Just so you know: The fact that 1,000 CPAC attendees are too dumb to recognize the Russian flag.....

....is "fake news" according to several talking points across social media.

The very real fact that 1,000 people were handed a Russian flag with Trump's name on it by an adventurous prankster and were completely unaware of its significance or irony of waiving it while shouting "USA"....is completely fake and bogus.

Yeah, I don't get it, either.
