The Atlantic Politics & Policy Daily: The Boys Are CPAC in Town
Today in 5 Lines During joint remarks with White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus at the Conservative Political Action Conference, chief strategist Steve Bannon listed the “deconstruction of the administrative state” as one of the Trump administration’s priorities. Richard Spencer, the founder of the self-proclaimed “alt-right” movement, was kicked out of CPAC after the event’s organizer called the alt-right a “hateful, left-wing fascist group.” Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly said there will be “no use of military force in immigration operations” after Trump called his administration’s effort to remove undocumented immigrants “a military operation.” Speaking at a health conference in Orlando, former House Speaker John Boehner said repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act is “not going to happen.” White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer suggested there will be “greater enforcement” of the federal marijuana law under the Trump administration.
