Accused sexual predator Matt Schlapp has officially uninvited virulent antisemite Nick Fuentes from the Conservative Political Action Conference. The chairman of the massive conservative gathering revealed the news in a tweet on Friday, saying Fuentes’ “hateful rhetoric and actions are not consistent with the mission of CPAC” and expressing concern about the “rise of antisemitic rhetoric” in the U.S. Fuentes, an avowed white supremacist, fired back on Telegram, calling himself the “Most Cancelled Man in America” while labeling Schlapp a “sexual groper.” Fuentes became a national figure after an infamous incident at Mar-a-Lago last year, when antisemitic rapper Ye brought him to a dinner with former President Donald Trump. Schlapp, too, has had his fair share of scrutiny after a staffer for Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker accused Schlapp of non-consensually “fondling” his groin. Fuentes actually won’t be the only notable absence from CPAC this year: Big-name Republicans like former Vice President Mike Pence and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis are also skipping the scandal-plagued event.
