The Conservative Political Action Conference ejected its second troublemaker in as many days on Friday, tossing out a liberal activist who distributed miniature Russian flags – emblazoned with 'TRUMP' – for fans of the president to wave.

Ryan Clayton, a liberal activist, was escorted off the property of the suburban Washington hotel where CPAC is held annually.

CPAC spokesman Ian Walter confirmed Clayton's identity in an email to DailyMail.com.

Conference security quickly collected dozens of the flags, passed out before Donald Trump's mid-morning speech. 'If you're waving them, you will be removed,' one guard told attendees.

8. An Actual False-Flag Operation at CPAC

Two men made trouble—and stirred up a social-media frenzy—on the third day of the Conservative Political Action Conference by conducting a literal false-flag operation.

Jason Charter, 22, and Ryan Clayton, 36, passed out roughly 1,000 red, white, and blue flags, each bearing a gold-emblazoned “TRUMP” in the center, to an auditorium full of attendees waiting for President Trump to address the conference. Audience members waved the pennants—and took pictures with them—until CPAC staffers realized the trick: They were Russian flags.

The stunt made waves on social media, as journalists covering CPAC noticed the scramble to confiscate the insignia.
