CPAC: To be or not to be alt-right. (It is.) – Daily Kos

Steve Bannon

This years CPAC roster includes Steve Bannon, Donald Trumps white supremacist aide who, as head of Breitbart News, bragged that We're the platform for the alt-right. It included Milo Yiannopoulos until he was booted for saying gross things about something other than women andnon-white peopleeverything Yiannopoulos said up to the moment he advocated for pedophilia was fine by CPAC. So this smells like an entire stockyard full of bulls:

The annual Conservative Political Action Conference began Thursday morning outside Washington, DC, with a strange denunciation of the movement by the executive director of the organization behind the event. In a speech titled "The Alt Right Ain't Right at All," American Conservative Union executive director Dan Schneider said that the alt-right isn't really a conservative movement at all. Instead, he said, "a hate-filled, left-wing fascist group hijacked the very term 'alt-right.'" Schneider called the alt-right anti-Semitic, racist, and sexist.

That CPAC would take the trouble of trying to distance itself from the alt-right shows that the brand has become toxicpeople noticed that alt-right translates to white supremacist. But saying thats not us while featuring Bannon and seven current Breitbart stafferson your program is really not even trying.
