The Conservative Political Action Conference or CPAC is becoming a bigger and bigger joke each and every year. There is nothing “conservative” about these people.

Online censorship was a big topic for this event yet they refused to give InfoWars a booth and proceeded to kick out InfoWars representative Owen Shroyer for unspecified reasons.

InfoWars was shown the door at this year’s CPAC and journalist Owen Shroyer decided to hold court as he was being removed, demanding answers and calling the group hypocrites for censoring his outlet’s voice.

Online censorship of conservative voices has been a major topic on panels at this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). Donald Trump Jr. told a crowd on Friday morning at the convention that censorship and bias against conservative voices is “probably a top three issue” with his father’s “base” of voters.

Ironically, that very afternoon CPAC took part in some censorship themselves by kicking journalist Owen Shroyer of InfoWars out of the event.

In videos posted to social media by Shroyer, an unidentified representative for CPAC is seen telling him and his crew that they “need to go.” Before Shroyer can be exited out of the event, he announces to fellow attendees CPAC “is kicking InfoWars out,” an outlet he claimed was the most “popular group” there.

n interviews with several independent journalists, Shroyer explained that InfoWars applied for a booth at CPAC, but was told there wasn’t “enough room” for them. Shroyer ended up paying for a pass himself. He says he was then invited to sit at various booths, but was told by CPAC officials he could not do that, so he complied. He then took to live streaming the event, which he was also told he could not do. He complied. He was then filming interviews with conservatives such as My Pillow founder Mike Lindell, which he was told he could not do unless he was in a specific area of the event. Once there, Shroyer took to filming and giving and getting interviews, and that’s when he was told to leave.

As he was being escorted away from the event, Shroyer yelled to attendees around him and complained he “followed all the rules” and that conservatives were “censoring themselves in the age of censorship.”

Gavin McInnes was also kicked out from the Gaylord Convention Center where CPAC is being held.

Gavin McInnes, a frequent guest on InfoWars and the founder of the controversial right-wing group Proud Boys, was also kicked out of CPAC this year and escorted from the Gaylord Convention Center by security. McInnes told National File CPAC has become “p***y central” and he was likely kicked out because he was criticizing more mainstream outlets who were let into the convention. He was also given no official explanation though when he was removed.

Founded by conspiracy theorist Alex Jones — who has also been posting videos from CPAC — InfoWars has become increasingly controversial in recent years. Jones and his outlet were banned from YouTube, Apple and Twitter in 2018, and he was later banned by Facebook the following year.

Meanwhile the leftist Jared Holt of Right Wing Watch was allowed to attend and to my knowledge has not been kicked out of the event.

What CPAC did here is outrageous. How can they claim to be against Internet censorship when they conspire to remove people from their conference who they have political disagreements with? Especially people who have been subjected to Internet censorship like the entire InfoWars team has.

They were obviously looking for reasons to justify kicking Shroyer out which is why they told him he couldn’t sit at people’s booths or do livestreams.

These fake “conservatives” are once again proving that they are a much bigger problem than actual leftists.
