From the beginning, we asserted our innocence. Our family was attacked by a
left-wing media that is focused on the destruction of conservatives regardless
of the truth and the facts.  But we emerge from this ordeal stronger as husband and wife, stronger as parents to our five daughters, stronger as friends to those who stood by us.  Our faith in God sustained us. Our understanding of what is truly important in life – our faith in God and loving our family and friends – has been brought into sharp focus as never before.  
 
  
We also learned that the left is waging a relentless war against those of us who still hold fast to the principles of America’s founding and the liberty that has endured throughout our 248-year history.  The left no longer leaves disagreements on the political battlefield.  Increasingly, they have gained a stranglehold on the mainstream media, social media and the legal system which they use to try to silence, shame and bankrupt Americans who
have contrary, yet correct viewpoints.
 
  
Going forward, our eyes are wide open, we understand the struggle better and we learned we must stand our ground and fight or else the haters on the left will destroy every conservative and ultimately our nation.”

“As officers and directors of CPAC, we are pleased to learn about the favorable conclusion of the litigation against CPAC and Matt Schlapp. The Board of Directors stands squarely behind Matt Schlapp as the leader of this organization. 
  
The left-wing media did not, of course, wait for the facts to come out and instead launched a character assassination campaign to destroy CPAC, Matt, and his family. CPAC is more
resilient now than ever before, despite the constant rush to judgement and attacks
from the left. CPAC’s financial position is also at a historic level of strength. Our team is focused, and morale is high. And our supporters remain exceptionally engaged, as evidenced by a sold-out conference just a month ago and meteoric rise in social media engagement.
 
  
With strong leadership and an engaged Board of Directors dedicated to taking back our country and returning America to her glory days, CPAC continues to be the vanguard of the conservative movement. We will use our resources to advance conservatism, but also
to hold accountable so-called journalists who spread false stories to inflict harm on conservatives, their families, and their livelihoods.”
