US Edition‘Wrong Answer’: Attendees at Major Conservative Event Cheer for Trump Impeachment
CPAC Chairman Matt Schlapp’s attempt to energize conservatives with calls for impeachment hearings prompted unexpected cheers, reflecting complex attendee sentiments during a turbulent political period.
- On Friday, American Conservative Union Chairman Matt Schlapp asked the CPAC crowd in Texas, "How many of you would like to see impeachment hearings?" The audience responded with enthusiastic cheers, forcing Schlapp to awkwardly backpedal.

- With midterm elections approaching, lawmakers fear prolonged Middle East engagement coupled with rising energy costs could alienate core voters, leaving the Trump administration under mounting pressure to demonstrate a clear exit strategy.
