Last month’s Conservative Political Action Conference revealed an obsession with conspiracy theories that undermine the public’s faith in our democratic process. Not only that, but the event highlighted and promoted those who supported former President Donald Trump’s false narrative that he won the 2020 election, which he again floated repeatedly in his speech on Sunday. Absent were those who drew a line in the sand and put the U.S. Constitution before partisan politics, such as Rep. Dan Crenshaw, Sen. Tim Scott, Gov. Doug Ducey, Gov. Brian Kemp, former Ambassador Nikki Haley, and Sen. Marco Rubio.

Over the course of the four-day event, CPAC held seven sessions on “election integrity.” Every one of these sessions existed to push the false and widely debunked claim that the 2020 election was stolen from the former president. This is dangerous.
