It wasn't those nasty libruls this time, who were throwing threats at a homophobic National Review columnist who has written a book titled, Do-Gooders: How Liberals Hurt Those They Claim to Help (and the Rest of Us). She was booed by those attending for not only saying some mean words about the President, she also called out those who had supported Roy Moore, .

CPAC Speaker Needed Security Escort After Flagging Trump’s Sexual Misconduct

I’m disappointed in people on our side for being hypocrites about sexual harassers and abusers of women who are in our party, who are sitting in the White House, who brag about their extra-marital affairs, who brag about mistreating women. And because he happens to have an “R” after his name, we look the other way — we don’t complain. This is a party that was ready to endorse Roy Moore for the Senate in the state of Alabama even though he was a credibly accused child molester. You cannot claim that you stand for women and put up with that.

Boos and heckles from the crowd rose at the end of Charen’s comment, with one audience member shouting that what she was saying was “not true.”
(. . .)
According to Politico reporter Tim Alberta, after the panel, Charen had to be escorted out of the conference hall by security guards for her protection, though she later said she didn’t think that was necessary. Alberta described the weird scene in his writeup of the event for Politico Magazine on Sunday:

Waiting for Charen afterwards in a hallway inside the Gaylord National Resort, I was surprised to see her surrounded by three security officers. She was surprised, too. Charen told me the detail had suddenly appeared backstage, “seemingly nervous,” having been assigned to protect her on the way out.
(. . .)
Charen also wrote about her CPAC experience in New York Times op-ed on Sunday, pointing out that:

What happened to me at CPAC is the perfect illustration of the collective experience of a whole swath of conservatives since Donald Trump became the Republican nominee. We built and organized this party — but now we’re made to feel like interlopers.

She further explained how “the past two years have felt like a Twilight Zone episode” for traditional conservatives.

There is nothing more freeing than telling the truth. And it must be done, again and again, by those of us who refuse to be absorbed into this brainless, sinister, clownish thing called Trumpism, by those of us who refuse to overlook the fools, frauds and fascists attempting to glide along in his slipstream into respectability.
Looks like she really doesn't like the person now living in the White House. She's obviously not a 'real conservative', at least not one as defined by some folks these days. :roll:

So, someone, one from within their own ranks even, dared to speak truth to power and the CPAC folks proved they are the folks responsible for upholding such values as child rape, sexual assault & rape of women, adultery, etc., within the GOP.

Now I know why it's the Grand Ole Party ............ because they have a grande' ole ****ing problem ..........
