On Thursday one of the top officials behind the organization that puts together the annual Conservative Political Action Conference gave a speech in which he emphatically denounced the growing “alt-right” movement and then implied that it was somehow the work of liberals.
In one of the very first addresses to the conference, Dan Schneider, executive chairman of the American Conservative Union, denounced the far-right movement as a “sinister organization that is trying to worm its way into our ranks.”
Schneider continued, “They are anti-Semites; they are racists; they are sexists. They hate the Constitution. They hate free markets. They hate pluralism. They despise everything we believe in.”
All true statements. But then the American Conservative Union chairman went off into the zone of alternative facts as he continued to describe the alt-right as “nothing but garden-variety, left-wing fascists.”
