Right-wing CPAC's few attendees voice bizarre excuses for Trump: 'My head is spinning'

“There's a lot of sparkles and bedazzles. You see a lot of red, white and blue here at CPAC. I got to tell you, there's a lot of empty space. I would have expected more people to be here. But everything that I hear, a lot of it is because President Trump is not expected to be here.”

“Chris, I got to tell you, I've spoken to a lot of people today and my head is still spinning a little bit because I asked people a lot of questions, and what I was receiving was an alternative reality,” she continued.


“I asked, for example, about the Fox News poll that you just mentioned showing President Trump's disapproval rating, and people said that they didn't believe it. And I said, ‘Wait, but this is Fox News. You don't believe the Fox News poll?’ They didn't believe that. I asked him about gas prices. And they say that they don't blame President Trump. They say that it was worse under President Biden. And I said, ‘Wait, but the president decided to attack Iran. That restricted supply. There's a whole supply and demand thing.’ They say, no, they don't blame him.”

“And then I asked them about Iran, and they said to me, multiple people, that that is America First. And I was trying to understand how that was America First. I said, ‘Wait, but he promised no forever wars. He promised no forever wars forever and ever.’ And they somehow explained that what President Trump is doing is best for America.”

if they don't toe the party line.

It's kinda sad to see people so lost to humanity.

Are the worst of the worst from deep inside the MAGA rabbit hole. Hence, the kooky answers.

Idiots cheering for impeachment probably thought either Biden or Obama was still President since that’s the last time they came out of their basements. And you thought measles was bad.
