They welcomed NBC reporters, too, apparently. Should they not also be excluded for having a belief system totally opposed to that of the people organizing the conference?
Or is it possible to accept people as they are? The point of the convention ~is~ (Edit: should have been) to welcome all and say "These here are the things we believe, and why, and why we think these attitudes might work better for you"
- wahnfrieden 3y agoWhich NBC reporters were “finding allies” at CPAC? Which NBC reporters shared supposed contrary beliefs in dialog without “any perceptible resistance”?

- eesmith 3y agoCPAC is not there "to welcome all". From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservative_Political_Action_Conference https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservative_Political_Action_...: > Richard Spencer, a figurehead of the alt-right and a white supremacist, entered the lobby of the Gaylord National Hotel on February 23, 2017, in an attempt to access CPAC. Organizers of the conference ejected him from the hotel as soon as his presence was discovered, citing his "repugnant [views which] ... have absolutely nothing to do with conservatism or what we do here" as cause for rejecting his admission to CPAC. EDIT: as well as > In 2014, CPAC extended an invitation to American Atheists, which was immediately withdrawn on the same day due to controversial statements by AA's president David Silverman, who declared his group was going to "enlighten conservatives" and that "the Christian right should be threatened by us".[11]
- wahnfrieden 3y agoLooks like at least in this instance, ejecting self-proclaimed neo-nazis for their views, CPAC has changed its stance from 7 years ago and is now "welcome to nazis" (if not "all")
