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/ …
If you're randomly handed a free flag, instinct is probably to wave it even if you can't immediately identify it.
That wouldn't be my instinct at all. I'd be wondering why it isn't an American flag in this particular scenario, honestly.
I agree, but Tracey's point is valid. It's an instinct many people have, for better or for worse.
If you don't know the Russian flag (most there would not) it just looks like a generic pro-Trump flag.
