Karine Jean-Pierre Says Washington, D.C. Is "Not A City"

CPACtrophy

 

CPAC2023 was noticeably smaller than CPAC has been in previous years, with a half empty ballroom at the Gaylord National Resort on the shores of the Potomac in Oxon Hill, Maryland. It’s CPACtrophy.

In 2010, one of the last years CPAC was held in Washington, D.C. at the Woodley Park Marriott, 2,300 registrants voted in the CPAC presidential straw poll. CPAC’s registration kept growing, its stated reason for moving out to the Gaylord, where 3,000 registrants voted in the straw poll in 2015. After spending a few Covid lockdown years in Florida, CPAC is back at the Gaylord on the Potomac Waterfront this year.

Thanks for reading The Insurrection! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work.

This year only 2,028 people took the straw poll. This is only a proxy for registration as some people may not have voted. But it is only two thirds of the number who voted in 2015.

There are fewer workshops and panels outside the main hall, and the main Potomac Ballroom is noticeably half empty, until Donald Trump gave the final speech on Saturday evening. Then 90% of the seats were full, but it was not standing room only.

A reporter acquaintance asked me about the low attendance and whether I thought it was due to the "Schlapp scandal."  I did not see this, but according to her Washington Times article CPAC chairman Matt Schlapp was chased through the halls Thursday morning by reporters asking him about a $9 million lawsuit against him for a sexual assault.

I don’t think this is why CPAC is smaller, but CPAC does seem to have a case of paranoia. Media this year seems carefully curated. I was, without being informed about it, for the first time denied a media credential - I usually just apply as a freelancer. As usual (I’ve been going to CPAC since 2007) I’d also bought a regular ticket, and at one point security searched me out and detained me in the exhibit hall, went through my possessions, physically took off my lanyard and conference badge, because being denied a media credential this year put me on a “banned” list, not illegible to even purchase admission. Security marched me back to registration where I had to ask a registration desk troubleshooter to call her supervisor, who called the CPAC general counsel, until apologies were made, my badge was returned - and best of all my ticket price was refunded. I went for free.

CPAC is something of a mom and pop company - mom and pop multinational, since there are now CPAC annual conferences in a growing list of countries including Brazil, Hungary, and Japan - under husband and wife team Matt and Mercedes Schlapp. Mr. Schlapp, who has several children, is being sued by a man who was a Herschel Walker campaign staffer assigned to drive Schlapp when he spoke at last year's Walker campaign events.  The anonymous accuser says an inebriated Schlapp aggressively groped him.  The accuser also said that he would reveal his identity if Schlapp denied the charges.  Schlapp has denied the charges and the accuser has not given up his anonymity leading many to think the charges are spurious and the accuser is simply seeking an out of court settlement. Matt Schlapp did not appear on stage much this year; Mercedes introduced speakers several times a day.

I don’t think this is why CPAC is smaller. Most people who are here are Trump loyalists, and I imagine they discount stories about Schlapp groping a man as they would stories about Trump grabbing a woman, as mainstream media lies.

What CPAC is mainly missing this year are the throngs of college students who used to register so they could vote in the straw poll for Ron Paul (who won the 2010 poll) and for Rand Paul (who won the 2015 poll), helped out by generous subsidies for their tickets and hotel rooms by Ron Paul groups like Young Americans for Liberty and the Campaign for Liberty. Forty-seven percent of the straw poll voters in 2015 were between the ages of 18 and 25.

There are no Ron Paul or Rand Paul related booths in the exhibit, and no related speakers. There are no libertarian booths of any stripe, from the Ayn Rand Institute to reason magazine, who have often been here in the past.

