One of the first speeches at this year’s conference challenged the media to stop referring to the alt-right as conservative. Richard Spencer, a self-proclaimed white nationalist, was asked to leave the Conservative Political Action Conference. As the throng of reporters moved, Spencer was stopped by JP Sheehan, a CPAC attendee wearing a black-and-gold Make America Great Again baseball cap. “Praise kek!” said Sheehan, posing for a selfie with Spencer and repeating a meme that had been adopted by the alt-right. Spencer, who became somewhat infamous after leading a cry of “hail Trump, hail victory, hail our people” at an NPI conference, was gone.
