Former President Trump’s July 11 speech at CPAC in Texas included on-target attacks on the Green New Deal and the assault on free speech in the U.S., along with warmongering attacks on China.
“They’re raising your taxes so you can waste this money on the Green New Deal, which is nonsense,” he said. “And we don’t need windmills in Texas and lots of other places. We don’t need windmills. They ought to end that program as quickly as they can.” He pointed out that much of the proposed infrastructure deal doesn’t fund real infrastructure: “Almost none of the money’s going to real infrastructure, which is roads, bridges, etc.... It’s all green new deal stuff. It’s nonsense.”
“They are hard at work to abolish the First Amendment as well,” he warned. “The radical left and big tech’s attack on free speech is unlawful. It’s unconstitutional, and it is completely un-American.” He referred to the lawsuits he filed against Facebook, Twitter, and Google, and said that “The big tech election interference in 2020 was an outrageous assault upon our Republic and upon the American voter.” He singled out Zuckerberg’s funding of voter efforts, the coverup of the Hunter Biden laptop story on the laughable basis that it was Russian disinformation, and the tech companies that “interfered with and undermined the sacred integrity of the ballot box by censoring any honest discussion of election fraud.” He reported that Bill Barr — who did next to nothing against the outrageous coup against Trump — prevented investigation of vote fraud.
He denounced the coup against him as a “deranged and demented persecution that has been directed at me, my family, and everyone associated with us, everybody.” He demanded to know why Durham never did anything, despite the powerful report from Inspector General Michael Horowitz about the (plainly politically motivated) spying on Trump’s campaign. “If anyone should be losing their jobs, their law licenses,” he told the crowd, “it’s not Rudy Giuliani, it’s Adam Schiff.”
