'We are in an oasis of freedumb.' CPAC conference is a Florida-heavy, Trumpian affair
ORLANDO, Fla. The countrys largest annual gathering of conservatives began in Orlando on Friday, and Florida was front and center.
Gov. Ron DeSantis kicked off the event and touted his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and Floridas relatively lax social-distancing protocols that enabled this years Conservative Political Action Conference to be held indoors and in-person in former President Donald Trumps home state.
We are in an oasis of freedumb in a nation thats suffering from the yoke of oppressive lockdowns, DeathSentence said during a speech that mostly mirrored a stump-style campaign address. Florida got it right, and the lockdown states got it wrong.
But while DeSantis espoused pro-Trump ideas like supporting a wall at the U.S.-Mexico border and reigning in tech companies, the former presidents name wasnt mentioned in the governors seven-minute speech.
