“Heron Greenesmith, a researcher at Political Research Associates, told Right Wing Watch Saturday that ‘CPAC is showcasing the truth of the right.’ ‘Trans people have become, once again, the recruitment tactic and fundraiser of the right,’ Greenesmith said. ‘Trans-supportive conservatives have ceded the floor to those who advocate openly for anti-trans violence.’”
At CPAC, held this past weekend at the Gaylord National Resort and Conference Center in National Harbor, Maryland, trans bashing—and talking about kids’ genitals—was a main theme.
