CPAC backpedals on pro-Russia tweet as some U.S. conservatives back Putin
Washington Post ^ | 10/1/2022 | Isaac Arnsdorf

The Conservative Political Action Conference on Friday tweeted — and then hours later deleted — a message that called on Democrats to “end the gift-giving to Ukraine” while featuring a fluttering Russian flag. The tweet also referred to “Ukraine-occupied territories,” appearing to legitimize Russian President Vladimir Putin’s claims to annex provinces based on a referendum that the U.S. and allies view as illegal.

CPAC chairman Matt Schlapp on Saturday said the tweet did not clear the normal approval process because he was traveling for a conference in Australia. “Due to my travel into a distant time zone it was never approved per usual,” he said in a text message.

Again, ‘invasion’ is subjective to user.

Again, ask the majority of those Russian speaking Ukrainians in the 4 regions/oblasts that just voted (twice - 2015 and now 2022) to join Russia if the Russians “invaded” or Russian’s actions were an “invasion.”

I can post a crapload of videos from various independent journalists that have went to those four regions/oblasts and actually talked with and interviewed numerous, numerous people living in those regions/oblasts.

Just let me know.

Get several million more illegals in California and they’ll probably vote to join Mexico.🙄

And some here think that would justify Mexico invading the US.

You have access to my post history?

Everyone has access to everyone's post history. Or weren't you aware of that when you were posting your pro-Russia screeds?

It’s not a us manufactured war.

This has been brewing fir decades as Moscow refuses to recognise the legitimacy of the states that freed themselves from the Kremlin’s yoke

“This war is very simple. Deep State versus anti-Deep State.”


Very true.

Intelligence is not an achievement, it’s a GIFT. Unfortunately it is not distributed “equitably” (our deep state’s new favorite buzzword.)

It is distributed the same way height is.

Some people are VERY, VERY tall. Some people are VERY, VERY short.

Some people are VERY, VERY intelligent. Some people are VERY, VERY stupid.

When I read the posts of some of these obnoxious malcontents I always tell myself...maybe they’re VERY, VERY tall...:-)

The right diplomatic end is for Putin to withdraw his invasion and leave Ukraine in peace, including Crimea

If you are against the war then you are in favour of Putin withdrawing his invasion force from Ukraine

Fascinating that this CPAC guy will openly support the armed invasion of Ukraine and show the Russian flag.


It’s midterm election politics. Sadly, it’s making some folks in MAGA-land look like utter buffoons as they channel 1980’s Democrat talking points.

I’m glad to CPAC backwalk whatever their pro-Russia tweet was.

The failure of all conservatives to recognize the importance of helping Ukraine defend itself, has me just a little worried about how to vote.


You should be worried. This isn’t Reagan conservativism. It’s the vapid fringe politics of Chomsky and Ron Paul finding a home in mainstream conservativism. Nothing good will come from weak conservatives who wish to surrender to nuclear blackmail of fascist Russia.

Nobody backs Putin.

Sorry to disappoint poinq, but I 'back' Putin and Russia in this conflict. I have and always will wage personal jihad against the Deep State (the true enemy) and support all who oppose it. In this case, Russia.

To put it in simpler terms, Ukraine can suck it.
