WASHINGTON - Hyatt Hotels Corp called symbols of hate “abhorrent” on Sunday after the design of a stage at the Conservative Political Action Conference at one of its hotels drew comparisons to a Norse rune used by Nazis during World War Two.
A photo of the CPAC stage went viral on social media on Saturday, with thousands of Twitter users sharing posts comparing its distinctive design to an othala rune, one of many ancient European symbols that Nazis adopted to “reconstruct a mythic ‘Aryan’ past,” according to the Anti-Defamation League.
The ceiling of the conference room featured a lighting display in the same shape as the stage, according to Reuters photographs.
Hyatt said all aspects of conference logistics, including the stage design, were managed by the American Conservative Union, which organized the conference.
The comparisons were “outrageous and slanderous,” Matt Schlapp, American Conservative Union chair, said in a Twitter post on Saturday. He added the organization had a “long standing commitment to the Jewish community” and that the conference featured several Jewish speakers.

Wow, thinking alike at exactly the same time!

Screw Julia Harte and all the other liars in media...

It’s accurate.
Put NOTHING past a leftist. Their mental state is one of continuous hate and bitterness. Only God can fix what is death in their spirit.
I am a pretty fair student of World War II, and I’ve never seen that. You would have to look at Atlas Obscura to find that connection. Maybe it’s really a Nazi lapel thing, but nothing but a collector would know that.
Now let’s talk about the red star over America in the jeep commercial and in several democrat events.
How old is that pic? 25 years?
Nothing can be in a circle now because it’s the center feature of the Nazi “A-okay” symbol, as well.
But Qanon, meanwhile, is a “crazy conspiracy theory.”
You know who else breathed air? Literally HITLER!!!!!! If you want to go around breathing air and being literally like HITLER all over the place, go ahead, bigots!!
I also think the rune was done on purpose by the contractor or designer
There is no denying the fact it is a perfect representation
The design only looks similar from that angle. The arms are almost the same length as the sides of the box, not 1/2 the length. There’s also a bar across the top, so it’s not even kind-of the same design..
Honi soit qui mal y pense
Communism is a mental disorder, and Communists are what these “woke” people are.
