Attendees at this years Conservation Political Action Conference seem more lost than ever.

maybe i’m cynical, but this one caught me off guard.

While speaking from the CPAC stage Friday in Grapevine, Texas, American Conservative Union chairman Matt Schlapp asked a question he apparently thought would hype up the crowd.

“How many of you would like to see impeachment hearings?”

The crowd erupted in cheers.

interesting, and much to schlapp’s chagrin, because

“No,” Schlapp responded, shaking his head. “That was the wrong answer. Let me try it again. How many of you would like to see impeachment hearings?” he asked the crowd for a second time.

Again, he was met with cheers.

“NOOO!” Schlapp responded with a chuckle.

there’s a video, and it’s really worth a watch.

    Wow, I can’t believe CPAC hasn’t made the news. This is the first I’ve even heard of it this year, and I read way too much news.

    Good.

      Maybe they didn’t make the news this year because they managed to avoid huge Nazi symbols and refrained from calling themselves domestic terrorists?
