Conservative website unleashes flood of ridicule on ‘safe space’ CPAC with brutal dismantling of Laura Ingraham, Charlie Kirk

CPAC has been making headlines this week for a number of things said on stage by Republicans at the annual confab, and one conservative site, whose editor-at-large is Bill Kristol, had a hilarious take Friday on the happenings inside the conference.

“CPAC is a magical place where college dropouts lecture college students, where millionaires beg for prayers for their success, where soda-bans are likened to the Red Purges,” wrote Molly Jong-Fast in the Bulwark on Friday. “We live in difficult times and even Conservatism Inc. needs a safe space,” she added on the conference.

Jong-Fast then went on to ruthlessly mock many of CPAC’s higher profile speakers, including Turning Point USA’s Charlie Kirk.

“Kirk is something of a paradox,” Jong-Fast wrote. “He’s a college dropout who travels the country trying to indoctrinate college kids into Trumpism, and after he’s lured them in, he seals the deal with ‘big government sucks’ t-shirts and a complete lack of self-awareness.”
