一年一度的保守党政治行动会议第二天在佛罗里达州奥兰多举行，该会议被认为是共和党基础的晴雨表。和就像周五的情况一样发言人不仅支持前总统唐纳德·特朗普，还支持他一些最具煽动性和虚假的想法。

周五由小唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump Jr .)主持的特朗普政治行动会议(Trump Political Action Conference)被称为“TPAC”，迄今为止，该会议与其说是关于传统的保守价值观，不如说是围绕着对特朗普的忠诚、对他不可信的选举欺诈主张的忠诚以及对民主党人的攻击。

共和党研究委员会主席、印第安纳州众议员吉姆·班克斯(Jim Banks)说:“我们党内最不受欢迎的人是那些想把唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)和唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)的支持者从我们党内抹去的人。”“如果发生这种情况，我们将无法在2022年赢回多数席位。如果我们抹去唐纳德·特朗普，我们肯定不会在2024年赢回白宫。”

特朗普还没有出现在会议上——他将在周日离开办公室后首次在会上发表重要讲话——尽管与会者面前摆着这位前总统的金色镀铬雕像。这个200磅重的玻璃纤维复制品是由一位美国前专利在墨西哥制造的，根据政治的说法。

特朗普以大约700万张选票输掉了总统选举，选举结果在每个战场州都得到认证。他的竞选团队努力挑战结果毫无根据的选举舞弊指控在法庭上失败了几十次。

然而，周六，亚利桑那州众议员保罗·戈萨尔，一个自由核心小组的成员和结果的主要否认者之一-谁是令人惊讶的主旨发言人周五晚上在佛罗里达州奥兰多的一次会议上在那里，发言人散布白人民族主义言论，重新点燃了关于选举被操纵的阴谋。

“我们在亚利桑那州有一个伟大的裁决，”戈萨尔在一个关于移民的小组中说。“正如你们中的许多人所知，亚利桑那州存在欺诈指数，昨天，一名联邦地区法院法官允许对马里科帕县监事会拥有最高权力的州立法机构使用自治领机器和选票。”

周五，一名法官裁定，马里科帕县必须将11月选举的选票移交给州参议院，并提供对其投票机的访问，以便进行审计亚利桑那州共和国。州参议院已经发出传票要求投票。该县在选举前后进行了多次审计。和其他各州一样，亚利桑那州没有发现广泛的选举欺诈，特朗普竞选团队对结果的挑战在法庭上失败了。

Jody Hice众议员，R-Ga。他将该州的选举失败归咎于佐治亚州国务卿布拉德·拉芬伯格。

“我向你保证，格鲁吉亚不是蓝色的，这次选举发生的一切完全是因为一位糟糕的国务卿和他做出的糟糕决定，”他在一个关于“谁才是拜登政府的真正负责人”的小组讨论中说。“即使是现在，格鲁吉亚大会也正在解决其中的许多问题，所以我认为我们将在这方面看到一些巨大的变化。”

拉芬伯格曾说过特朗普是”完全错了“关于该州猖獗的选民欺诈以及选举遵循法律。

佐治亚州大会的共和党人已经提出了十几项选举/投票法案。投票权倡导者和民主党人警告过他们会有投票的重大限制，尤其是非白人居民。

在小组讨论中，Hice承认民主党在选民登记方面比共和党做得更好。

“但是听着，我们必须登记选民，”他说。“在登记新选民方面，民主党超过了我们，他们让那些人出来投票。”

面临召回努力的加州民主党州长加文·纽瑟姆是周六的经常目标。据报道，曾在特朗普政府中担任国家情报局代理局长的前大使理查德·格雷诺耶(Richard Grenell)正在为州长竞选奠定基础，如果召回纽森的努力成功的话政治。

虽然他没有直截了当地说出来，但在周六CPAC的讲话中，格雷诺耶强烈暗示他将参加竞选，并暗示如果纽森没有被召回，他将参加2022年的大选。

周六，美国前国务卿迈克·蓬佩奥坚定支持特朗普的“美国第一”议程，而加州众议员德文·努内斯则谈到了这一点新冠肺炎救济法案在没有共和党支持的情况下一夜之间被众议院通过，称其为“行贿基金”

在一个关于“打击共产主义中国”的小组讨论中，田纳西州参议员比尔·哈格蒂说，他认为特朗普担任驻日本大使的政府将成为历史上“最重要的政府之一”。

美国前贸易代表罗伯特·莱特希泽(Robert Lighthizer)随后表示，特朗普可能还没有完成。

“他可能有更多!”莱特希泽说。

CPAC speakers tout Trump, spread debunked election claims

.Day Two of the annual Conservative Political Action Conference -- considered a barometer of the Republican Party's base -- is underway in Orlando, Florida. Andas was the case on Friday, speakers stood not only behind former President Donald Trump but also some of his most inflammatory and false ideas.

