CPAC attendees boo, yell 'freedom' when asked to wear masks
Source: The Hill
Boos could be heard Friday when organizers of the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Orlando asked attendees to wear their masks to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
Loud boos and cheers for "Freedom" were heard echoing throughout the room as American Conservative Union Executive Director Dan Schneider and CPAC director Carly Patrick asked for attendees to adhere to the coronavirus restrictions put in place by Hyatt Regency Orlando, where the event is being held this year.
"A private hotel, just like your house, gets to set its own rules," Schneider told the crowd.
"We are in a private facility and we do want to be respectful of the ordinances they have, as they're a private property. So please, everyone, when you're in the ballroom, when you're seated you should still be wearing a mask." Patrick said. "So if everyone can go ahead and work on that. I know it's not the most fun."

(15,042 posts)to overturn the results of an election the Left won, would also consider the possibility that the Left might send "suicide Covid bombers" into their midst to infect them all. In this scenario, masks would be the equivalent of their guns, the means by which they would thwart the nefarious plot against them.
Or maybe they're just thicker than a brick.

Wonder if the attendees had to sign a waiver?

(295 posts)These insurrectionists are gathered together conveniently in one place, all in support of January 6 and worshiping their Golden Calf - so what are you waiting for? An engraved invitation? There's already established probable cause - arrest all of them! There are penalties for violating Amendment 14, and there are plenty of violations taking place right under your nose, take your pick!
Am I missing something here?
Fucking Republicans...I hate them all.

Who would have thought the cries of FREEDOM and IT'S A HOAX! would be so helpful to that virus?
As you were, carry on. Dying for FREEDOM is a noble thing, after all.
500,000+ graves, many marked with DIED FOR FREEDOM!
The world looks on, and wonders what is wrong in the USA.
It's sad, it is tragic, and above all . . . STUPID!
