Conservative fest in DC will have a Brooklyn beat
They won’t be serving Nathan’s Famous hot dogs, but the Conservative Political Action Conference will still have a Brooklyn flavor to it this year.
Not only is Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis (R-C-Bay Ridge-Staten Island) going to be one of the guest speakers at the conference, but a couple of Republican leaders from Brooklyn are going to be presenting a live radio show from the Washington DC event. The conference, which has been dubbed the Conservative Woodstock, will take place March 14-16.
Russell Gallo and Gene Berardelli, who co-host an Internet talk radio show called Brooklyn GOP Radio, will be broadcasting two one-hour live shows from the conference site. It’s the third year in a row that Gallo and Berardelli have broadcast their show from the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). The radio show, which was launched in 2010, is sponsored by the Kings County Republican Committee.
