Conservative group bombards Orlando with anti-Trump billboards during CPAC 2022

Fifteen months after Donald Trump was voted out of office, countless Republican entities from the Republican National Committee (RNC) to the Conservative Political Action Conference continue to promote unquestioning loyalty to the former president. And a decidedly MAGA lineup dominates CPAC 2022, which commenced in Orlando, Florida on Thursday, February 24 and continues through this Sunday, February 27. But an anti-Trump conservative group, the Republican Accountability Project (formerly Republican Voters Against Trump) is reminding CPAC 2022 attendees that not all conservatives are Trump loyalists.
In Orlando, RAP has paid for more than 100 anti-MAGA billboards during CPAC 2022. One of them shows an Arizona-based Republican voter named Nancy, who is quoted as saying, Im disgusted by todays GOP. No integrity. Its all about power. And in another RAP billboard, a Colorado-based ex-Republican, also named Nancy, complains, I dont recognize todays GOP. Reagan wouldnt either.

In an official statement on its website, RAP said, Making excuses for the January 6 insurrection has become commonplace. The lies about the 2020 election grow louder every day. MAGA candidates are falling over themselves to prove how Trump-loyal and Trump-like they are, and theyre driving away key parts of their base in the process. We will be running over 100 billboards in Orlando, FL, throughout this years CPAC conference.
