A display seemingly complaining that the definition of domestic violence is negatively impacting nuclear families was photographed at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C.
Dubbed as the most influential gathering of conservatives both in the United States and abroad, the event concludes Saturday and features speakers including former President Donald Trump, Representatives Elise Stefanki and Jim Jordan, Senator J.D. Vance, former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, former Representative Tulsi Gabbard, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell and more.
American Conservative Union Chairman Matt Schlapp on Wednesday defended CPAC's denial to provide media passes to "left-wing" journalists, instead forcing them to purchase tickets to the event that has reportedly experienced decreased attendance throughout its first two days.
Eric Michael Garcia, a reporter for The Independent and an MSNBC columnist, posted a photo Friday on X, formerly Twitter, taken at CPAC showing a sign decrying "Nuking the nuclear family."
The image includes multiple apparent criticisms of domestic violence and/or domestic violence-related laws, including the following verbatim statements:
Overly broad definitions of domestic violence
Restraining orders issued without evidence of abuse
False allegations
Biased arrest policies
Presumption of guilt
Ignoring the science that DV [domestic violence] is an equal opportunity problem"
Newsweek reached out to CPAC via email for comment.
"It's disheartening to see this kind of harmful disinformation about domestic violence in any venue," Esta Soler, president and founder of Futures Without Violence, told Newsweek.
Futures Without Violence is a nonprofit organization with offices in San Francisco, Washington, D.C., and Boston that is involved in community-based programs and public policy work around domestic violence.

So Newsweak has no problem with false accusations of abuse and rape, that says all you need to know.
Yeah, and I agree with the sign. When a parent tries to get help for a child who is suffering from gender dysphoria, to avoid life altering sexual organ disfigurement, is accused of child endangerment over phony science, who is the real culprit? It’s not the parents of the child, it’s the government.
I’m thinking this was a guy, and it was guy who fell victim to Family and Divorce Courts which are severely biased toward wives over husbands.
There has been barely a mention of CPAC at FR, a conservative forum, so decreased attendance isn't surprising.
>> “Futures Without Violence”
Prolly operates on the similarly deceptive, Leftwing principles of:
“...only in cases of incest and rape”
Fox has dropped it like a hot potato.
They support 30 year old rape cases w/o any evidence.
Overly broad definitions of domestic violence
Restraining orders issued without evidence of abuse
False allegations
Biased arrest policies
Presumption of guilt
__________
This Guy affirms the veracity if every one of these claims.
Commenting for a friend.
Ding. Ding. Ding!
I’ve never heard that Fox ever mentioned it.
Ask any man whose wife has left him and wants full custody of the kids (so she and the boyfriend can move to another state) whether the definition of domestic violence is overbroad. My friends with sons are going through hell with these lying women.
