From the New York Times on Michael Barbarale, this is the deal.

Today, this weekend at CPAC, one thing became clear.

President Trump has taken over the conservative movement, his vision of conservatism dominated,

and as one woman learned, there was little room for alternative views.

It's Monday, February 26th.

Welcome. Thank you so much for being here. We're delighted to be with you.

So, we're going to be talking about hashtag us to left out by the left, or as we like to call it,

how conservative women can retake the leadership role with women across the country in a hashtag me to environment.

Let me do some quick introductions and then we're going to dive right in because we have a lot to cover.

Down at the end, we've got Mona Sharon. As you know, a syndicated columnist, a best-selling author, best-selling regulatory author, May I add?

Senior Fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center.

Mona, can you give a little context for how you wound up on stage at CPAC this weekend?

Give us a little background on what you were doing there.

Well, it wasn't my first CPAC experience. I am a lifelong conservative. My first job out of college was at William F. Buckley's National Review.

I had been a speech writer for Nancy Reagan and for Congressman Jack Camp. I was a conservative columnist at the age of 30.

So, CPAC is a natural or had been a very natural environment for me, and I certainly am no stranger to conservative gatherings.

Right. I mean, Buckley Reagan, Camp, you're kind of conservative royalty.

Well, thank you for saying that.

So, welcome, Mona. Thank you for joining us.

And what was this panel that you were invited to speak on? What was its focus?

The idea was that four conservative-leaning women would discuss the phenomenon of the Me Too movement

and give a conservative point of view on issues of men and women and sexual behavior and sexual harassment and so forth.
