(RepublicanDaily.org) – Former president Donald Trump delivered remarks at the Conservative Political Action Conference on March 4, sparking political debate.
Following his speech, media analysts claimed that Trump’s statements had hailed back to the “darkest moments” of his presidency, and warned that, in their view, Trump posed a threat to democracy, The Guardian wrote. Media analysts claimed that, while polls had shown that Trump’s popularity had diminished due to the events of the Capitol rioting on January 6, 2021, his alleged insurrection, and his reportedly “disappointing” midterm results, were proven wrong. Trump reportedly dominated the event, with the crowds chanting his name, and heckling Nikki Haley, the alternative candidate, Time magazine reported.
Trump spoke for 103 minutes, wherein he made bold proclamations about his candidacy. He reiterated his campaign promises from 2016 when he stated that he was “the voice” of his party. In CPAC, he claimed that he was the party’s “justice,” “warrior,” and “retribution,” The Washington Post reported.
The legacy media called the event “Trump’s CPAC” and analyzed that he dominated the conference, political commentators Damon Winter and Jane Coaston stated in an opinion published in The New York Times.
In the hours that followed, legacy media outlets fact-checked the former president’s remarks, as political analysts alleged that “pro-Trump” Twitter bots were “spreading propaganda” and attacking alternative candidate former South Carolina governor and United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley, and the anticipated alternative candidate incumbent Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Forbes reported.
The propaganda bots were said to be created over the last 11 months and numbered “thousands” and “perhaps hundreds of thousands” of fake Twitter accounts, the Associated Press reported. The bots were reportedly meant to give Donald Trump a stream of praise on the platform.
Media analysts accused the Republican party of “no longer being moderate” due to the list of candidates that were invited to the CPAC event, Esquire wrote.
