Matt Schlapp, president of the Conservative Political Action Coalition, which will hold its annual confab outside Washington beginning Wednesday, said he’s been hounded by certain news media members since an anonymous GOP aide accused him of unwelcome overtures.
Matt Schlapp, president of the Conservative Political Action Coalition that will hold its annual confab outside Washington beginning Wednesday, said he’s been hounded by certain news media members since an anonymous GOP aide accused him of unwelcome sexual overtures.
He said the drama and intrigue spurred by the lawsuit, however, will not eclipse the CPAC conference, which will be the most influential gathering of party conservatives ahead of the 2024 presidential primaries. “We’re not going to treat real journalists in the same way as the pseudo-journalists,” said Mr. Schlapp, 55. He did not detail which outlets might fall into the latter category.
Those candidates include former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and biotech tycoon Vivek Ramaswamy, each of whom plans to attend and speak at the conference. Other outlets reported the story and Mr. Schlapp, who denies the claims, said he’s been hounded unfairly by the press.
The CPAC convention, which Mr. Schlapp has presided over since 2014, has increasingly become a target of unfair reporting by left-wing outlets, he said.“They do not want CPAC to continue to go on,” Mr. Schlapp said.
