CPAC Dallas to host Trump, Ted Cruz, Greg Abbott and more big-name Republicans

[TexasTowelie]

CPAC and former President Donald Trump are returning to Dallas this week for the second straight year, along with other big-name speakers from the Republican Party.

The Conservative Political Action Conference runs Thursday through Sunday at the Hilton Anatole. Here’s what you should know about the event and how to attend or watch it.

Who will be there?

The conference has drawn criticism for inviting far-right Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who will speak Thursday. The leader said last week he doesn’t want Europeans mixing with people from outside the continent, leading one of his aides to resign after calling his comments “pure Nazi text.”

Other high-profile speakers include Fox News commentator Sean Hannity, radio host Glenn Beck of Westlake and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.

Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon is the keynote speaker for Saturday night’s Cattleman’s Ball, a fundraiser with a $375 minimum ticket price. Bannon was found guilty of contempt of Congress last week for refusing to cooperate with investigations into the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol.
