Matt Gaetz Suggests CPAC Is Beholden to Big Donors: There’s a ‘Whole Lot of Corporate America’ Represented, and They Like Having ‘Control’

By Reed Richardson Feb 25th, 2021, 5:28 pm

Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz (R) publicly called out the largest annual conservative conclave, CPAC, the day before it kicks off in Orlando, Florida, effectively accusing it of giving undue influence to corporate donors.

During an appearance on former White House strategist Steve Bannon’s War Room: Pandemic podcast with radio host pro-Trump John Fredericks, Gaetz took a direct shot at the many sponsorships that fund the high-profile right-wing conference.

Noting that some CPAC materials appeared to directly target the populist wing of the Republican Party, Gaetz wondered if a public battle between the MAGA and more establishment factions would play out during this year’s conference.

“Let’s be honest, there’s a whole lot of corporate America that gets represented at CPAC and they like having a little bit of control over the message and the messengers,” noted Gaetz, who is not in Florida for the event.

1. You'd think that CPAC would be nirvana for him.

Not wacko enough for him? Or because he's not the center of attention.

2. The GOP oligarchs must not be donating enough $$$ to him.
