YES, THEY NAILED 'EM!

Slow news day for the HuffPo, so I guess they had to make a story up!

So glad they ID'd this jackass. Even sweeter that he was a HuffPo writer.

Why does the HuffPo keep a stockpile of Russian flags in the first place?

O’Keefe is still pretty good at nailing these disingenuous pukes every now and then.

So, reporting fake news is no longer enough, they must CREATE their own Fake News and become the news?

Any conservative questioned by the media about this should reply that the “real story” is that the Russians have added Trump’s name to their flag. When contradicted, point out that the entire story is a manufactured lie.

Someone needs to get to the bottom of who FUNDED this perverse stunt?

1000+ little Russian flags specially printed with “Trump” had to cost thousands of dollars, I would think. Some minor journalist was not going to fund this out of pocket, this was bought and paid for by one of the hateful leftist entities.

Breitbart needs to run an article on this!

The left is communist and they do not even know who they truly are. From the hippie days to now, the left has become both Marxist and fascists and will become the Russians they pretend to hate. Unless the Islamic terrorist destroy them first. It is a race to keep America free from these brainwashed children now days.

"Why does the HuffPo keep a stockpile of Russian flags in the first place?"

They had Trump's name on them, so it was probably some sort of special order from one of those places where you can order custom hats, t-shirts, etc. The main question is whether HuffPo authorized this guy to do what he did, or if he did it on his own.

If the former, it is completely unprofessional and unethical for a news organization to sponsor a prank of this sort. If the latter, it is completely unprofessional and unethical for a "journalist" to act in this manner.

Yes, see if HuffPo or a Dim PAC footed the bill to produce those little gems!

Why doesn’t HuffPoo report on Communists in allegiance with Democrats at Code Pink “anti-war” rallies? Endorsing Hitlery Clinton for President? Printing protest banners for the anti-Trump rallies and riots?

"1000+ little Russian flags specially printed with “Trump” had to cost thousands of dollars, I would think. Some minor journalist was not going to fund this out of pocket, this was bought and paid for by one of the hateful leftist entities."

I've designed custom t-shirts through one of those on-line companies, and a single t-shirt can easily cost you $20 or more. Of course, the cost per item goes down with volume purchases, and I don't know what the cost of a small flag would be relative to the cost of a t-shirt.

But, at the very least, this would cost hundreds of dollars, and possibly - as you suggest - several thousand dollars, a pricey tab for a one-off prank. This suggests some sort of institutional funding, not one journalist paying out of his own pocket.

Should a handed out this Russian flag. It would have been peaches and cream to the news media. Of course the COLORS may cause problems. At least there are no stars in the blue to offend people. Just one red star.
