The presence and participation of individuals associated with Nazi ideologies at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) have sparked controversy and debate on social media. Reports and comments highlight a range of responses, from allegations of Nazis being allowed to stay at the event to defenses of CPAC's efforts to combat antisemitism, including a panel discussion on the topic and a kosher Shabbat program for observant Jews. Critics, specifically targeting NBC News and MSNBC, accuse these media outlets of biased reporting by focusing on the presence of such individuals while allegedly neglecting the conference's initiatives against antisemitism. Meanwhile, some attendees and speakers at CPAC, including @mschlapp, refute the claims of Nazi participation, with one comparing the number of Nazis to the number of 'honest regime media journalists'—asserting both are nonexistent.
NBC is a disgusting propaganda operation. Not one of you liars interviewed me at CPAC. Not one of you bums covered the presentation involving my wife and me and the father of a Hamas Nazi hostage. Not one of you buffoons watched the reaction and applause of the thousands of… https://t.co/UghMkmEK1c
There were as many Nazis at @CPAC as honest regime media journalists. Zero. @mschlapp https://t.co/F4wcokJG1Z
This year's CPAC meet featured incendiary comments from avowed isolationists, offering safe harbor for white supremacists & attracting the world's fringiest far-right figures – several of whom have been catapulted into leadership roles echoing Trump's rise https://t.co/tO17WrG7XR
As one of the participants in a panel on the @CPAC main stage on fighting antisemitism on university campuses, I can confirm that this is pure, unmitigated garbage from @NBCNews. https://t.co/iKU4PCSi25

This level of slander reaches a new low, even for @MSNBC. CPAC featured a plenary session on fighting antisemitism & its kosher Shabbat program for observant Jews, but NBC only tells you about Nazis who bought tickets. Now do the @DNC. https://t.co/QSykpEioPE via @nbcnews
Nazis filter into CPAC, allowed to stay https://t.co/WTYWeklOXq
Nazis, antisemitism, the great replacement theory, Fuentes, have become so common among conservatives that I think attendees, even journalists, didn’t think too deeply about them being at CPAC. There was very much an “oh them” attitude about the nazis. https://t.co/GxszahWw7q
