http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/an-actual-false-flag-operation-at-cpac/ar-AAnkrmO?li=BBmkt5R&ocid=spartanntpTwo men made troubleand stirred up a social-media frenzyon 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 pennantsand took pictures with themuntil 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.
