Part of a string of tasteless jokes.

Charlie Kirk of Turning Points USA in his remarks aimed squarely at fighting the control of Big Tech on society called for a complete refusal of donations to GOP candidates from Silicon Valley.

He added that there are two governments in America, the government in Washington and the government in Menlo Park.

Matt Gaetz decries treatment of Ted Cruz by the media for going to Mexico and spending his own money and ignoring caravans coming through Mexico — completely ignoring the plight of Americans in Texas left without power and water.

Florida congressman Matt Gaetz used his remarks at CPAC to fire at multiple targets from Liz Cheney to Andrew Cuomo imploring the crowd to join his America First movement.

“Every day I’m a Florida man and it’s good to be home!” he declared after saying he was a marked man in Congress and banned from New Jersey.

Director and producer Robby Starbuck railed against Big Media in his remarks in the session “The Left’s Assault on a Free People” and took a shot at Joe Biden for remarks he made about speaking with China’s leadership.

Talkshow host Ben Ferguson told the crowd that conservatives on the brink of not being allowed to “exist” on the internet, which he says is bad because “they’ve already canceled us from everywhere else.”

Olivia Troye, a former adviser to former Vice President Mike Pence tweets: “A year ago I spent the days after @CPAC fielding calls in the #WhiteHouse from attendees reporting they had #COVID19-One of them could barely breathe or talk. When I see @tedcruz mocking masks today-I think about things like this & how dangerous/wreckless these people truly are.”

Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee is rallying the CPAC crowd to fight back against Big Media and Big Tech saying that Section 230 should be taken away and reserved for “little tech”.

She also complained that Trump was fact-checked.

“First, they decided they were going to fact-check him, the leader of the free world! Then they were going to block him — send a message... then they were going to permanently ban him... The leader of the free world.”

Former congressman and Fox News contributor Jason Chaffetz got a big round of applause for the line: “I’m from Utah, and I’m not Mitt Romney.”

Senator Mitt Romney, who once won four CPAC presidential straw polls, was one of the moderate Republicans who were disinvited from this year’s conference after voting in favour of the impeachment of Donald Trump.

Not a popular move with this crowd.

Mr Chaffetz continued: “But, if you’re looking for Mitt, just go down the hall and turn left. And then just keep going left. More and more left, and you’ll find him.”

Congressman Madison Cawthorn excited a small crowd with his remarks during a segment titled “The Real Cost of Tuition”.

He spoke about his opposition to student loan forgiveness — a major goal of Democratic progressives.
