Rep. Mo Brooks — who told the crowd at the Jan. 6 rally to "start taking down names and kicking ass” — will be speaking on a panel titled: “Why Judges & Media Refused to Look at the Evidence”
Cleta Mitchell, a longtime conservative lawyer who was on the Jan. 2 phone call when Trump urged Georgia election officials to "find" enough votes to overturn the state's presidential results is also scheduled to speak at CPAC.

Several other CPAC speakers this year worked with the "Stop the Steal" group to protest the election results at events around the country, including political commentator Shemeka Michelle, conservative activist Scott Presler, and Rep. Paul Gosar.

David Bostic, who worked with "Stop the Steal," posted that he also plans to attend CPAC.

A close ally of Ali Alexander, Bostic downplayed the Capitol attack, tweeting, "If you're calling a couple hundred agitators entering the US Capitol a 'coup' then you are dumb."

CPAC will also feature a seven-part series of panels on "protecting elections," which includes "The Left Pulled the Strings, Covered It Up, and Even Admits It" and "Failed States (PA, GA, NV, oh my!)"

This whole idea that they're somehow the martyrs in this case is not going to age well.

Confessions and evidence will be collected as these seditionists crow about their bravery and righteousness.

We need to call out the oligarchs that are bankrolling this fraud. Their businesses must suffer consequences.
