Some reporters are saying it's Ryan Clayton from Americans Take Action, who was posing as a journalist to gain access to the hallway.

He was shouting that "This president conspired with the Russian government!" and that ""We should be talking about treason not tax cuts!" I couldn't agree with him more!

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.

“Most people didn’t realize it was a Russian flag, or they didn’t care,” Charter told me in a phone interview. He and Clayton had purchased tickets to CPAC for the day the president was scheduled to speak, and managed to disperse the flags with surprising ease among the crowd.

Starting sometime in the mid-70's people would record the Soviet national anthem over officially sanctioned music that was played at games and other events. So part way through Johnny B. Goode it would cut to The Hymn of the USSR.

It would happen once or twice a year during sporting events, but never on an occasion that was shockingly inappropriate.

When Nancy Reagan was supposed to visit (to certify us a Drug Free School) the AV room was locked down and under guard for practically a month beforehand. Although she stood us up because the Secret Service was taking some dictator's kids to Disneyland.

Millions need to do the same every day...we need to cause so much unrest that the resisters become the distractions and we will start to get taken seriously. We need to boycott companies that support the moron and GOP, fill town halls, and go after every member of the GOP until they can not step foot out in public without getting Russian flags (and other objects) thrown at them. We can not wait for the midterms.

Which is why we need more people doing just this sort of thing. No, he isn't a lunatic. No, he isn't the only one worried about treason. The only security breakdown is the one we had in November 2016.
