Matt Schlapp on 2020 CPAC Record Intensity: ‘We’ve Never Seen Anything like This’

“I think it is a reflection of two things: Number one, Donald Trump has given a huge swath of the country great hope that their country can regain its footing,” Schlapp said. “The other is that the ‘Squad’ and Bernie Sanders and others have instilled great fear in Americans that things they took for granted that were reflected in their country are now at serious risk. You could say that it’s both the fear of an America turning away from its soul and turning towards socialism in combination with great emotional connections to Donald Trump for fighting just as hard, and just as dirty, as the other side fights.”

Another major theme of CPAC this year is going to be a deep dive explanation and presentation of just how aggressive, calculating, and deliberate plotters against President Trump who have engaged in multiple failed coup attempts—culminating with the unsuccessful impeachment push late last year and early this year—are against him. Schlapp said that the left pursues such measures like impeachment because its policies have been exposed as failures, while Trump is succeeding.

“I think when the Democratic Party can’t make the argument that their policies would actually increase the take-home pay for average Americans—their policies have actually resulted in higher poverty, the ‘forgotten man and woman,’ losing jobs and the manufacturing base, as well as stagnant wages and take-home pay,” Schlapp said. “So they can’t make that class warfare argument like they usually so deceptively try to peddle, because the numbers are all on the side of the Trump economy. So they can’t make those arguments. They can’t make the argument they’re tough on China because they’ve been AWOL in the fight. So they are left with their Richard Nixon strategy, which is if you can’t beat a Republican on policy then call him a ‘crook,’ find a special counsel and live by the mantra ‘only Republicans go to prison.’”

Part of why CPAC is going to focus on this—with multiple panels and speeches and guests—is because, Schlapp said, the establishment media and Democrat filters have shaded the truth about these coup attempts. Schlapp said CPAC intends to cut through the clutter and explain things factually and clearly so the public can see exactly how malicious these coup attempts against President Trump have really been.

“Yeah, I think the problem with what the Democrats have perpetrated since 2015 by colluding with the Deep State to do anything to stop Trump is that they have made it very confusing and complicated for Americans to figure out the skullduggery that’s been actually going on,” Schlapp said. “We’re going to walk carefully from 2015 through today through what actuality happened in the run-up to the 2016 election, who actually did the colluding with foreign powers, what actually went on with Ukraine, what was the Clinton campaign doing there and how were they colluding with a foreign power and how were they coordinating with the Obama administration in which she most recently served. Then you have the question with what happened with Spygate, and the Intelligence Committee. Who were the real liars? What did Mr. Brennan and Mr. Clapper do? Do we believe they committed [any crimes]? Walk through with real specificity giving it the time it needs with no commercial breaks to tell the story. If you read the book, you would think it would be a fiction book. But it’s non-fiction. We’re going to go through it chapter by chapter.”

What’s more, Schlapp added that a unique feature of CPAC this year is how unified Republicans and conservatives are behind President Trump going into the 2020 election. “In your lifetime or my lifetime, it’s just not been there,” Schlapp said of the newly developed GOP unity against the left—something that’s really come together in response to the coup attempt against Trump but has been building since Trump’s victory in the 2016 election.

“You know how they say ‘sometimes you have to hit rock bottom in order to deal with your problems?’ In order to make progress, sometimes in your own life you have to examine what you’re doing wrong and really fix it for good in order to prosper,” Schlapp said. “I think that the thing the left and the media didn’t understand when rifts among Republicans were exposed and there were chasms the size of the Grand Canyon, it seemed like the coalition was forever split and there wasn’t a way to pull it back. But the way to pull it back was to elect somebody the grassroots respects, and to elect somebody who stands for something the grassroots had been calling for for decades. In so doing, that leader named Donald Trump has actually united us in a way that we’ve never been united before—and the polling demonstrates that.”
