CPAC Crowd Duped Into Waving Russian Flags During Trump Speech.
Moles played a prank at the Conservative Political Action Conference that had members proudly waving tiny banners emblazoned with the name “Trump” that were actually Russian flags.
The pranksters passed 1,000 red-white-and-blue Russian flags before Donald Trump’s speech at the conservative confab in Maryland on Friday. Audience members scooped them up and waved them enthusiastically as Trump railed against the media.
He also tweeted a series of attacks earlier against the FBI, accusing it of leaking information that the White House had pressured the bureau to publicly dispute reports of contact between Trump’s aides and Russia.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.The prank assumes that the Republicans didn't realize that they were Russian flags, or they would consider it a negative to fly the flag of Russia.
Meanwhile -
"Times have changed and so have Republican attitudes toward Russia.
The GOP is no longer the party of Ronald Reagan. The Grand Old Party is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Trump Organization. NBC News just released a survey that illustrates the transition. Only 10 percent of Republican partisans saw Russia as the greatest immediate threat to the United States. Nearly Five times as many Democrats (47 percent) saw Russia as the biggest threat to American national security.
The results of a recent Gallup Poll make the same point. Since 2014, the percentage of Republicans who consider Russia an ally has almost doubled from 22 percent to 40 percent."