One irony of CPAC this year is the “early voting” on the straw poll. Trump volunteers were out encouraging people to vote (all online, using the ID number or QR code on your badge) well before Nikki Haley or Vivek Ramaswamy spoke. (Leaving the hall after Ramaswamy’s speech an older gentleman told me he liked what Ramaswamy had said, but had never heard of him before.) (Daily Wire commentator Michael Knowles joked that he was the only speaker at CPAC not running for President, because he is not yet old enough.) Matt Schlapp reappeared in the penultimate segment before Donald Trump’s speech, to announce the results of the straw poll. CPACers ranked their Vice Presidential choices as: Kari Lake (20%), Ron DeSantis (17%), Nikki Haley (10%). For President: Trump at 62% (4 points higher than he won in the last year’s straw poll), with DeSantis a distant second.

K.T. McFarland at CPAC

Another irony is that even though the libertarians are not here, their policies have triumphed. Many speakers opposed continuing involvement in the war in Ukraine and want Europeans to pay for NATO on their own. In the straw poll 79% of CPAC registrants opposed American involvement in Ukraine. Trump appointee, Kissinger staffer, and CPAC board member K.T. McFarland and others emphasized that deregulating American energy production would lower the price of fossil fuels and impoverish Russia reducing its ability to fund wars, and making U.S. military interventions almost unnecessary. Federalist editor Mollie Hemingway and many other speakers decried government censorship and surveillance and cooperation between the federal goverment and corporations to control Americans’ lives. Vivek Ramaswamy announced that his first action as President would be to abolish the Department of Education and his second act would be to abolish the FBI. A few people, including Ramaswamy, criticized free trade policies, but not globally or to protect American jobs, instead singling out not allowing trade and investment that enriches hostile totalitarian countries like China. The only aspects of the war on drugs discussed were China exporting lethal formulations of fentanyl to the U.S. or criminal cartels controlling the southern border. Seventy-four percent of CPACers in the straw poll prefered that states make laws regarding to abortion, and did not prefer a federal ban. Major speakers from Tulsi Gabbard to Donald Trump decried endless wars, profiteering war mongers, and intelligence agencies that fabricate narratives supporting war and evidence smearing those who oppose it.

Apparently, conservatives are all libertarians - or at least libertarian-leaning conservatives - now.

A version of this article was published at Bacon’s Rebellion.

Banned at CPAC

 

CPAC2023 is smaller than previous CPACs, with fewer breakout sessions or workshops parallel to what is happening on the main stage. Mainly missing are younger and libertarian-leaning attendees, though the remaining heavily Trump supporting registrants and those speaking to them seem to have adopted an America First version of the libertarian’s non-interventionist foreign policy, calling for an end to the Ukraine war with negotiated settlements, and for Europe to start paying for its own NATO defense.

The annual event started at the Woodley Park Marriot, a venue of faded elegance and rabbit warren rooms and hallways in Washington, D.C.  CPAC moved to the Gaylord National Resort down the Potomac River at Forest Heights, Maryland for larger quarters a decade ago, then moved to Florida during the Covid lockdowns, and is now back at the Gaylord in Maryland. 

Gaylord Resort Atrium

I have purchased a ticket almost every year since 2007 though some years I have also asked for and received a media credential.  One year when I was feeling in high cotton I bought a platinum ticket, which entitles one to perks like going to the VIP Reagan Dinner.  That year was a year Ron Paul was running in the GOP primaries.  As I walked to sit in the velvet-rope enclosed front row, in worn jeans with fashionable holes in them, and various “End the Fed",” anti-war, and Ron Paul buttons, an usher blocked my path - I could not belong in the VIP seating.  Then he saw my platinum lanyard and badge. "Right this way, sir."

I’ve organized both a Ron Paul booth and one for Gary Johnson.  My first time at CPAC I sat in the back of a workshop on "new media."  My slightly long hair and Armani Exchange casual wear provoked the moderator, conservative radio talker Larry O'Connor (then with Breitbart) to look at me and ask with amusement "Do we have a liberal spy here today?" 

The several times I was credentialed media I'd applied and simply said I wrote freelance for Breitbart, or the Federalist, or the Daily Caller, or even for my own blog (my blog that was actually attacked by Rachel Maddow and Chris Matthews on their MSNBC shows as well as by Jonathan Chait in New York magazine).

