"A man in a suit attacked President trump with some sort of flag thrown at the president"
Some sort? Haha they can't say it.

(182,826 posts)4. He handed out Russian flags in Feb at CPAC and they waved them

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.
Most people didnt realize it was a Russian flag, or they didnt 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.
We will continue doing these actions until Trump is impeached.

And of course those who took the flags had no clue - does Trump??
