your claims.
He'd also be a fool to participate in any more "debate" shows that are increasingly adopting the format once the sole dominion of the Jerry Springer show.
Rush never said a word. So far, neither has Sean nor do I expect him to.
If Trump needs to be here in Kansas then it must be close. Cruz is here today in Wichita and Rubio came two days ago to Wichita. Cruz was in Kansas City, Kansas Wednesday.
Beck gets crazier and crazier, And that’s a guy I defended just a few years ago. But now he is a nut and he ruined Cruz. All Beck’s zany attacks against Trump are being spouted now by unhinged Cruz.