This year I applied for a media credential and sent samples of my more CPAC friendly writing in SpliceToday, a zany website owned by Russ Smith, a former New York journalist turned Baltimorean, who at one time owned the alternative City Papers in both Washington, D.C. and in Baltimore. Splice has a variety of writers, more libertarians and liberals than conservatives,  My own pieces in Splice are often somewhat philosophical reviews of TV shows or movies.  I also write about "gay topics" - Jussie Smollette and other gay miscreants, the Dave Chapelle tempest, "Bros," "Spoiler Alert," the "Sex and the City" revival, and that fantastic romantic gay episode of "The Last of Us."  I did not hear back from CPAC about my media credential this year, though that has happened in years past, and yet the media credential was there when I arrived.  This year as in many past I also bought a ticket for $295.  At registration I just picked up my paid ticket and didn't even try to find the media credential desk.  With a recently injured knee I decided not to wander up and down stairs and escalators and to just forgo using the media room, at least the first day. (Friends who are in the media room have since offered to bring me in with their media credentials if I need a desk.)

Thursday morning, before CPAC began, I was wandering the exhibit hall of booths and talking to groups like Hawaii Conservatives.org, Atheists for Liberty, or the Log Cabin Republicans.  When I had almost finished touring the hall, two large men in beige suits appeared and said "Bruce Majors?" One lifted my name tag to read it and he then removed my lanyard and name tag from my body, lifting it up and over my head, and grabbed my San Pellegrino bottle to see what it was.  They said I should come with them.  I asked what was up and one chuckled and said something like "You know why." I said I was going to need an explanation and my $295.  He said they were taking me to someone who would provide one.

Back at the registration desk where I’d been an hour before, a nice young woman who was a troubleshooter in the registration department said I had been denied a media credential, and anyone so denied was not allowed to buy a regular event ticket.  I asked to speak to her supervisor.  I told her I had been going to CPAC for 15 years.  She called her supervisor, and relayed that I was a long-term attendee who had had media credentials before, and they should look me up in their records.  Her supervisor then called the general counsel for CPAC.  The two Security men were joined by others as well as a Maryland State Trooper.  (State Troopers are usually at CPAC at the Gaylord National Resort, since Presidents and Congresspeople are often speakers, and many events have a lot of security.)   The troubleshooter ushered me into a side room, with all the security outside.  The General Counsel arrived.  Apologies ensued.  There was a new media team that still had some bugs, and they had made a mistake.  My lanyard and name tag were returned to me.  I shook various security people's hands (or fist bumped them) and their chief told me if it happened again (since I am still on a banned list that had already been distributed) to tell anyone who detains me to ask for "Keith."  (I've since had volunteers who worked in registration and also a State Trooper greet me and say they were glad I was back the next day and they were sorry this manhandling had occurred.)

The nice troubleshooter said she was giving me back my ticket but also refunding my $295.  Thankfully this all took less than an hour. 

But then later that day a reporter acquaintance interviewed me about the low attendance at this year's CPAC and whether I thought it was due to the "Schlapp scandal."  I did not see this, but according to her Washington Times article CPAC chairman Matt Schlapp was chased through the halls Thursday morning by reporters asking him about a lawsuit against him over a different kind of manhandling.  Schlapp, married to Mercedes Schlapp with whom he has several children, is being sued by a man who was a Herschel Walker campaign staffer assigned to drive Schlapp when he spoke at last year's Walker campaign events.  The anonymous accuser says Schlapp aggressively groped him.  The accuser also said that he would reveal his identity if Schlapp denied the charges.  Schlapp has denied the charges and the accuser has not given up his anonymity.  Does he just want to settle out of court for some portion of the $9 million he is suing for?  Or was he actually sexually assaulted?

