CPAC: Donald Trump spins tales of rigged election, papers over Jan. 6 riot, hints at 2024 comeback
45th president’s mention of taking back White House thrills conservatives at Dallas confab.

Jul 12 - ...​Estimates put the crowd that day at no more than 50,000, not over a million. Of those, several thousand lay siege to the Capitol, bashing in windows and doors, attacking police with flagpoles, bike racks, hockey sticks and pepper spray and sending lawmakers into hiding for hours.

Trump topped the CPAC straw poll for the 2024 GOP nomination, besting Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis 70-21. If Trump opts not to run, DeSantis would be the top pick for 68% of attendees.

Trump’s approval rating: 98%. Biden’s disapproval rating, for comparison: 97%.
“We have a much different party than we had five years ago,” said Trump, who snubbed CPAC in March 2016, when conservative activists were clamoring for anyone but him as the GOP nominee.

Introducing Trump, the chair of the American Conservative Union, Matt Schlapp, called him “the biggest impact player in our movement.” Despite efforts by social media giants to “cancel” him – prompting a class action lawsuit by Trump against Facebook, Twitter and Google that the American Conservative Union joined – “he simply won’t give in and be quiet,” Schlapp said...     quoted from
Conservative Political Action Conference

In 2020, CPAC hosted its main event during the COVID-19 pandemic despite the public health risks. On Saturday, March 7, 2020, ACU confirmed that an attendee at the 2020 CPAC later tested positive for COVID-19. Senator Ted Cruz, Representatives Matt GaetzPaul GosarDoug Collins, and Mark Meadows had direct contact with the unnamed carrier, and announced their self-quarantine.[25][26]

In 2021, CPAC hosted its main event during the COVID-19 pandemic despite the public health risks. The previous customary venue for CPAC, (Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center) in National Harbor, Maryland was subject to public health restrictions in Maryland, issued by Republican Governor Larry Hogan, which restricted gathering sizes to a maximum of 10, to curb the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.[27][28]

​As a result, the conference was relocated to Orlando, Florida,[28] which had removed all prior pandemic-related limits on gathering sizes.[29] The event was still subject to Orlando mandatory mask-wearing rules. Notwithstanding those restrictions, numerous attendees chose to not wear masks during the event, despite frequent announcements by the event's organizers and hotel staff, requesting attendees to comply with the local mask-wearing mandate.[30] Florida Governor Ron DeSantis characterized the state's resistance to pandemic gathering-size limits as comporting with the state's status as "an oasis of freedom."[30] The conference's theme, "America Uncancelled", sought to highlight alleged attempts by social media companies, the Democratic Party, U.S. universities and progressive organizations to censor conservatives' public expression of their political views. The conference's main event was a closing address by former U.S. President Donald Trump, his first public address and political speech since leaving office. Trump spent significant portions of the speech criticizing his successor, Joe Biden. The speech received significant media coverage in anticipation of Trump's announcement of his post-presidential political activity.

A second 2021 conference was held in Dallas, Texas from July 9–11, 2021 at the Hilton Anatole hotel.[31] The theme of the conference was immigration policy and border security, in the context of the ongoing migrant crisis at the U.S. Southern Border. Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Trump are scheduled to address the conference on its final day.        quoted from Wikipedia
Trump wins the CPAC straw poll as attendees clamor for him to run again

Jul 12 - Former President Donald Trump bathed in the adulation of an adoring crowd at the Conservative Political Action Conference Sunday as he easily won the informal straw poll of attendees when they were asked who they'd like to see run for the White House in 2024.

The political gathering normally serves as an audition for Republican presidential contenders, but the three-day session was yet another example of how Trump has effectively frozen the field more than three years before the next election as he teases another possible run.

​Trump accused big tech companies of skewing the votes in the 2020 election through censorship and he chided the press for stating that there is no widespread evidence of voter fraud. He accused the "radical left" of cheating and called the 2020 election "a disgrace to our nation.""We are truly being scorned and disrespected all over the world. Never forget that the radical left is not the majority in this country. We are the majority and it's not even close," Trump said as the crowd cheered and chanted "USA! USA! USA!"Trump once again teased a 2024 run on Sunday: "I could have a nice, beautiful life and here I am on a Sunday in Texas." The crowd began to chant "Four more years! Four more years"...     more

Explicit condemnation of attacking civilians and public installations. Accepting Tehran initiative as a permanent process to establish peace.
