CPAC is fed up with Trump's "bulls--t"

As Schlapp strolled the hallway behind CPAC’s main stage, he expressed his frustration to a CPAC attendee he recognized. Schlapp said Trump was “trying to run us over,” and did not want to take questions during his appearance.

“That’s bulls–t!” Schlapp exclaimed of Trump’s purported demands.

In a subsequent interview with the Examiner, Schlapp insisted CPAC had no personal animus toward Trump, but that he wanted to hold a fair conference.

“You can’t both say ‘I’m going to claim the Reagan mantle, I’m a Reagan conservative,’ and make this kind of a decision,” Schlapp said. “I think it’s unfortunate. We want him here. We have a lot of respect for him. He’s the front-runner in the race.”