Matt Schlapp at CPAC

I don't know the answer to that.  I don't think this scandal has affected CPAC.  Loyalists at CPAC I imagine believe all such groping charges - whether about Schlapp and a male campaign staffer or about Trump and women - are mainstream media lies.  (The only place I heard Schlapp discussed was at the Log Cabin booth, where a gay journalist from a New York paper had stopped by.)  What CPAC is mainly missing this year are the throngs of young people who used to register so they could vote in the annual CPAC presidential straw poll for Ron Paul (in 2007 and 2008) and for Rand Paul (in 2015 and 2016), helped out by generous subsidies for their tickets and hotel rooms by Ron Paul groups like Young Americans for Liberty and the Campaign for Liberty. There are no Ron Paul or Rand Paul related booths in the exhibit, and no related speakers. There are no libertarians of any stripe, from the Ayn Rand Institute to reason magazine, who have often been here in the past. (Reason actually once did a story on “gays at CPAC” using Grindr to count how many Grindr gays were within 100 feet of the main stage, and then interviewing gay attendees.)

I've since learned that other writers - like Mike LaChance from Legal Insurrection - who write for smaller center-right publications were denied media credentials. But I now wonder if this "new media department" with bugs, denied medial credentials to any applicants they did not know well, especially those who write for smaller publications.  If so apparently it didn't help, and Mr. Schlapp was still chased around the Gaylord Hotel.

The reduced numbers at CPAC, a Trump-concentrate, seem more worried about other issues. Nikki Haley could not get through her carefully constructed speech without some jeers of “RINO.” Vivek Ramaswamy had to address some choruses of “Trump, Trump, Trump!” from the crowd. Steve Bannon, in a pro-Trump stemwinder, assaulted Rupert Murdoch and FOX News for not covering Trump and not covering CPAC this year. As I drove away from the hotel listening to Bret Baier’s show simulcast on SiriusXM, some highlights of CPAC were covered. Though not Steve Bannon’s praise of Donald Trump, who spoke at the end of CPAC.

 Libertarians who passed away in 2022

 

Philip Harvey.  According to The Guardian  "American social entrepreneur Phil Harvey, who has died aged 83, made contraception affordable for hundreds of millions of people in the developing world with subsidies provided by the profits from Adam & Eve, the sex shop company he founded in 1970. A committed libertarian, Harvey also used his considerable resources to champion the right to sexual healthcare and free speech in the US.

While working in the Punjab in India in the 1960s for the charity Care International, Harvey became deeply uncomfortable about the way western countries distributed aid. A woman in a threadbare sari knelt before him in gratitude for the food he was doling out, and he became determined to find a way to give aid that did not humiliate recipients."

 

Harvey supported Libertarian Party candidates through the Purple PAC, a libertarian political action committee that supported Libertarians Robert Sarvis in the 2013 Virginia gubernatorial race and Gary Johnson in the 2016 Presidential race. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kathryn Serkes.  Kathryn was a much beloved small "l" libertarian who lived in Seattle, Washington and Washington, D.C. until her cancer diagnosis, when she retired to Colorado.  According to the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons  "Kathryn was a valiant leader among Americans concerned about the intrusion of government into the patient-doctor relationship.

AAPS first met her during the push for socialized medicine in the U.S. in the 1990s under the guise of HillaryCare. Kathryn’s countless hours researching and educating patients and medical professionals across the U.S. about the dangers of what was in the bill, and who was writing it behind the scenes, was undoubtedly instrumental in stopping this harmful legislation.

When ObamaCare was being debated, Kathryn was back on the frontlines defending American medicine organizing rallies and media outreach on a national level so that doctors and patients’ voices could be heard.

Kathryn had a deep love for our nation and its founding principles of liberty and spent the last several years leading grassroots initiatives to support President Donald Trump’s endeavors to Make America Great Again."

Kathryn was a regular at the Wednesday meeting of American for Tax Reform, whose attendees remember her fondly as a witty person of great humanity.
