The American Conservative Union's Conservative Political Action Conference [CPAC] is a convention of Conservative activists and politicians known for being one of the biggest events of the year for the far-Right.

This year's CPAC is on its third day and its speakers have already generated some wildly false claims, from former White House aide Sebastian Gorka threatening that Democrats are hell-bent on banning hamburgers to Donald Trump Jr. fanning fears of nonexistent "Post Term Abortions."


Democrats are enemy number one at CPAC, and the cocktail menu at one of its parties tried to reflect that. Instead, it only opened itself up for ridicule.

The menu reads:

Russian Collusion - Vodka Soda

AOC - Juice box

The Wall - Whisky Neat

Sarah Sanders - Bourbon on the Rocks

Mexico will pay for it - Tequila Sunrise

T-RUM-p Derangement Syndrome - Rum & Coke

KAVANAUGH "I like beer" - A Beer

CRYN' [sic] Chuck Schumer - Wine

The item that got the most attention was the "Mexico will pay for it." You'll recall then-candidate Donald Trump's oft-repeated campaign promise that Mexico would pay for a wall at the southern border. In his attempts to secure American taxpayer funding for the wall, Trump initiated the longest government shutdown in United States history and just recently declared a national emergency at the border—a move whose constitutionality is in question.

Apparently the person behind this menu didn't know or didn't care that Trump gave up on Mexico directly paying for the wall years ago.

People were sure to remind attendees of the conference just how inept Trump has proven to be with his wall promise.

That wasn't all they noticed.

Many pointed out that a lot of the "cocktails" aren't actually cocktails, and that if you walked up to a bartender and asked for "wine" or "a beer," they'd probably ask you to be more specific.

However, we have a feeling the "mixologists" behind these are giving themselves a collective pat on the back.

Like Brett Kavanaugh's beer, the jokes were just flat.

Karoline Leavitt Gets Blunt History Lesson After Claiming Trump Came Up With Common 'Motto'

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt had people raising their eyebrows after she claimed during a Fox News interview that President Donald Trump came up with the motto "peace through strength."

Anyone worth their salt knows the phrase has been around for a very long time—though that didn't stop Leavitt from crediting Trump anyway while discussing the U.S.' role amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran.

Trump Drops F-Bomb In Angry Rant After Israel And Iran Violate 'Ceasefire'—And It's Total Projection

President Donald Trump swore at Israel and Iran in an angry rant after the two countries violated a so-called ceasefire agreement he'd announced earlier in a post on Truth Social.

Israel and Iran have exchanged fire since Israel attacked Iran nearly two weeks ago in a bid to kneecap the country's nuclear capabilities. Trump himself later authorized a series of intense U.S. air and submarine strikes targeting three Iranian nuclear facilities.
