"Trump's CPAC Speech Sparks Republican Base's Call for Retribution and Fact-Checked Lies"

Many attendees at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) expressed eagerness for Donald Trump's promised "retribution" if he is reelected, advocating for mass firings in the federal government and payback against President Joe Biden, while also calling for the political exile of Trump's detractors within the GOP. Some attendees believed Trump would prioritize policy but were supportive of targeting Biden and his family over unproven claims of wrongdoing. The conference also showcased a lack of tolerance for Republicans who opposed Trump, with attendees expressing disdain for figures like Nikki Haley, Chris Christie, and Mike Pence. The tone of the conference reflected a shift towards unwavering loyalty to Trump, with some attendees expressing a desire for Trump to focus on the country's issues rather than seeking revenge.
