Oops! #CPAC scrambles to control damage after attendees wave Russian flags during #Trump speech http://www.rawstory.com/2017/02/cpac-scrambles-to-control-damage-after-attendees-wave-russian-flags-during-trump-speech/ …

Staffers at CPAC quickly scrambled to confiscate Russian flags with the word “TRUMP” on the front that were being waved by attendees during President Donald Trump’s speech on Friday.

The trouble began when some staffers handed out pro-Trump flags to wave during the president’s speech that also happened to have the same white-blue-and-red striped pattern as Russian’s official flag.

If so, it was brilliant!

[Takket]

41. There is no way that is an accident lol

And how dumb are these people to not know what was happening!!! Lol

[Blue_Roses]

3. WTF?

[Johnny2X2X]

4. Hilarious

Hilarious for Reps, but you know if this had happened at a speech of Obama's the Cons on TV and in Congress would have turned this into the biggest scandal in history. FlagGate!!! It would have been an impeachable offense.

Most of the fools there probably have no clue what the Russian flag looks like.

[Arkansas Granny]

17. Yes, they would have had Obama shipped off to Gitmo before the day was out.

[Cosmocat]

53. YEP

This assholes are everything they ginned themselves up to believe that BHO was ...

[okieinpain]

30. +1 n/t.

[kysrsoze]

5. It gets more bizarre every day.

[Scarsdale]

64. Bye bye

Ship this bloated orange ass to Russia. Send Beavis, Butthhead and Ivanka to. Maleria's communist parents and her sister can go along.

[Blaukraut]

6. Oh, why the hell not...might as well roll with it now n/t

[wildeyed]

[Jarqui]

Another dangerous act by this administration ... risking people contemplating the administration's actions and laughing themselves to death

[malaise]

[njhoneybadger]

10. That's fucking nuts

[dalton99a]

11. And they were distributed by CPAC staff

[Gidney N Cloyd]

12. Just "happened to have" the same colors? Waiting for the rest of this story.

[sheshe2]

13. Now that is ...

[C_U_L8R]

14. That's either genius punking

or Republicans are dumber than anyone could ever imagine.

Or both.

[Beartracks]

21. The answer is C: All of the above. n/t

[spedtr90]

60. They're dumb

Remember the campaign ad with footage of veterans? Veterans in Russian uniforms with chests full of Russian medals! Absolutely stupid.

[BumRushDaShow]

15. Holy shit.

Edit to note I just saw an article claiming the CPAC staffers were supposedly removing the flags vs giving them out.

News at 11!

[panader0]

16. Breathtaking stupidity---or was it on purpose?

[anneboleyn]

48. I think they were trolled. Too stupid to notice.

[Botany]

18. I just pissed myself a little

Our side knows how to have fun.

Thermonuclear Troll Job.

[Leghorn21]

19. Haha, a tweet:

@Maxwell_Weiss

@TimAlberta- - Dissertation Level Trolling

7:38 AM - 24 Feb 2017 from Brooklyn, NY

[dchill]

28. Precisely.

[SFnomad]

20. Ronnie "Red Ink" RayGun is rolling in his grave n/t

[TalenaGor]

22. its like a whole treasonous movement...

I just wonder how many people had no idea what they were doing and how many knew exactly...

[haele]

23. Hey, they're patriotic colors - red, white, and blue, with the White on top like it's supposed to be

Just such a convenient design. I'm sure no one realized it was the Russian Flag when they put in the order...
After all, America First, and the rest of the world doesn't exist! USA, USA!

Haele

[MineralMan]

24. Idiotas!

Dumbasses! Most didn't even know what they were waving. I wonder who made those and handed them out.

[meow2u3]

25. Proof positive that repukes are traitors to our country

They're all pledging allegiance to Russia instead of the United States!

#traitorTrump #GOPTraitors #TrumpRussia

[onenote]

59. So was I a traitor when I protested the Vietnam War?

The repubs at CPAC got punked and it was glorious. But claiming that waving a Russian flag is "proof positive" of treason? Puh-leeze. What next, demands that we all say the pledge of allegiance and take loyalty oaths?

[drm604]

26. That's hilarious.

[asiliveandbreathe]

27. OMG - truly hilarious...if they were giving them to audience -

Absolute stupidity - If they were being collected.(I wouldn't give mine back) - genius..genius I tell ya'..

