- This is wild conspiracy level denialism being published by an established newspaper…. We are in deeply disturbing times
- Replying to @BenjaminGogginHere’s a post from one mentioned in my piece wearing a cpac badge. In the next video, he’s giving a Nazi salute in the lobby of the conference hotel. There was a notable presence at the conference whether CPAC was aware of it or not.
00:00 - The AOC parody Twitter account was banned in 2019, but Musk brought it back and he and his boosters helped to make it go viral Now it shows up first when you search "AOC" on Twitter. From @kattenbarge and me
