Opening statement at the Conservative Political Action Conference (#CPAC): “Welcome to the end of #Democracy. We are here to overthrow it completely. We didn’t get all the way there on #January6 but we will endeavor to get rid of it and replace it with this right here.” (He held up a cross necklace) “After we burn that #swamp to the ground, we will establish the new #American republic on its ashes, and our first order of business will be righteous retribution for those who betrayed America.”
