Newly-resigned CPAC Vice Chairman Charlie Gerow – a guy who’s kind of a fucking mess himself considering he ran over a dude on a motorcycle and continued driving for several miles afterward with the goddamned bike still under the front of his car two years ago – urged other members of the right wing fan-con promotion’s leadership to appoint an independent investigator to look into two alleged assaults by sexual predator chairman Matt Schlapp on top of the October 2022 Herschel Walker campaign incident he’s already being sued for, the Washington Post reports.
Gerow didn’t mention these other assaults in his public letter announcing his resignation on Friday, but sources told the Post he privately informed CPAC’s board of the sexual predator’s past exploits. In the first incident, a young male staffer said a drunken Schlapp tried to kiss him at a work function in 2017. The Post’s mention of the second incident does not get more specific than “unwanted advances on someone else’s employee” in early 2022, but sounds problematic enough.
It’s all problematic and of course very on-brand for the CPAC circlejerk, especially having hitched their wagon so closely to Hungarian dictator Viktor Orban’s deeply anti-LGBT regime.
