Showing Original Post only (View all)CPAC Imploding - CPAC vice chair resigns amid turmoil [View all]
https://www.politico.com/news/2023/08/25/cpac-vice-chair-resigns-amid-turmoil-00113078The vice chair of the Conservative Political Action Coalition has resigned from his longtime position on the organizations board and is calling for investigations into the groups 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.
Gerows 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 organizations 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 organizations operations. Ryans resignation has not previously been reported.

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