CPAC Tweets Support For Putin’s Ukraine Annexation

Mediaite reports:

The CPAC Twitter account earned outrage after tweeting — and quickly deleting — a message referring to “Ukraine-occupied territories” and referring to President Joe Biden’s “gift-giving” to the country as it deals with an invasion from Russia.

Man, the blowback to CPAC’s vile tweet cheering Putin’s annexation of “Ukrainian-occupied territories” (aka Ukraine) must have been *really* bad for those guys to delete it. Usually they love pissing people off. pic.twitter.com/gEJaCDzWF0

Did CPAC really tweet this unfiltered Russian propaganda? It accuses Ukraine of “occupying” its own country. Reagan’s example of challenging Russian aggression is mocked as “gift-giving”? First Trump, Then Orban, Now Putin. pic.twitter.com/Vqp82CJpYf
