CPAC’s Matt Schlapp is being sued for allegedly groping a former male staffer working at Herschel Walker’s campaign, and now is facing more hurdles to his leadership after accusations of a toxic work place, and mismanagement come to the surface.
The Washington Post interviewed dozens of former CPAC employees who have admitted to a “wide range” of issues about Schlapp’s leadership and where the organization is headed.
Schlapp was a frequent guest on all the cable TV news networks for years helping Trump and the MAGA cult and promoting every baseless election fraud lie that Rudy Giuliani spit out of his shoe-polish leaden head, which contributed to the January 6 insurrection at the US Capitol.
WaPo is reporting that more than half of its staff since 2021 has left the group, as a former employee plans to sue “over claims that she was fired in retaliation for complaining about a co-worker’s sexist and racist comments.”
“The culture was toxic,” said the former communication director, Regina Bratton, in an interview. “From my perspective, he acted like a bully.”
Many Republicans and high-ranked Fox News personalities have passed on attending and speaking this year at CPAC, while Fox Nation will not stream the event this year.
CPAC has become a hotbed of the MAGA cult: Trump will be the headliner, of course.
CPAC announced their list of speakers:
Nikki Haley, Mike Pompeo, Ted Cruz, Elise Stefanik, and Rick Scott will join far-right wackos like JD Vance, and Matt Gaetz, Kari Lake, Marjorie Taylor Greene and the former right-wing strongman president of Brazil Jair Bolsonaro.
Also on the slate of speakers are many Freedom Caucus nutjobs, including House Freedom Caucus chair Scott Perry (Pa.), Lauren Boebert (Colo.), Byron Donalds (Fla.), Matt Gaetz (Fla.) and Ralph Norman (S.C.) James Comer (Ky.) and Jim Jordan (Ohio).
The likes of Seb Gorka and Candace Owens and cretins from Newsmax will be highlighted.
And, of course, Tucker Carlson’s new darling “former Democrat,” Tulsi Gabbard.
