Jezebel: Sex. Celebrity. Politics. With Teeth: CPAC Got an Actual Priest to Perform an Exorcism After Low-Level Employees Quit Over Pay https://jezebel.com/cpac-got-an-actual-priest-to-perform-an-exorcism-after-1850797102?utm_source=regular #Jezebel #conservativepoliticalactionconference #politicalcareerofdonaldtrump #americanconservativeunion #davidsafavian #mattschlapp #markcorallo #exorcism #mercedes #huffman #schlapp #therite

5. At the bottom of this claim is the determination to weaponize Christianity and use it to beat down those perceived as a threat to established power — the "demons."

6. In Catholic culture, this all gets tied up with reassertion and power of the clergy, who feel under siege in a rapidly changing world. The more these folks blather about demons and their unique power to vanquish demons, the more empty their claims to dominance become.

The fixation on demons and exorcism in reactionary Christianity today tells us much:

1. This kind of fixation predictably emerges when cultural shifts are underway, and entrenched power structures feel threatened.

2. Men in many cultures feel threatened, feel that their long-taken-for-granted privilege and entitlement based solely on being penis-endowed is under assault.

#MattSchlapp and his ‘wife’ Mercedes have clearly never heard of the #StreisandEffect. 😂

You can tell #MattSchlapp and his beard are full of shit because they immediately framed the reporting by the #DailyBeast as an attack on #Christians when, in fact, it's a legitimate story about the #sexualAssault allegations lodged against Matt by numerous men. Attempting to cast #Christianity as the victim is a pathetic bait & switch that highlights their willingness to use their alleged #faith to protect themselves from the consequences of Matt's repugnant actions.

Bob Beauprez, the longtime treasurer of the #AmericanConservativeUnion, said that he was not fully informed about money being paid for chairman #MattSchlapp’s legal defense against a lawsuit accusing him of #SexualAssault. “I cannot deliver a financial report at the upcoming board meeting with any confidence in the accuracy of the numbers,” Beauprez wrote in a letter to the #ACU’s board of directors.

Fash politics go perfectly with cults because cults value:

- loyalty
- secrecy
- pageantry (esp made power rituals, LE/mil costumes)
- hierarchical patriarchy

That’s the GOP! Perfect climate for systemic sexual abuse, too. #CPAC #MattSchlapp

Now we know why he came out into the open, ID'd himself and made that video. This story was going to drop in the news cycle.

Court documents show the accuser had previous restraining orders issued against him for allegations of sexual battery by two women.

This does not mean he wasn't also assaulted since contemporaneous text messages back him up. #MattSchlapp

How many shlongs would Matt Schlapp slap if Matt Schlapp could slap schlongs? #mattschlapp

I could less that Matt Schlapp is a closet gay. Well, that's not totally true because of the anti-LGBTIQQ policies he pushes. He wants his cake and eat it too.

What I do care about is that #MattSchlapp is a sexual predator.

His victim speaks out.

Last year #CPAC featured #ViktorOrban , a fascist dictator from Europe.

#CPAC2013 featured a #Talibangelical from the #ChristoFascist #MAGAt.

At least they’re not being distracted by #MattSchlapp ‘s homosexual assault on a staffer, and are remaining #OnBrand !

#CPAC attendees fear the event is now just a slush fund for #MattSchlapp's legal defense

This annual conservative family gala—formally, the Conservative Political Action Conference — doesn't just feel different than years past, many attendees are questioning, if not outright complaining, about the leaders of this conservative confab who jacked up prices, even as they're offering fewer amenities.
