Donald Trump Repeats Lies About 2020 Election in CPAC Keynote Speech

HeadlineMar 06, 2023

In Maryland, former President Trump was met with thunderous applause at this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference, where he delivered the keynote speech Saturday. Trump, who was introduced as “the next president of the United States,” gave a nearly two-hour address in which he railed against the investigations he is under, and lied about winning the 2020 election.

Donald Trump: “In 2016, I declared I am your voice. Today, I add: I am your warrior, I am your justice. And for those who have been wronged and betrayed, I am your retribution.”

Trump’s likely competitor, right-wing Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, addressed supporters at a rally in Southern California Sunday, where he repeated his motto, “[Florida] is where woke goes to die.”
