Alt-right conspiracy theorist Jack Posobiec vowed to finish what rioters began on Jan. 6 by working to “overthrow” democracy “completely.”

Posobiec made the comments during the opening day of CPAC, the Conservative Political Action Conference, in Washington, D.C., Wednesday.

“Welcome to the end of democracy!” Posobiec declared. “We’re here to overthrow it completely. We didn’t get all the way there on January 6th, but we will endeavor to get rid of it and replace it with this right here,” he said, holding his fist in the air. “That’s right, because all glory is not to government, all glory to God.”

Steve Bannon, former White House adviser, is heard in the background exclaiming, “All right! Amen!”

The reaction on X (formerly Twitter) to Posobiec’s audacious statements was swift.

Republicans Against Trump posted, “Trump’s Republican Party openly wants to end democracy. We must stop them.”

Posobiec expanded on his plans in an interview to Real America’s Voice.

“We are here in the swamp, to drain the swamp, and eventually to raze the swamp to the ground and create the new American republic on its ashes,” Posobiec said.

Matt Boyle said, “Yeah, but look, do you think that all the ‘Deep State’ people who live around Washington, D.C., and the DMV, right, D.C., Maryland, Virginia, they don’t notice all these conservatives around? Of course they do, they see you guys.”

“Oh, they’re terrified. They’re terrified. They’re terrified with this,” Posobiec emphasized.

“They’re scared of you guys, of the people that come to this conference, because they know it’s the people that come to this conference that give a shot to guys like Trump to come back to the White House and to actually take their power away, right?” Boyle said.

Posobiec answered, “The people in that town that you know and I know so well, they want this to not exist. They want all of you to not exist,” he said while pointing to the CPAC attendees. “They want your borders to not exist, and they want to get rid of you. And that’s why I say, we do need to be here, we do need to plant a flag.”

Former President Donald Trump is expected to speak Saturday, on the final day of CPAC 2024. Media outlets deemed left-wing by organizer Matt Schlapp, have been banned from receiving press credentials at the event.
