The Conservative Political Action Conference, the largest conservative conference in the United States, was the focus of controversy earlier this week as one of the scheduled speakers, an online commentator named Young Pharaoh, was canceled after being exposed as an anti-Semitic proponent of racist conspiracy theories.

The cancellation put conference organizers in an embarrassing position, as the theme of this year's CPAC is "American Uncanceled."
Over the past year, Young Pharaoh has posted on social media that Judaism is a "complete lie" and "made up for political gain." He also said that Jewish people are "thieving fake Jews," tweeted that "all the censorship and pedophilia on social media is being done by Israeli Jews," and claimed that "all of these big tech [companies], media, and social media platforms are controlled by CCP [Chinese Communist Party] and Israel through Jewish CEO[s] and corrupt Democrats."
This week's CPAC is featuring a speaker named Young Pharaoh. In the past year, he's claimed that: 1) Judaism is a "complete lie"; 2) Jewish people are "thieving"; 3) and "all the censorship & pedophilia on social media is being done by Israeli Jews." https://t.co/km1UFzl1IQ

Young Pharaoh's name and links to his content were removed from the CPAC website. As stated, the focus of this year's CPAC was the rise of "political correctness" and the "cancel culture" it has seemed to espouse, mainly as it pertains to conservatives and their political views.
