CPAC’s “#CPACQ Questions for the speakers” backfires with hilarious tweets

Michelle March 1, 2015 1 Comment

The infamous CPAC has now come to an end. Before it convened, however, the organizers took to Twitter asking Tweeters to post a question they have for any of the speakers. Since Twitter is just not for Republicans, you can imagine some of the responses that came in. Here they are.

The original "Call for Questions" tweet:

Have a question for a speaker for any of the sessions? Use our hashtag, #CPACQ, to send in your question. #CPAC2015 pic.twitter.com/tJiJ6dkWC3

How can I properly revere the founders but ignore history at the same time? #CPACQ

Why are you so afraid to see the current generation taught history and science? #CPACQ.#CPAC2015

This next tweet was prompted due to the CPAQ site apparently crashing.
The tweet following shows a screen clip from the CPAC site.

@CPACnews Did you hire the same company that did the Obamacare website to do the CPAC site? #CPACQ

Even the official Democrat Party Tweeters joined in….

Criminal investigations, gutted university budgets, slashed health care – how will you pick 1 leader from this incredible 2016 field? #CPACQ

What is the best way to convince people I'm actually a Christian while also arguing to cut assistance to the poor and elderly? #CPACQ
