Host panics as CPAC crowd cheers for Trump's impeachment [1]

['Jason Weisberger']

Date: 2026-03-27  

CPAC host Matt Schlapp tried to fire up the crowd by asking if they wanted impeachment hearings. He was surprised to receive an enthusiastic yes, forcing him to awkwardly correct the audience and ask again for a different answer.

"How many of you would like to see impeachment hearings?" Schlapp asked the massive crowd at the annual conservative event.

To Schlapp's surprise, a wave of cheers erupted from the crowd.

"No," Schlapp responded, shaking his head and smiling awkwardly. "That was the wrong answer. Let me try it again: how many of you would like to see impeachment hearings?"

Schlapp's second attempt garnered a more mixed response, with some still cheering while others booed.

Schlapp again laughed off the unexpected response.
