Allen West in Speeches at CPAC (2020s)


On Principles & Values: If you're a conservative in America, you are free

[At CPAC]: "You saw earlier where Joe Biden said, 'If you don't vote for me, you're not Black,'" West said. "A week ago we heard Maxine Waters and Representative Cori Bush talk about how Blacks are not free in America. Well, let me tell you something: If you're a conservative in America--Black, white, Hispanic, Asian, it doesn't matter--you are free. It's all about the constitutional principals and values that we believe in. That we honor. That we love."

West, who is Black, continued, "I look out at this audience, there's quite a few white folks out there. But you know something, I don't feel one bit oppressed. I don't feel like a victim because as an American, as a Texan, I'm a victor and not a victim. And as an American and a Texan, we are all victors, we are not victims. If we're going to make sure that America is not canceled, we have to step foot on this ideological battlefield in which we find ourselves."