The conference -- called "TPAC" for Trump Political Action Conference on Friday by Donald Trump Jr. -- has so far been less about traditional conservative values and more centered around loyalty to Trump, allegiance to his discredited claims of election fraud and attacks on Democrats.

"The least popular in our party are the ones who want to erase Donald Trump and Donald Trump's supporters from our party," Indiana Rep. Jim Banks, chairman of the Republican Study Committee, said. "If that happens, we won't win back the majority in 2022. We definitely won't win back to the White House in 2024 if we erase Donald Trump."

Trump hasn't appeared at the conference yet -- he will make his first major address since leaving office at it on Sunday -- though attendees posed with a golden chrome-painted statue of the former president. The 200-pound fiberglass replica was made in Mexico by an American ex-pat,according to Politico.

Trump lost the presidential election by about 7 million votes, and the election results were certified in every battleground state. His campaign's efforts to challenge the outcome withbaseless election fraud claimsfailed in court dozens of times.

Still, on Saturday, Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar, a Freedom Caucus member and one of the chief deniers of the results -- who was the surprise keynote speakerat a conference Friday night in Orlando, Florida, where speakers spread white nationalist rhetoric -- reignited conspiracies about the election being rigged.

"We had a great ruling in Arizona," Gosar said during a panel about immigration. "As many of you know, there were indices of fraud that were out in Arizona, and yesterday, a federal district court judge allowed the state legislature, who has supremacy over the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, to access the Dominion machines and the ballots."

On Friday, a judge ruled that Maricopa County must turn over the ballots from the November election to the state Senate and provide access to its voting machines so an audit can be conducted, according to theArizona Republic. The state Senate had issued a subpoena for the ballots. The county has conducted multiple audits before and after the election. As was the case in every other state, no widespread election fraud has been discovered in Arizona and the Trump campaign's challenges to the results failed in court.

Rep. Jody Hice, R-Ga., blamed his state's election losses on Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.

"I guarantee you, Georgia is not blue, and what happened this election was solely because of a horrible secretary of state and horrible decisions that he made," he said during a panel on "Who's Really Running the Biden Administration." "And the Georgia General Assembly even now is in process of fixing a lot of that, and so I think we're going to see some tremendous change in that regard."

Raffensperger has said that Trump was "just plain wrong" about rampant voter fraud in the state and that the election followed the law.

Republicans in the Georgia General Assembly have introduced more than a dozen election/voting bills. Voting rights advocates and Democratshave warnedthey will havesignificant restrictions on voting, particularly for non-white residents.

During the panel, Hice conceded that Democrats did better than Republicans at registering voters.

"But listen we have got to register the voters," he said. "The Democrats outdid us when it came to registering new voters, and they got those folks out to vote."

Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who faces a recall effort, was a frequent target Saturday. Former Ambassador Richard Grenell, who served as acting director of national intelligence in the Trump administration, is reportedly laying the groundwork for a gubernatorial bid if the effort to recall Newsom is successful, according toPolitico.

While he didn't outright say it, during his remarks at CPAC Saturday, Grenell heavily implied he would run and suggested he would run in the 2022 general election if Newsom wasn't recalled.

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo stood firmly behind Trump's "America First" agenda on Saturday, while California Rep. Devin Nunes touched on theCOVID-19 relief billpassed by the House overnight with no Republican support, calling it a "slush fund."

During a panel about "fighting communist China," Tennessee Sen. Bill Hagerty said he thinks Trump's administration, in which he served as the ambassador to Japan, will go down as one of the "most consequential" in history.

Former U.S. trade representative Robert Lighthizer followed up by saying Trump may not be done yet.

"He may have more!" Lighthizer said.