I'm sorry for speculating..let's all enjoy the moment....

[Binders Keepers]

31. Maybe the Trump campaign made and distributed them

as a love offering to Pootie.

[blueseas]

32. Haha

[Aviation Pro]

33. Cue Eduard Khil'

[keithbvadu2]

73. Had to look it up.... Neat!

[NurseJackie]

34. I can think of only one response ...

[NastyRiffraff]

35. Look at the people waving them!

It's doubtful that they know the significance of what they're waving so enthusiastically.

This is propaganda at its extreme. Have the dumbfucks do your work for you.

[TransitJohn]

36. They're doing it on purpose, probably think it's funny or something

[MFM008]

37. I'm so old I remember

When that would have been shocking.
supposed Americans waving Russian flags.

[Blue_Tires]

38. lol

[librechik]

39. TRUMP letters in GOLD on originals--how humble and unassuming

and revealing of Cons motives and agenda

glad they got punked! Brilliant

[Mr. Ected]

40. If we don't stop them

This will be the officially-sanctioned flag at the next CPAC meeting.

[Stinky The Clown]

42. LOSERS

[Fritz Walter]

43. Next time, they should spell his name in Cyrillic, just to really drive home the point

I'd pay good money for one of those!

[Leghorn21]

50. Ohhh, good one, Fritz!! Meanwhile, I want one of these flags! It'd be deeply collectible, non?! eom

[jmbar2]

44. Infowars credits Ryan Clayton from Bob Creamer group Americans Take Action for the prank.

Don't know if it's true, but if so, he is my new hero.

[Fast Walker 52]

46. that is a BRILLIANT prank!

[pinboy3niner]

67. It was TWO guys--Ryan Clayton and Jason Charter

Each has been credited separately (see the two links below), but Charter posted on Facebook that it was "Me and Ryan Clayton."

Ryan Clayton is responsible for the Russian flag prank at CPAC

Here's the guy who punk'd CPAC with Russian flags

[Fast Walker 52]

45. I'm sure it's just a coincidence that those Trump flags are identical to the Russian flag!

[anneboleyn]

47. CPAC just got trolled. Big time. Dumb asses didn't even wonder why they weren't waving

American flags. Somebody trolled CPAC hard, and they showed how a bunch of dumb Trump lovers will wave the Russian flag in honor of their master.

[yellowcanine]

49. Infowars and James O'Keefe having sad on that it wasn't reported as a prank.

This was Ryan Clayton from Bob Creamer group "Americans Take Action" handing Russian flags. Ryan was forcibly removed. You edited that out.

O'Keefe is probably kicking himself that he did not think up a stunt like that to pull on Democrats.

USA will become another Russian satellite country.

54. were they made in china?...n/t

[MineralMan]

55. This was executed by a master prankster, for sure.

I'm very envious. My days of active pranking are over now, but this was brilliant. Conning the con men. Always an easy thing to do.

56. Jeezus f'in Christ, these guys are running our country

57. How mindlessly they follow....

Definitely not a collection of Americas greatest thinkers...

[ismnotwasm]

65. Trump no doubt picked the color and design

In an effort to make his name stand out

70. There's Probably Knuckleheads Down At CPAC.....

saying they weren't no damn Rusky flags, where was the hammer and sickle? So at the very least it was an educational experience for them.

[snort]

71. Damn,

those fuckers are stupid.

[Cha]

72. Why not? russia got their stupid idiot in there.. Just how stupid are

his staffers?

[bigtree]

75. kick

[Fritz Walter]

76. Order your flags here!

Did anyone else notice that these geniuses pulled this prank on a Russian national holiday? "Defender of the Fatherland Day" is celebrated on February 23, and the public holiday is the 24th. Brilliant!

But don't despair: there's still plenty of time to order your very own Trump Traitor Flag, in two sizes:
Small -- as seen on TV/Twitter
Large -- to wave in front of your clueless neighbors.

May Day -- or what's now referred to as "Spring and Labour Day" -- is just around the corner, and this year will be the 100th anniversary of the October Revolution that ushered in the Soviets (Putin's party).

Order your flags here.

Спасибо!
