‘Put America first!’ CPAC attendee ‘not happy at all’ with Trump
CNN's Donie O'Sullivan talked to one attendee at the Conservative Political Action Conference, or CPAC, who slammed President Donald Trump over his war in Iran.
"I'm at CPAC in Dallas," O'Sullivan explained on Thursday. "It's the biggest conservative conference in the country. And lots of people here are talking about the war in Iran. Trump is not speaking at this event this year."
"But in the past, when he has spoken here, he's talked a lot about not starting new wars," he noted.
Attendee Alex Stone told O'Sullivan that he was "not happy" with Trump because of the war.
"I'm not happy. I'm not happy at all. I mean, President Trump ran on no new wars," he explained. "I feel like we've been co-opted into a war that shouldn't be ours. It should be Israel's."
Do you still support him? the CNN correspondent wondered.
"I want him to succeed," Stone hedged. "I think it's to be determined on, you know, if I can remain to support him. We'll see how the next six months go, and I'll see what happens."
"We hear the phrase America first," he added. "Let's put America first."
However, many CPAC attendees still supported the president.
"This is not a war," Shawn Michael insisted. "Oh my God, I absolutely support the president of the United States of America!"
CPAC moms say Barron Trump should enlist and ship out if his dad sends boots on the ground
In an interview with MS NOW’s Rosa Flores, two women attending the Conservative Political Action Conference, or CPAC, claimed they first resisted Donald Trump’s war on Iran and have now come around to his point of view, and later added that Barron Trump should enlist and ship off to Iran if the president puts boots on the ground.
One unidentified woman explained to Flores, “I started off pretty upset with the war. I have an 18-year-old son, so that really hit close to home. We had to get him registered for the Selective Service and everything, and so I wasn't happy about it. But then I saw these three boys that were publicly hung in Iran. That regime has been threatening Americans and has been killing Americans for years. If my son was called to go, I would still support the war.”
After the previously filmed clip was over, Flores added, “Now, Chris, I asked that mother, what about Barron Trump? She was there with her friend, and both mothers agreed that if soldiers were sent to war, if this woman's son was sent to war, they both agreed that Barron Trump should also serve in the military. And I said, ‘Well, do you think that he would actually do that?” And they said, well, they think that he would do the right thing.”
