CPAC Covidiots Heckle Pleas To Wear Masks [VIDEO]

The Washington Post reports:

An audience at the Conservative Political Action Conference heckled its hosts for urging them to wear masks after a series of speakers bashed the lockdowns in other states and criticized “authoritarian” coronavirus restrictions.

“I know this might sound like a little bit of a downer, but we also believe in property rights and this is a private hotel and we believe in the rule of law, so we need to comply with the laws of this county that we’re in,” said American Conservative Union (ACU) Executive Director Dan Schneider.

“You should still be wearing a mask,” added CPAC Director Carly Conley, as attendees began to boo and jeer. “If everyone can go ahead and work on that — I know, I know, it’s not the most fun.”

Just watched a #CPAC staff member ask an attendee multiple times to put his mask on. He turned toward her, coughed, and kept walking. I’d say about 60-70% of attendees are wearing masks, despite a rule requiring masks.
