Trump set to speak at CPAC Friday
President Trump will speak at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference on Friday, although his vision and voice were strongly felt throughout the first day of events Thursday in speeches by Vice President Mike Pence, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), and NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre. Conservative commentator Ben Shapiro was one of the lone voices of criticism, hitting Trump for "his repeated untruths, which earned some applause," observed Tom Kludt for Reliable Sources.
Trump is set to speak at 10:05 a.m. ET, and his message will be "a test of whether or not the conference can move on from the issue that gripped most of the day on Thursday — responding to last week's shooting at a Parkland, Florida, high school that killed 17 people," NPR reports.
