CPAC attendees boo, yell 'freedom' when asked to wear masks

Boos could be heard Friday when organizers of the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Orlando asked attendees to wear their masks to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

Loud boos and cheers for "Freedom" were heard echoing throughout the room as American Conservative Union Executive Director Dan Schneider and CPAC director Carly Patrick asked for attendees to adhere to the coronavirus restrictions put in place by Hyatt Regency Orlando, where the event is being held this year.

"A private hotel, just like your house, gets to set its own rules," Schneider told the crowd.

"We are in a private facility and we do want to be respectful of the ordinances they have, as they're a private property. So please, everyone, when you're in the ballroom, when you're seated you should still be wearing a mask." Patrick said. "So if everyone can go ahead and work on that. I know it's not the most fun."

1. What a bunch of

worthless people!

[JohnnyRingo]

28. Children comes to mind.

"If I have to pick up my toys, I'll hold my breath until I get my way".

[underpants]

2. "Go ahead and work on that"

[piddyprints]

3. So can we just lock the doors

and make them all stay there together in quarantine for 2 weeks? No access to medical care, no outside contact, etc? Let them infect each other and drown in their own ignorance?

[Vinca]

4. Wonder if they'll turn down the ventilator, too.

[BumRushDaShow]

5. Super-spreader event coming up!

[Sane1]

6. ABORTIONISTS!!!!

[SergeStorms]

7. Alright, get the Corona virus and die then.

Doesn't bother me a bit. The innocent people you'll infect bothers me though. Assholes.

[Journeyman]

8. You would think, people so paranoid they believe the Left would stage an insurrection . . .

to overturn the results of an election the Left won, would also consider the possibility that the Left might send "suicide Covid bombers" into their midst to infect them all. In this scenario, masks would be the equivalent of their guns, the means by which they would thwart the nefarious plot against them.

Or maybe they're just thicker than a brick.

[Sibelius Fan]

9. RWers in general are the very definition of elitists.

[keithbvadu2]

10. Does this give CPAC legal cover for future lawsuits?

Does this give CPAC legal cover for future lawsuits?

Wonder if the attendees had to sign a waiver?

[twodogsbarking]

11. I remember Jim Jones

and this is similar. Who needs Kool Aid.

[Evolve Dammit]

12. Maybe the fever pitch after Don the Con speaks will result in them trashing the place? Burn!!!

[IronLionZion]

13. Breathe deep and mingle with everyone

Get in real close and chat loudly for a long time about owning the libs.

These assholes probably bought their way to the front of the vaccine line anyway.

[DBoon]

29. and cough a few times. It will clear out your lungs ...

... and allow you to breathe the clear fresh air of conservatism

[Texin]

14. Well, with any luck, maybe the CPAC attendees will all infect themselves with Covid-19

and we'll be rid of them before too long.

[lapfog_1]

15. maybe we can find one person who has contracted

at least 3 or 4 variants of SARS-Cov-2 and toss their ass into the middle of the room with these morons.

[tanyev]

16. Boo loudly! Breathe deeply! Freedumb!

[BlueStater]

17. Did they do anything about the assholes refusing to wear them?

I assume that’s most of them, but why have rules if you’re not going to enforce them?

Children are taught from a young age that people can’t get their way from whining, but my observations as an adult have taught me that’s often not true at all. 🙄

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

18. #COVIDIOTS

[Javaman]

19. and here we have yet another super spreader event by the repukes. nt

[rickyhall]

20. At the quarantine's end we can have a big bonfire.

[mezame]

21. Hello? FBI?

These insurrectionists are gathered together conveniently in one place, all in support of January 6 and worshiping their Golden Calf - so what are you waiting for? An engraved invitation? There's already established probable cause - arrest all of them! There are penalties for violating Amendment 14, and there are plenty of violations taking place right under your nose, take your pick!

Am I missing something here?

Fucking Republicans...I hate them all.

[Fritz Walter]

22. Where's this guy when you need him?

Oh. Wait. He's a Cardinals fan. He's probably lined up to pay his respects at a St. Louis cemetary.

[Marcuse]

33. He could be in Phoenix or Vatican City.

[tonekat]

23. Those CPAC bozos would use the same hotel

...as the publisher I worked for when we had our annual seminars for subscribers in DC. You'd see all these plastic, Stepford types wandering around near the conference wing of the hotel back then.

[paleotn]

24. F' them. F' them all.

If a meteor crashed into the venue, killing all of them, I'd go about my business as though nothing happened. Well, I would go about my business with a little, wry smile.

[AllaN01Bear]

25. were in a national emergency. you dont have any rights.

[Schmice3]

26. I hope they get what they deserve.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

27. Let 'em die

It's clearly what they want

[ZonkerHarris]

30. bunch o morons

[Aussie105]

31. This is why the USA death toll is so high.

The virus is having a great time spreading and killing.

Who would have thought the cries of FREEDOM and IT'S A HOAX! would be so helpful to that virus?

As you were, carry on. Dying for FREEDOM is a noble thing, after all.

500,000+ graves, many marked with DIED FOR FREEDOM!

The world looks on, and wonders what is wrong in the USA.

It's sad, it is tragic, and above all . . . STUPID!

[Corgigal]

32. That's my jam.

Does anyone do boom boxes anymore? They scream Freedom, you turn on and play loud. Creepy place might finally be fun.

[Harker]

34. If they really want masks on...

they should prohibit them.

Most republican'ts are reflexively contrary.

[Hotler]

35. I wonder if these morons yell FREEDUMB when their supervisor at work

requires them to wear steel toe boots, safety glasses and hardhats.
