CPAC Says Dinesh DSouza Not Going to Speak This Year, Condemns Indefensible Remarkshttps://www.mediaite.com/online/cpac-says-dinesh-dsouza-not-going-to-speak-this-year-condemns-indefensible-remarks/
After Dinesh DSouzas disgusting tweets going after teenage survivors of a school shooting, people genuinely wondered if DSouza was lined up to speak at CPAC this week. The organization says he is and was not.
The Speakers page has DSouzas photo on it, but CPACs Twitter account says thats from the archives, theyre taking it down, and his comments today are abhorrent:

According to the Washington Examiner, with the controversy currently swirling around the NRA and their highly controversial chief, CPAC kept LaPierres address off the American Conservative Unions official agenda for the week, but sources within the organization claim he will still be speaking.
