Horrific grifters': CPAC's $95K Mar-a-Lago packages disgust even conservatives

CPAC is hosting a “Gathering of Visionaries” this week at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, with ticket packages priced at up to $95,000. HuffPost reports the event could channel hundreds of thousands of dollars to Trump from wealthy supporters, regardless of Tuesday’s election results. The program runs Wednesday through Sunday and includes speakers such as actor Jim Caviezel, Labor Secretary Keith Sonderling, Sen. Mike Lee, and former British Prime Minister Liz Truss. It’s unclear if Trump will attend. CPAC declined to say ticket sales or what it’s paying Mar-a-Lago and barred press. The lawsuit-like controversy is tied to Trump’s increasing influence within CPAC, with critics calling it “grift.”
