The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) ended its third day after speeches by several political heavyweights.
Senator Marco Rubio, R-Fla., Withdrew from the day’s events, citing an “unexpected family problem”.
Here are four main moments of the day’s events:
Pompeo says China was ‘smiling’ when the US rejoined the Paris Climate Agreement
“The Paris Agreement was a fantasy for elite diplomats who just wanted to signal virtues,” said former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. “When President Biden returned to this business, I can say that Xi Jinping was smiling every minute.”
“Since the last time I saw them, the Chinese have sanctioned me,” former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told the crowd. “Iranians don’t think much of me either.” China has imposed sanctions on Trump administration officials for calling China’s actions against Uighurs and Muslim minorities in the Xinjiang region “genocide.”
“The Biden team appears to be returning to appease Iran. This will be a disaster for the United States of America and a disaster for the region as well.”
Boebert says Democrats are ‘the party of the no’
Republican Representative Lauren Boebert said that while the Republican Party gains a reputation as a “no party,” it is actually the Democrats who personify the word.
“Republicans are called the no party, but we are saying no to all of your no. They don’t want you to be able to protect yourself, they don’t want you to have freedom of speech, they don’t want you to have freedom of religion. .. they are the party of the no. We are saying no, we are saying a big ‘hell, no’ to all of your noes “, the impetuous freshman legislator and gun rights activist told the crowd.
McCarthy predicts that the GOP will have a majority in 2022
“It is not a chance, we will have the majority back. We are five places away,” McCarthy said on Saturday during a CPAC panel.
“I would bet my house … don’t tell my wife, but I would bet,” he said.
“This is the smallest majority that Democrats have had in 100 years,” said McCarthy. Republicans won 12 seats in the 2020 election, and FiveThirtyEight predicted that they are “on track” to retake the House in the next election.
Noem beats fauci
South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, the star of Saturday’s event, said Dr. Anthony Fauci, the country’s leading infectious disease specialist, was “very wrong”.
NOEM BATIDA FAUCI, HIRE YOUR COVIDA HANDLING WITH CUOMO
“I don’t know if you agree with me, but Dr. Fauci is very wrong.” she said. Noem was the only governor who never closed deals to contain Covid-19. She said Fauci predicted that her condition would be much worse.
“In South Dakota, I provided all the information we had to our people and I trusted to make the best decisions for themselves [on how to prevent the spread of the virus] for their families and, in turn, their communities, “she said.
“We never focused on case numbers. Instead, we kept an eye on the hospital’s capacity. Now, Dr. Fauci, he told me that on my worst day I would have ten thousand patients in the hospital on our worst day, we had a little more than six hundred. “

Noem remembers being routinely criticized by the press and some Democrats as “misinformed, reckless and even a ‘denier’.” 19 – this is a lie, “she said.
