The vice chair of the Conservative Political Action Coalition has resigned from his longtime position on the organization’s board and is calling for investigations into the group’s top leader and its financial practices, among other issues.

Charlie Gerow, an attorney and communications executive who has served on the board of CPAC and its parent organization, the American Conservative Union, for nearly two decades, submitted his letter of resignation on Friday.

......

“The situation at CPAC has become such that I felt compelled to resign,” Gerow said when reached afterward.


Gerow’s resignation follows months of turbulence at the prominent conservative organization, where Chair Matt Schlapp earlier this year was sued by a former Herschel Walker Senate campaign staffer over allegations of sexual assault. Board member and treasurer Bob Beauprez resigned from his position in May, citing concerns over the organization’s financial reports, while Randy Neugebauer and Mike Rose also stepped down from the board earlier this year.

Just last week another board member, Timothy Ryan, also resigned, according to a person with knowledge of the organization’s operations. Ryan’s resignation has not previously been reported.

but an organized crime operation.

[LiberalFighter]

23. RICO them?

[wnylib]

34. They are no longer the GOP, or the Republican Party.

They morphed into the MAGA Party, and from that to the RICO Party.

[Chainfire]

6. Wait a minute, Is it illegal for Republicans to scam other Republicans?

The whole party is built on lies and cons, without which they have nothing at all.

7. Waiting to see the evangelicals decide to get back to doing her work

instead of spending the flocks' money on RW hucksters.

That would be a major improvement.

[LuvLoogie]

32. Tell it to blue-eyed Jesus.

[Trust_Reality]

39. Unfortunately, their work is evangelizing.

I would much prefer they mind their own business. They can believe whatever nonsense they wish, but they need to stop trying to own and control everyone else!

9. Schlapp used to be a regular on News channels

Often on MSNBC and CNN to give the right wing viewpoint.
Haven’t seen his smarmy face in about a year.

He was being told "don't put your hands on me" by Jason Johnson who was on the same MSNBC panel. Jason must have known something.

True story.

[GoodRaisin]

37. A regular liar.

I turned the TV off when he came on.

17. CPAC is morally and ethically reprehensible

Why don't they just move their headquarters to Hungary?

[Alexander Of Assyria]

[Martin68]

27. The civil war they keep talking bout is already happening in their own party. I'm not sure I can

tell the two sides apart. They're all assholes, grifters, cheats, and liars.

[Initech]

19. Well the last CPAC was basically just a glorified Trump rally in a fascist country.

You hang with assholes, you lose.

[mwb970]

20. It's like the NRA. They're all grifters.

[rubbersole]

21. He probably resigned because the money ran out.

Nothing left to grift.

[Wednesdays]

22. That's a shame.

[Martin68]

26. They do it to each other, too. They are a tribe of barbarians. The party of family values has no

values.

[NBachers]

28. Who's the last rat left, eating the bloody rotted corpses of all the others?

[BumRushDaShow]

29. I would love to see that whole org go

Every year, the media devotes endless hours of attention to this fraudulent bullshit group and all that does is amplify the GOP extremist message.

[CanonRay]

30. Grifters and con artists

[MythosMaster]

31. crap

[Crowman2009]

33. Not to mention they had a shit ton of conventions over the course of one year.

One of which was a super spreader event.

[cilla4progress]

[machoneman]

43. Karma's a bitch, ain't it! Christmas in August, I say.

[Deminpenn]

44. Gerow is a clown as we

Pennsylvanians know. He ran in the R primary for governor and was a non factor. He's a regular guest on PCN, our state's version of CSPAN usually spouting conservative nonsense.

[NowISeetheLight]

45. Hopefully

Hopefully they’ll find a lot of fraud, theft, embezzlement and other crimes. Drag them into the light and thru the mud.
