‘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!"
