For years, the Conservative Political Action Conference has drawn conservative administration members, top think-tankers and lobbyists, a stream of presidential candidates, and the seditionist Donald Trump. In early times, it was a hub for somewhat nerdy corporate conservatism, but in recent years, under the guidance of American Conservative Union Chairman Matt Schlapp, the stage and the crowds moved farther and farther right, embracing conspiracy theorists, anti-democratic extremism, and an increasingly fascist agenda.
But CPAC is now in an existential crisis, reports The Washington Post. And naturally, it's Schlapp's fault.
