CPAC Is Rocked by a Resignation

A top leader in the organization that puts on CPAC, the highly influential conference of conservative leaders, resigned on Tuesday night, citing financial mysteries surrounding the organization’s leader,” New York Magazine reports.

“Bob Beauprez, the longtime treasurer of the American Conservative Union, said that he was not fully informed about money being paid for chairman Matt Schlapp’s legal defense against a lawsuit accusing him of sexual assault.”

Said Beauprez: “I cannot deliver a financial report at the upcoming board meeting with any confidence in the accuracy of the numbers.”

Assholes are always perverts, and when they are exposed they get suckers to pay their legal bills.
