CPAC Cancels QAnon-Promoting Speaker Who Links Christianity to Pedophilia and ‘Caucasians’ to ‘Bestiality’

Published

on

The annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) is this week, and it will feature ex-President Donald Trump as its keynote speaker – the first time he will speak in public since President Joe Biden was inaugurated.

The theme of this year’s event is “America uncanceled,” which is ironic since the organization that runs CPAC, Matt Schlapp‘s American Conservative Union, just canceled one of its scheduled speakers.

That speaker, Young Pharaoh, has made statements CPAC is now calling “reprehensible.”

On Twitter Young Pharaoh repeatedly posts about pedophilia, including linking it to LGBTQ people, Christianity, and the Biden family. Some of his tweets appear to echo QAnon and other conspiracy theories.

He’s also linked “caucasians” to bestiality.

Media Matters reports Young Pharaoh “has told followers that Judaism is a ‘complete lie’ and ‘made up for political gain,’ said that Jewish people are ‘thieving fake Jews,’ tweeted that ‘all the censorship & pedophilia on social media is being done by Israeli Jews,’ and claimed that ‘all of these big tech [companies], media, & social media platforms are controlled by CCP & Israel through Jewish CEO & corrupt Democrats.'”

“He’s additionally promoted the QAnon and Pizzagate conspiracy theories and falsely claimed that coronavirus vaccines will ‘alter your DNA.'”

‘Derelict’ DeSantis Roasted for Delaying Florida Shut Down Order Until Now: ‘People Will Die as a Result’

Florida is the only state in the nation with 5000 or more coronavirus cases that does not have a stay at home order. Republican Governor Ron DeSantis, who refused to shut down the state’s beaches in an effort to grab spring break cash from college students,  has been under growing pressure to issue the executive order.

He finally has – although it is far more limited than those in other states.

The stay at home order will be state-wide, and will go into effect Thursday at midnight, lasting for 30 days. It is focused on “individuals, and it is not telling non-essential businesses to shut down entirely. He says those businesses can still make deliveries or things of that nature, but people cannot congregate in the business itself,” WCTV reports.

DeSantis, who is closely tied to President Donald Trump, claimed he had not issued the order because Trump had not instructed him to do so.

“On Tuesday, DeSantis said at a news conference that he had no plans to issue a statewide order because the White House had not told him to do so,” The Washington Post reported.

Also Tuesday, President Donald Trump called DeSantis “a great governor who knows exactly what he’s doing.”

Florida is home to huge numbers of people, including seniors, who are at extreme risk of death from coronavirus.

Knowing the state’s electoral college votes could determine the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. Trump has paid special attention to Florida and its new GOP governor. The Trump administration has ensured that Florida, unlike many blue states, has received all of its requested medical equipment and supplies, including PPE.

There are currently 7000 coronavirus cases in the Sunshine State, 900 people have been hospitalized, and 86 have died.

One attorney says his lawsuit against DeSantis to shut down the state did the trick:

On social media many are furious. DeSantis is being called “a flailing, derelict governor.”
