The New Yorker Covers CPI #PeaceMAGA Outreach

On October 28th, national outlet The New Yorker covered the Center for Political Innovation’s “PeaceMAGA” campaign in their article “The Trump Show Comes to Madison Square Garden“. While the article did not mention CPI by name, it did name founder Caleb Maupin and share his remarks:

“Kamala Harris is an insane warmonger,” an activist named Caleb Maupin said, into a bullhorn. “Kamala Harris is a product of George Soros and the U.S. regime-change apparatus.” He was standing in front of a banner that read “Only Peace Can Make America Great Again,” over a photo of Donald Trump shaking hands with Kim Jong Un.

While this is not the first news story to mention CPI, this is some of the highest-profile coverage CPI activities have received to date. Notably, the coverage is not explicitly negative — while Caleb’s activism is part of a list likely intended to seem absurd, The New Yorker nevertheless exposed many Americans to the existence of our unique anti-war positions. We at the Center for Political Innovation are glad our message could reach readers of the New Yorker  and attendees of Trump’s rally. As we prepare our plans for the next year, CPI members and friends should look forward to a number of even more exciting, and hopefully newsworthy, activities!
