The “Principles First Summit’ expanded upon Trump ’s second term to welcome independents and center-left Democrats .

There was not even consensus on whether to fight within Republican spheres at all, migrate to the Democratic Party or find a different path altogether.

Mark Cuban , the entrepreneur and “Shark Tank” co-host, got a rousing ovation when he took the stage.

Principles First leaders received an emailed bomb threat specifically mentioning Michael Fanone , his mother’s address and other potential targets.

The summit space was evacuated as Washington police and Secret Service agents swept the area and found no bomb, allowing the conference to conclude Sunday evening .

Fanone and his fellow officers later were accosted in an upstairs lobby by Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio , freshly freed from prison.
