        One of the activists screamed "Putin's puppet!" during Trump's speech. Their goal is to impeach Trump over Russia. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/02/false-flag-operation-at-cpac/517842/ …

        Newsflash: most people aren't obsessed with Russia. Mediocre college kids going to CPAC not typically known for their worldly knowledge.

        I think most people who saw the original tweet assumed it was a prank. I certainly did.

        I tend to doubt it. Tweet gives the impression that pro-Trump, pro-Russia attendees decided to bring/wave their own flags.

        The caption that "Staffers quickly come around to confiscate them" indicates they were not part of the CPAC program, fwiw.

        Impression the tweet gives is that a bunch of pro-Trump fans decided on their own initiative to brandish Russian flags.
