CPAC 2019: ‘Bring the Fire’

Jacob Wohl is a 21-year-old Trump supporter from California who laughs at how much he’s hated by liberals: “Of course they hate me. I’m destroying everything they love.” Wohl is a political prodigy. Having started his first business while still in high school, he was investigated by the Securities and Exchange Commission when he was only 18 years old, an investigation he believes was a “Deep State” reprisal for his outspoken support of Trump during the 2016 campaign.

When we met in the lobby bar of the Gaylord Hotel on the first day of the 46th annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), I had no idea how notorious Wohl is. Just the previous day, he’d been banned from Twitter, where he had more than 180,000 followers, after bragging to USA Today about his plans to use fake accounts to play havoc in the 2020 presidential campaign. Basically, Wohl intends to use social media to influence Democrat primary voters into supporting fringe candidates with no chance of beating President Trump. Such mischief-making by private citizens is not illegal. Liberals have spent the past two years fuming over conspiracy theories about “Russian collusion” in the 2016 campaign, but there’s no law against Americans trying to influence election outcomes, or else everybody at CNN might be in federal prison.

Getting banned from social-media platforms is an increasingly common fate for conservatives, as sites like Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube seem to have become part of what the late Andrew Breitbart called “the Democrat-Media Complex.” PayPal is now teaming up with the SPLC to enforce what Allum Bokhari calls the “financial blacklisting” of conservatives, and every day brings new headlines of further efforts to suppress online opposition to the Left’s agenda.

Wohl could be an asset to conservatism, or he could be a phony trying to make the conservative movement look bad. I'm wary of any of the phony alt-right types like Richard Spencer, especially the ones from CA like Wohl and Spencer that seem to be springing up out of nowhere.
