Evan James at Big League Politics reports:
The second annual America First
Political Action Conference (AFPAC) took place Friday night in Orlando,
Florida, the same city where CPAC has been holding its own conference.
The speakers at AFPAC included
political commentator Vincent James, reporter Jon Miller, bestselling author
and columnist Michelle Malkin, former congressman Steve King, sitting
congressman Rep. Paul Gosar, and political commentator and activist Nick
Fuentes.
AFPAC is a conference specifically
for the dissident wing of conservative politics known as the America First
movement. The movement held its first political action conference last year in
Washington DC as an invitation only event, but this year’s event opened to the
public and sold tickets on a first-come, first-served basis.
. . .
The evening’s third speaker was
Michelle Malkin. Continuing the tradition of building her major political
speeches on a work of poetry, Malkin on this occasion chose William Ernest
Henley’s poem “Invictus.” Per
usual she delivered a fiery speech that pulled no punches. She tore into
globalist “conservatives” like Matt and Mercedes Schlapp, lobbyists and
organizers of CPAC, and she ridiculed the recent attempts by the GOP establishment
to coopt the term “America First.”
. . .
All of the speeches from AFPAC II
can be watched in their entirety below [at the link below]:
Full report here. President Trump made it clear in his CPAC speech that he
does not intend to launch a third party;
he is trying to drag the GOP back to the right. CPAC vs. America First PAC is the debate of
the day: many conservatives are not
optimistic that the GOPe can be reformed from within. Meantime, I have bookmarked Vincent James’ website TheRed Elephants.
