Conservative think tank's exclusive gathering will include Biden official — but not Trump (Unipartyfest)

Aprivate, off-the-record gathering of conservative leaders and wealthy donors will convene this week in Sea Island, Georgia, with appearances by a Biden White House official and several critics of former President Donald Trump.

snip

One of the key speakers at this week's gathering will be Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who has been working behind the scenes to recruit candidates who come from a more traditional Republican mold, in terms of both policy positions and rhetoric, as he works to reclaim the Senate majority later this year in the midterm elections.

Arizona Governor Doug Ducey, who Trump has harshly criticized for refusing to endorse his efforts to decertify President Joe Biden's 2020 win in the state, will also speak at the forum, according to the schedule. McConnell repeatedly attempted to recruit Ducey to jump into Arizona's Senate race, but the governor declined to do so.

And instead of celebrating Trump, like the Conservative Political Action Conference in Orlando last month, this year's AEI World Forum will feature Democrats alongside congressional Republican officials and possible contenders for the party's 2024 presidential nomination.

One of those Democrats is Brian Deese, Mr. Biden's top economic adviser. Deese is slated to appear in front of the World Forum audience on Friday, March 11, giving the White House a rare private platform in front of influential GOP donors and business leaders. Deese will be in conversation with AEI's James Pethokoukis for a breakfast discussion, "An Interview with the Director of the National Economic Council."

I can only name on one hand Democrats i could agree with. This is traitorous. They are selling us out on the road we’re on.
You will own nothing and you will be happy. NOT!

You’d think they’d try harder to hide their true colors. Maybe they don’t have to. Big donors squeeze us out.

Another, Club for Growth supported Arnold during the recall. So did I but I learned. Arnold DID call for a special election with 5 CONSERVATIVE propositions. All failed as we didn’t show up. Works both ways. Are we sending Putin to the Chico’s and Xi? I would think they like each other as much as the Japanese trusted Hitler.

This is just too pathetic.

They will work with the Democrats to discuss how the deck-chairs should be arranged on the Titanic.

They are as deep state as it gets. One of the many groups that should be targeted for "de-nazification"

And so many will, sadly.

I’m completely looking forward to what is going to happen in Georgia this year.

Will all the Country Club/RINO/St Simon’s Island/Reynolds Plantation/Ansley Golf Club/Piedmont Driving Club/UGA-GaTech Frat Boy/Chamber of Commerce Republicans, that are supporting selling out Georgia as fast as they can vote for Kemp? I’m betting they will.

Perdue is no prize bull, that is for sure. But, any support he gets is going to be from those that HATE Kemp and support President Trump.

I’m just Joe 6-Pack. Kemp wins, For Sale sign goes in the front yard and I’m out of here. I do not want to live in a so-called Conservative State that welcomes George Soros with open arms.

As long as we keep re-electing Mitch’s bitches, he will be the leader.

Crapo, Lee, Thune, Grassley, Moran, Lankford, Young, Scott, Boozman, and Amnesty Senators Rubio and Hoeven all need to be primaried and replaced.

Many people are predicting a huge GOP sweep this fall. This article is evidence of why that might not happen.

Who would replace him? The next closest to their views is Xi Jinping and I doubt he’d take the job.
