Following in the footsteps of Bill Cosby’s publicists and the New York Police Department social media outreach officer, the organizers of CPAC have opened the floor to questions from Twitter via the #CPACQ hashtag:

Have a question for a speaker for any of the sessions? Use our hashtag, #CPACQ, to send in your question. #CPAC2015 pic.twitter.com/tJiJ6dkWC3 — CPAC (@CPACnews) February 26, 2015

Not surprisingly, the decision quickly backfired, with liberals flooding Twitter with questions before the conference even started:
