Lol at the gaslighting in this thread. CPAC is an important conservative event and this man was speaking at it. They chose to invite him and if they don't condemn this statement then as far as I'm concerned they condone it. Same with the posters in this thread
You people think that regardless of whether anyone you disagree with politically condemns it or not, so why should anyone bother?
Alben Barkley has gotten a lot of flack for his views on trans people, and his post in this thread got a very positive reception, even from people who very much do not like him, so no, that's not remotely the case. It's actually very easy to avoid being associated with a genocidal freak and if you can't avoid the impulse to minimize or deflect from a call for genocide, that's entirely on you
And I'm not going to even get started on these people trying to narrow the definition of genocide. Otherwise, what's happening to the uyghurs is not genocide, which is totally absurd
