Crowd at CPAC waving these little pro-Trump flags that look exactly like the Russian flag. Staffers quickly come around to confiscate them. pic.twitter.com/YhPpkwFCNc

The reason why you are seeing Russian flags at a CPAC event is quite simple.

This was Ryan Clayton from Bob Creamer group "Americans Take Action" handing Russian flags. Ryan was forcibly removed. You edited that out. https://t.co/hKwywREjn5

23K retweets, no mention that the flags were distributed as a prank by a pair of self-proclaimed "Resistance" activists pic.twitter.com/5PXyvDNzOd

The Russian flags handed out to people at CPAC were part of a prank by Trump protestors. That simple. No secret Russian plot to hijack the CPAC. No Trump signaling to Putin. It was a prank.
