Schlapp asserts I am grinding an axe coz I wasn't on his speaking schedule this year. A really odd thing to claim. I spoke for CPAC years, and at CPAC Australia. I don't need to speak at CPAC. I was on the Speaker Advisory Board this year for CPAC. I didn't recommend myself.

It is sad that @mschlapp says he "holds me in contempt". I don't hold him in contempt, and I never name checked him personally until his podcast appearance with the establishment Yahoo! News. I don't have that kind of MSM sway, so I'll tweet a few more thoughts on the matter.

After 2 days of panicked calls from CPAC attendees, speakers and VIPs, I was asked to make public the info we had all gathered. I took the risk, knowing Schlapp, @Schneider_DC & @IanBWalters might be upset. But it's a public health crisis. That's more important than PR.
