There’s been a change to the CPAC 2021 lineup:
We have just learned that someone we invited to CPAC has expressed reprehensible views that have no home with our conference or our organization. The individual will not be participating at our conference.

Ladies and gentlemen, we regret to inform you that Young Pharaoh will no longer be a featured guest at CPAC. If you’ve never heard of him, well, you’ve been missing out.
This week's CPAC is featuring a speaker named Young Pharaoh. In the past year, he's claimed that: 1) Judaism is a “complete lie”; 2) Jewish people are "thieving"; 3) and “all the censorship & pedophilia on social media is being done by Israeli Jews.” https://t.co/km1UFzl1IQ

And in case you’re wondering, this is not another Media Matters hit job. Young Pharaoh is, well, genuinely problematic.

Doesn’t he, though?
First they came for Young Pharaoh, and I said nothing, because holy shit look at his tweets this guy is a lunatic. pic.twitter.com/43P0q6pQ7t

How did this person get invited in the first place? https://t.co/7pOl6U4zh7

Seems like a reasonable question to ask.
Anyway, needless to say, Young Pharaoh is pretty upset about getting the welcome mat pulled out from under him:

Maybe he can launch PharaohFest or something. Is David Duke free?
Meanwhile:
I would like to speak at CPAC on the topic of selecting speakers for CPAC.
