"CPAC Attendees Boo, Yell ‘Freedom!’ After Being Told To Wear Masks

Organizers of the 2021 Conservative Political Action Conference had to plead with attendees Friday to please wear masks, and were met with loud jeers in response.

The incident, on the second day of the premier annual gathering of the U.S. right-wing, came when American Conservative Union executive director Dan Schneider and CPAC deputy director Carly Patrick took the stage inside the ballroom of the Hyatt Regency Orlando in Florida, where the packed conference is being held despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Schneider and Patrick gently and sheepishly asked attendees to put on masks, with Schneider even appealing to the conservative crowd’s love of private property.

“I know this might sound like a little bit of a downer, but we also believe in property rights, and this is a private hotel,” he said, according to live video footage from the event. “And we believe in the rule of law, so we need to comply with the laws of this county that we’re in. But a private hotel, just like your house, gets to set its own rules.”

Patrick took it from there, telling the crowd, “So please everyone, when you’re in the ballroom, when you’re seated, you should still be wearing a mask. So if everybody can go ahead and work on that.”

Perhaps sensing growing anger in the room, Patrick added: “I know, I know, it’s not the most fun.”

“Booooo!” some of the attendees could be heard yelling. “Freedom!” cried others. '
