Conservatives celebrated and paid homage to Andrew Breitbart, the founder of Breitbart News, on the twelfth anniversary of his untimely passing at just 43 years old.
Ric Grenell, who served as Acting Director of National Intelligence during the Trump administration, gave tribute to Breitbart in a post on X Friday morning. Grenell recounted how Breitbart once called him to declare that, if the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) would not allow Logcabin Republicans – an advocacy group for gay conservatives – “to participate then he and [Breitbart News] were boycotting CPAC.”
I will never forget the day @AndrewBreitbart called me to say that if CPAC wasn’t going to allow Logcabin Republicans to participate then he and @BreitbartNews were boycotting CPAC.
It was a game changer for gay conservatives.
He never wavered.And today, I am a CPAC Board…
