Rhinestone hats, ‘woke tears’ in a bottle, and Jan 6 pinball: The wild MAGA merch at CPAC
At this year’s CPAC, MAGA fans have been spoilt for choice with the array of merch to take their pick from.
There’s everything from Jesus hats decorated with rhinestones, MAGA-themed hammocks to relax on after a long day of culture war rhetoric, and some possibly salty “woke tears” in a bottle to quench your conservative thirst.
Not to mention the chance to take a break from the fearmongering on stage to play some January 6 insurrection pinball.
Here The Independent rounds up some of the wildest merchandise on offer:
The stand for “America’s funniest anti-woke brand” which “identifies as transparent” and is “made from pure melted snowflakes” was almost entirely empty when The Independent stopped by.

There were rhinestone hats available for both those who wanted to explicitly say “f*** Biden” as well as those who wanted to send the very same message using the rightwing code: “Let’s Go Brandon”.

For those who don’t want to nap without sharing their political beliefs, there’s MAGA Hammocks.
