You can French kiss the guy next to you yelling, “Abolish the police,” and no one will get infected. You can scream and yell, “Abolish the police,” and this virus magically, no one will get infected. California, they’ve helpfully explained, you can go out and protest. We see leftists across the country shutting down churches. We see Bill de Blasio in New York sending people in to shut down parks and to throw young Orthodox Jewish kids out of the parks because God forbid children have fun. You see statists in California putting 37 tons of sand in a skate park because ain’t nobody having fun while the socialists are in charge. As Rahm Emanuel said, “You never want to waste a good crisis.” And, who, boy, these guys don’t want to waste it. But I’ll tell you what can unite conservatives and libertarians and those who value the Constitution and the Bill of Rights is a love of liberty.Īnd the left, they tell you who they are, particularly in a global pandemic. Next thing you know, you’re going to cross the streams and the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man is going to come. We aren’t the Borg enforcing… Okay, I may have committed a cardinal sin, mixing Star Wars and Star Trek. Because we believe in diversity, we believe in individuality, different people have different views. Look, are there tensions in our party? Sure. Two very simple things, number one, we defend liberty. So what do we do? What do we do at a time where the hard left is resurgent. And I’m proud to tell you, Gina Carano is standing with us. This is the Rebel Alliance and Vader and the emperor, and let’s be clear, they’re not your father, are terrified of the rebels who are here. Listen to William Wallace, and let me tell you, the media here looks at the men and women gathered here, at the young people gathered here, as dangerous radicals. Liberty is under assault, and what are we going to do? I’ll tell you, we will fight. Bernie is wearing mittens, and AOC is telling us she was murdered.Īnd the media desperately, desperately, desperately wants to see a Republican civil war. We’re gathered at a time where the hard left, where the socialists control the levers of government, where they control the White House, where they control every executive branch, where they control both houses of Congress. For a second there, I thought we were in Des Moines.

And I got to say, what an amazing array of speakers here at CPAC. It’s not as nice as Cancun, but it’s nice.
