Russian flags with Trump's name on them given out-and waved-at CPAC

On the 24th of February, "left-wing operatives" were expelled from CPAC after sucessfully infiltrating this notorious right-wing convention and distributing Russian flags emblazoned with Trump's name. Unaware of the nature or source of the flags, many at the Conservative Political Action Committee or CPAC accepted the flags and began waving them before staffers managed to round them up.
The flags refer to the ongoing scandal concerning Trump's close contacts with Russian intelligence operatives during the election and the related connections to Russian interference in the 2016 election. Some are calling for the impeachment of Donald Trump on the basis of this solicitation of foreign interference in the election. The decision by CPAC organizers to "confiscate" the flags raises questions of theft, as once distributed the flags became legally the property of those posessing them. In MD, misdemeanor theft of property worth less than $100 carries a maximum penalty of 90 days in jail or a fine of $500 but not both.
Talking Points memo credited two operatives from Americans Take Action with getting into CPAC and giving out the flags. CPAC this year is at National Harbor, which is only accessable by one highway ramp from the Beltway and one bike trail, and which has complete control over all usable vehicle parking. It is a difficult target for mass protests, though busses and vans can overcome the access issues, as could a march routed right up the bike trail.

Not only was this fake - but the news media then promptly began reporting the story as if it was serious. Basically broadcasting the impression that the CPAC attendees were pro-russian and brought the russian flags themselves to support russia. That is the very definition of fake news.

Just google CPAC and Russian flags.
There is all sorts of photographic evidence that people were waving Russian flags. Start thinking for yourselves. Just because you voted for Trump and hate liberals, doesn't mean he's never wrong or all criticism of him is "fake news." Don't be sheep. Think for yourselves people.

They're cucks. It's hard to change their minds, unfortunately.

the guy who trolled the CPAC and handed out the Russian flags was from RESIST. It is a far left organization founded in the '60s.
