Michael Knowles speaks at CPAC, blames Democrats for exacerbating America’s identity crisis through the southern border invasion

Daily Wire Host Michael Knowles Addresses ⁤America’s Identity Crisis at CPAC

On Thursday, ⁣at‌ the 2024 Conservative Political Action Conference‍ (CPAC) in Washington, D.C., Michael Knowles,⁣ the host of Daily Wire, ⁣delivered a thought-provoking ⁣speech ⁤on America’s “identity crisis”​ and the disunity caused by the illegal immigration crisis.

Knowles’ CPAC speech comes a ‌year after his remarks at a conservative event triggered backlash‍ from‍ leftists. Some ​media‌ outlets falsely reported ‍that Knowles‌ called for the ‌eradication of transgender​ people, ⁢when‌ in reality, he focused on ridding society of⁢ the trans ideology. This⁢ year, Knowles shifted his focus to the importance of unity over diversity.⁤ He argued that for the country to rediscover its identity, it must ⁣return to the principles it was ‌founded upon.

An Identity Crisis

“What that whole ‍little‌ kerfuffle demonstrated,” Knowles stated, referring to ‍the response from the Left​ last year, “was‌ that America is experiencing an identity crisis.⁤ We no longer know who⁣ we are.”

The Border Issue

Knowles highlighted the lack of functional borders as a significant factor contributing to ‍the ⁣identity⁢ crisis. He criticized Joe Biden for allowing almost‌ six ⁢million⁢ foreigners to enter the⁣ country⁣ illegally in⁣ the past⁤ three years.

A Democrat-Led Invasion

Knowles didn’t hold back in⁢ blaming the⁢ Democratic Party for the‌ massive influx of illegal immigrants. He called it ⁣”the largest human trafficking operation in human history” and‍ emphasized that the ⁢majority of Americans want it to ⁣end.

Unity, Not Diversity

Disputing the notion that the U.S. is ​”a nation of immigrants,” Knowles argued that this phrase does ‍not appear in the country’s founding documents. He traced its popularity back to the mid-1960s when the Democratic Party‌ adopted‍ it to gain ⁣a permanent electoral majority.

America’s Strength⁣ Lies in Unity

Knowles concluded by‍ asserting that America’s strength⁤ does ⁣not lie in its diversity ⁣but in its unity. He explained⁣ that throughout history, the country placed ⁢restrictions on immigrants not out‌ of ⁢dislike, but to maintain ​stability and preserve its identity.

Why does Knowles believe that⁤ unity based⁣ on shared values is essential for America’s progress and prosperity

Y to overcome its identity crisis, it must prioritize its common values⁣ and principles rather than‌ focusing on individual⁣ differences.

Knowles⁣ started his speech by acknowledging the current debates surrounding America’s⁢ national identity. He​ highlighted ‌the polarization ⁣and disunity‌ that has‍ been exacerbated by the ongoing illegal immigration crisis. According to Knowles,​ the disregard for the rule of law and the ⁤failure ‌to ⁤secure the ⁢nation’s⁤ borders have led to a breakdown in American identity ​and ‌a loss of shared values.

Drawing from historical references, Knowles emphasized the importance of a cohesive national identity. He argued that America was built on a⁣ foundation of common values, such as individual⁢ freedom, limited‍ government, and ‌the sanctity of the Constitution. Knowles stressed that‌ these principles are what bind Americans together and provide a shared sense of purpose⁢ and identity.

Knowles‌ also emphasized the need‌ to address the impact of identity politics on national unity. He ⁣argued that the current focus on diversity and group identities has only served to further divide Americans. Instead, he called for a return to unity based on shared values ⁤and ⁢a commitment ​to American exceptionalism.

Throughout his speech, Knowles criticized the mainstream media for perpetuating divisive⁤ narratives and for suppressing differing viewpoints. He urged Americans to seek out alternative news​ sources and to engage in⁣ open and honest discussions about the challenges facing the country.

Knowles concluded his speech by highlighting the importance of ‌reclaiming America’s identity and ⁢preserving⁤ its unique ⁢heritage. He called on conservatives to stand firm in defending the principles that have shaped the nation and​ to reject the dangerous ideology ‍that threatens to erode American values.

Overall, Knowles’ speech at CPAC focused on​ the​ urgent ⁤need for America to‌ address‌ its identity crisis.⁤ He argued that unity, based on shared values and principles, is essential for the country’s progress and prosperity. By highlighting the ​negative impacts of illegal immigration and identity politics, Knowles ⁣challenged his audience to ‌prioritize national unity over individual differences. He emphasized the ⁤importance of reclaiming America’s identity and preserving ⁢the‍ principles that⁢ have made it​ exceptional.
