Fun Fact about CPAC

One thing that NOBODY has mentioned about this year's CPAC convention - it was NOT held in Washington DC. It was held at National Harbor, which is a large conference center built on the shores of the Potomac River in Prince Georges County, Maryland. PG County is a minority-majority county, and is one of the most reliably blue counties in Maryland. National Harbor is built on the grounds of a former plantation that burned down in 1981.

So... irony much? All of these rich wingnuts are coming to PG County to bash the very people who are serving them, cleaning their rooms, and cooking their food. Reminds me of "The Help".
