One person who was still happy to be on stage with Schlapp though, was Jim Jordan, who's famous for ignoring sexual assault allegations. When Jordan was a coach, 8 kids reported to him that they were being sexually abused by the doctor, and Jordan ignored it, but apparently told the doctor, who had an office next to Jordan, he'd kill him if he tried anything with Jordan himself. The doctor went on to abuse more than 100 kids. It's not surprising that sexual-assault-enabler Jim Jordan is fine being on stage with sexual-assault-accused Matt Schlapp.

Haley did attend. Got a tepid response and apparently got chased into an elevator after taking a veiled shot at Trump.
Those attending picked Kari Lake as their choice for Trump's VP candidate. I don't expect CPAC to be around in a couple more years.

Patrick Wojahn, a close friend of Pete Buttigieg -- who mentored him when he became mayor of College Park, Maryland (just outside of Washington D.C.) -- has been arrested on 56 counts of possession and distribution of child pornography.
The WaPo describes it this way (all in an article that somehow manages to forget mentioning that he's a Democrat or closeness to old Joe's Transportation Secretary in the 25 paragraph long story)
Authorities have accused Wojahn of uploading and sharing dozens of videos to the social media app Kik in early January that depicted explicit sexual acts involving prepubescent boys and adult men. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children flagged the suspicious Kik account to the Prince George’s County police on Feb. 17, authorities said, and investigators obtained a warrant to search Wojahn’s College Park home on Feb. 28. During that search, police said in court documents, Wojahn waived his Miranda rights and told investigators that the Kik account was his. Police also said that Wojahn “advised that he has viewed and possessed files depicting child pornography,” according to court papers.
There is no truth to the rumor that old Joe has asked Wojahn to replace Sam Brinton at the Energy Department.
