CPAC scrambles to control damage after attendees wave Russian flags

[100% pro-life no matter what]

There is a lot of debate about what happened here, but, to my knowledge, none of y'all were at CPAC.  I was, so here is what happened: a liberal operative passed out Russian flags with Trump's name on it, and conservatives (mostly) took it because they thought it was funny and wanted the souvenir (I didn't get one).  Security took them away if they were out in the open during Trump's speech.  I did not see a single person actually waving them while Trump was speaking.

Right behind me, there was actually a protest incident.  Some guy screamed "you're a fascist" at President Trump and, after he was surrounded by security, he, like child, said "and your face is covered in poop" on his way out.

I will have more about CPAC on Sunday, but I wanted to clear this up!

Basically what I thought, though I bet not all of them knew it was the Russian flag, just saw it was red/white/blue with "TRUMP" on it...

Three (broad group) types of people largely attend CPAC:

50% Well-off college students usually in a CR, YAF, or TPUSA chapter
25% Rich ideological older conservatives
25% WWC conservatives

No, they were pro-Trump... the people taking them were probably just ignorant

 

 

Ok. Why am I wrong? What proof do you have that this isn't the type of scandal-mongering that routinely occurs at political events on both sides? This is trick is literally as old as democracy itself.

Spelling on the flag should be:

Трамп

to be genuine.

Which of course begs the question - what nefarious toxin did the liberal activist use to rob the CPAC attendees of ability to recognize a Russian flag, and of the ability to think that maybe holding a strange/Russian flag on an event that was on camera might be a bad idea?

Have you ever been to a political event? People take anything that isn't nailed down

Pretty broad coalition of defeated monsters you got there - the Russians and the Confederates!

How many people are flag nerds?  Granted, I would expect a higher proportion at an event like CPAC than the general populace, but even so some of them would have thought it was just a coincidence that white, blue and red were in the order of the Russian flag.

If they were going to worry about flags, it would have been about the perfidious Chilean flag emoji being used as a substitute for the Texan flag in text messages!
