An ACTUAL false-flag operation at CPAC

http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/an-actual-false-flag-operation-at-cpac/ar-AAnkrmO?li=BBmkt5R&ocid=spartanntp


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.

That's hilarious. But can we call it a literal false flag operation? Given the extent to which conservatives, Trump, and his Trumplicans are in bed with Russia, wouldn't it be a "true flag operation"?

The TRUMP in golden thread was a really great touch, though.

God, they're stupid.
