They frantically cover up the fact they invited this asshole to their big shindig, along with Trump.
Featured CPAC speaker said Judaism is a complete lie and referred to Jewish people as thieving fake Jews
Update (2/22/21): CPAC has cancelled Young Pharaohs scheduled appearance following the publication of this article. Young Pharaohs information has also been removed from CPACs website. The theme of this years gathering is American Uncanceled.
Leading Republican officials are set to speak at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) this week along with a virulently anti-Semitic speaker named Young Pharaoh.
Young Pharaoh is an online commentator who has told followers that Judaism is a complete lie and made up for political gain, said that Jewish people are thieving fake Jews, tweeted that all the censorship & pedophilia on social media is being done by Israeli Jews, and claimed that all of these big tech [companies], media, & social media platforms are controlled by CCP & Israel through Jewish CEO & corrupt Democrats. Young Pharaoh has also attacked conservative commentator Ben Shapiro for being Jewish. Hes additionally promoted the QAnon and Pizzagate conspiracy theories and falsely claimed that coronavirus vaccines will alter your DNA.

Bit of an update: Not even a mention of this at FR.
I guess they really are ashamed of their screwup.

(7,281 posts)Yes, inflaming, excite their perverted base and rake it in.
I'm damn sure that's what this shit show is about. When I say sure, I mean I strongly intuit this to be true.

(7,281 posts)I'm thinking maybe we should frame our national responses accordingly.
I'm not sure exactly how at the moment, but something to think about promoting especially to the media.

Dude, my blackness has no alien DNA.
I also see what CPAC was doing here. By using a black conspiracy nut to attract more black conspiracy nuts and disenfranchised black folks who already have a mistrust of the government. It is so disgusting and sick.
I have seen this tactic by black charlatans claiming to be pro black - they do nothing but lead people astray and take their money in the process. Same thing being done here. This fool is taking a page out of the black charlatans with dangerous Qanon conspiracies and hate.

(5,123 posts)These guys are nothing but fraudsters. Some of them belong in prison. They prey on desperate disenfranchised black folks. Pretty much like sleazy mega church pastors. Some say the most outrageous things for clicks and making money online. This a fringe movement kinda like Qanon.
I don't know if he's being funded by anyone at this point, other than conning people. Perhaps if he had been able to speak at CPAC, they may have funded him to take advantage of his audience. But who knows, he has an audience so while they canceled him. They may fund him anyway. These guys are conmen and grifters. They would sell their mommas for a buck.
This is why the social media giants must clean up their act. They have made hate, disinformation, pseudo science and anti science profitable.
These guys rake in money for saying nonsense on social media. Sometimes its so outrageous, like black women are not supposed to have menstrual periods. Its a white thing apparently.

Because other than that, it all sounds pretty ordinary for Right Wingers.
