Crowds at the Conservative Political Action Conference had a distinctly international flair this week, as foreign guests and leaders from around the world poured into the yearly event, including two sitting presidents and a former British prime minister.
Brexit boss Nigel Farage — a veteran of more than a decade of CPACS — was received warmly by the CPAC audience and proved even more popular at evening cocktail parties.
We “need strong leaders,” Farage railed during his speech, adding “we need Trump back in the White House.”
“What we’ve been defending are the basic concepts of the family, of the nation,” he said, according to a report.
Former Prime Minister Lis Truss was on hand through the conference, hawking her new book “Ten Years to Save the West” — and sounding off about how the British deep state doomed her famously brief time at 10 Downing Street.
“I faced the most almighty backlash for those conservative policies,I tried to put in place, from the usual suspects in the media, from the usual suspends in the corporate world, but also people who were meant to work for the government,” she told attendees during her remarks Friday.
