Washed Up 45 is speaking at the 2022 CPAC event in Orlando, Florida. He along with a hodge podge of white nationalists and enablers of color will gather at this luxury hotel to preach conspiracy theories and bullshit.

As Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene and Rep Paul Gosar speak at this white supremacist, anti-Semitic, pro-Putin event, silence by Republican Party leaders is deafening and enabling.

All Americans should renounce this garbage and reject the Putin wing of the GOP now. pic.twitter.com/6fgpV6ohZ8
Wow. Marjorie Taylor Greene with the holocaust-denying antisemitic racist Nick Fuentes. The ads pretty much write themselves.

How did Marjorie Taylor Greene know many of the AFPAC attendees had been “canceled” off social media if she had no clue this was a white nationalist conference? pic.twitter.com/cHpzkCfqax

- I don’t know Nick Fuentes, never heard him speak, never seen a video
- I went to his event last night to address his very large following about America First
- Vladimir Putin invading Ukraine is all Joe Biden’s fault
Lol what?

I talked about God and Liberty.

I’m also not going to turn down the opportunity to speak to 1,200 young America First patriots because of a few off-color remarks by another speaker, even if I find those remarks unsavory.

I want to embrace the young, boisterous and energetic conservatives in our movement—not cancel them like the establishment does.

The white nationalist lawmaker appears among her kind. Her kind of people.
Greene on Saturday defended her decision to speak at an event organized by alt-right figure Karen Fuentes, claiming she didn't know anything about him or his views when she decided to speak there on Friday.
The GOP lawmaker on Friday night made a surprise appearance at a far-right conference organized by Fuentes, who is known for statements questioning the existence of the Holocaust, criticizing interracial marriage, and praising Jim Crow-era segregation.
"Well, hello canceled Americans," Greene said at the event, called the American First Political Action Conference, according to a video of her remarks.
She told attendees she was "thrilled to be here tonight and I'll tell you why, I think I need to talk to you about who I am, what I see as the future of our country, and the future for all of you."
In a video posted by CBS News reporter Robert Costa, Greene at CPAC on Saturday addressed and defended her appearance Saturday.

"I have got to get to the airport, but I'm glad to talk to you about this," she said, adding: "I do not know Nick Fuentes. I've never heard him speak. I've never seen a video. I don't know what his views are, so I'm not aligned with anything that may be controversial."
Greene said she went to the event to "address his very large following," which she called "very young."
"It's a generation I'm extremely concerned about it," she said, adding that she wanted to talk about "America First policies" and what's "important for our country going forward.
Greene quickly pivoted, saying she rebuked the actions of Russian President Vladimir Putin in his unprovoked attack this week on Ukraine and criticizing President Joe Biden, calling him "weak" and blaming the unrest in Ukraine on his leadership.
Greene appeared flustered when the reporter pushed back on Fuentes, asking if she endorsed his views.
"I don't know what his views are," the conservative lawmaker said.
"He's a white nationalist," the reporter responded.
As Insider previously reported, the Anti-Defamation League previously deemed Fuentes a "well-known white supremacist pundit and organizer."
"I do not endorse those views," Green said on Saturday. "The reason why I went was to talk to the audience. Just like I've talked to many different audiences. I've talked to Democratic union workers earlier this week. I talked here at CPAC. I talked to his people who were there.
She added: "It wasn't an alignment. It was to talk about getting everyone together to save our country," she said before she left and refused to answer further questions.
