| Subject: Conservatives aim to convert convicts at 'Prison CPAC' Sun Nov 10, 2019 2:18 am | |
| The Conservative Political Action Conference went to prison — and found a receptive audience among the locked-up murderers, robbers and drug dealers there. The American Conservative Union hosted its first-ever “Prison CPAC” this week to coach about 250 inmates on the life lessons and conservative values they need to reenter society. Libertarian activist Maj Toure, founder of Black Guns Matter, told the prisoners gun control was a racist tool of the political left rooted in the bigotry of the Civil War era. Mr. Toure implored the prisoners to “organize, organize, organize” to become a powerful political bloc to fight the radical left and to earn back the right to vote. “Overwhelmingly, Democratic policies put black and brown people in jail,” Mr. Toure said, prompting the inmates at State Correctional Institution at Chester to leap to their feet and applaud. When Mr. Toure exited the stage, a small crowd of prisoners left their seats and followed him to the back of the prison’s crowded gymnasium. Circled around Mr. Toure, they peppered him with questions about how to mobilize politically and about conservative and libertarian politics.
