https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2021/02/22/young-pharaoh-cpac-drops-rapper-over-anti-semitic-tweets/4550686001/
WASHINGTON An upcoming conservative political conference featuring an appearance by ex-President Donald Trump pulled one its panelists Monday over anti-Semitic tweets.
"We have just learned that someone we invited to CPAC has expressed reprehensible views that have no home with our conference or our organization," said a tweeted statement from organizers of the annual Conservative Political Action Conference. "The individual will not be participating at our conference."
The speaker in question is identified as Young Pharaoh, a hip-hop artist and online commentator who has dabbled in conspiracy theories.
CPAC acted after Media Matters for America, a research organization that tracks conservative outlets, reported that, among other things, Young Pharaoh "has told followers that Judaism is a 'complete lie' and 'made up for political gain,'" and that "Jewish people are 'thieving fake Jews.'"
