CPAC has been known in the past for including some odd bits of merchandise either being sold or shown off, like a golden statue of Donald Trump that has made multiple appearances over the years.
The Conservative Political Action Conference event kicked off in Washington D.C. on Thursday, and the decor did not disappoint.
Among the items on display was a January 6-themed pinball machine, a custom design by Jon Linowes. The game includes various modes like “political prisoners” and “it’s a set-up.” Footage from the Jan. 6 Capitol riot plays out on a screen while the game is played. Unfortunately, the pinball machine appeared to not be working by the afternoon.
A helpful guide to Jan. 6 pinball:
If pinball isn’t your jam, you could also participate in a King George III-themed bracket, from the New Civil Liberties Alliance, to determine the worst “abusers of civil liberties” in the current administration.
If you needed to hydrate during CPAC, there were bottles of “Woke Tears” on sale, going for approximately $20 for six. Attendees must have been thirsty because the table was quickly cleared of the bottles, empty by the afternoon.
Other items on display included dresses literally covered in Trump’s face and glass art of the former president, including one of him stoically standing next to a lion.
American Conservative Union chairman Matt Schlapp opened Thursday’s event by blasting the media for “destroying” America and claiming Trump is being “tortured” by Democrats.
