CPAC is coming, and, as always, it's controversial. With every passing year, it seems to drift further and further away from the conservative center. And no, we're not counting that stupid manufactured outrage over the Nazi "Odal Rune" that the left lost their mind over.
So when CPAC proudly announced that Steve Bannon would be featured, that was all it took for right-wing Twitter to go to town on it. The town? Hilarioustown, USA!

Recall that Steve Bannon was key in getting Donald Trump elected in 2016. But he has always been a bit of a wildcard and is now catching heat for associations with Jeffrey Epstein.

Not mentions. Emails exchanged.

And Bannon was sending said emails right up until he died. https://t.co/r9rJJLLDYf
Anyway, with Bannon appearing at CPAC 2026, mockworthy meme merriment ensued.

This one would be good, actually.

This bought-off twit, however, would not be.

LOL! This is hilarious! (puts finger to earpiece). Oh wait. We apologize, that one is real.
