So we had the tweet that Bob Creamer\u2019s group somehow got into CPAC and passed out a bunch of little flags that looked like the Russian flag and people are waving them around, and that gets tweeted out. And O\u2019Keefe comes along and says, &#8220;No, no, no. Robert Creamer\u2019s group,&#8221; we just explained who that is, &#8220;got in there and gave these things out.&#8221; Anyway, TheHill.com: &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/thehill.com\/blogs\/blog-briefing-room\/news\/320997-cpac-attendees-seen-waiving-russian-flags\">CPAC Attendees Seen Waving Russian Flags.<\/a>&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Crowd at CPAC waving these little pro-Trump flags that look exactly like the Russian flag.

Totally planted stuff. The Drive-By Media probably knows it\u2019s fake and a sabotage attempt. Doesn\u2019t matter. It\u2019s all about perpetuating this silly idea that the Russians actually are the reason Trump is president.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: What happened was these little flags they had, they were branded with &#8220;Trump&#8221; on them, and they were the Russian flag, and they were manufactured by a Democrat hate group, because that\u2019s what the Democrat Party is. The Democrat Party, my friends, is the largest hate group in the country. Bar none. So, anyway, they pass these flags out, and they\u2019ve got &#8220;Trump&#8221; on them. They are facsimiles or replicas of the Russian flag, and people are waving them around and so forth, and then here they come and they come confiscate them because they\u2019re plants.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a good trick, don\u2019t misunderstand. The problem here is there\u2019s coordination between the guy who planted the flags and the media. The media is reporting this as though these Trump people were eager to wave Russian flags, because don\u2019t you know there\u2019s a connection between Trump and the Russians, and everybody that voted for Trump knows if it hadn\u2019t been for the Russians, why, Trump would have never been elected. This is the big lie.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-223204\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Trump-Russia-Flag-300x186.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"186\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Trump-Russia-Flag-300x186.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Trump-Russia-Flag.jpg 504w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>The big lie that is making all of this, all this protest at the town halls, all of this anger in the media &#8212; every bit of opposition to Trump &#8212; is rooted in this false premise that the Russians prevented Hillary from winning by cooperating with Trump and that he welcomed their help. It\u2019s a big, total lie, and it is the fuel for every story that the left is running against Trump and it\u2019s the fuel for all of these protests against Trump in the streets, at town halls, you name it. That one thing. So here we come with a bunch of flags, planted at CPAC today before Trump\u2019s speech.<\/p>\n<p>The Russian flags that say &#8220;Trump&#8221; on them. People are excited Trump\u2019s coming. They\u2019re waving them around.

But the problem here is the media knows this is all BS, and they\u2019re treating this as though it is literally true, that Trump supporters are pro-Russia, that Trump supporters are gratified for Russia and they\u2019re very happy that Russia helped Trump win the election.

It has got to be nuked. It\u2019s got to be exposed, and everybody in the media that\u2019s behind this thing has got to be exposed as knowing full-fledged that they are reporting and carrying a series of lies. As Trump said in his speech: They\u2019re making up sources and they\u2019re &#8220;unnamed.&#8221; And both New York Times stories and the Wall Street Journal story on this have the famous cadre of unnamed sources.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;US officials say&#8230;&#8221; &#8220;Intelligence officials say&#8230;&#8221; It looks very authoritative and it looks extremely weighty.
