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.

May Oui! :-)
LOL
Might as will just tweak then and say “we didn’t know that, but it’s kinda a cool coincidence since we intend to attack communists “. Then sit back and watch them sputter and spin themselves up. Maybe we’ll get lucky and a few might pop a critical vessel.
Tres bien!
It’s amazing what makeup and lighting can do. I seriously doubt she looks anything near that photo now.
Aren’t the Hyatt hotel chain owned by the Pritzker family? As in JB Pritzker ultra-liberal Governor of Illinois?
The Viking/Norwegan/Norse alphabet used throughout is now a symbol of hate, despite Norway being an ally of the Reich in the same sense as France or Poland. Perhaps we should outlaw French.
How are Divers supposed to signal they are OK now??
>>These people are absolutely deranged.<<
Yep. Finding a white demon behind every bush. Freakin delusional.
All such design or related work must be in-sourced henceforth. They goes for MyPillow.com etc lest some leftist saboteur at an outsourcing firm puts fiberglass etc into the stuffing.
Runes were like memes at one time.
The Left has a small contingent in their internet army of keyboard warriors who do nothing but look for absurd comparisons to trigger conservatives and keep them on the defensive.
They’re seeing a similarity between the Odal symbol and the CPAC logo? Seriously? What are these people smoking.
Confirmation bias in its purest form.
It’s a barracks at the US Marine base in San Diego. You can see it on google earth.
I’m offended that the liberal communist left is offended.
Since I’m offended, they must disband immediately!
That IS interesting.
But how many of us knew about this symbol until these profligate hand-wringers brought it up?
My God, this is EXACTLY the kind of thing I just mentioned to my husband...how I didn’t know all these words as racial epithets until craven liberals start bellyaching about it! To wit “coon” which people in my home neighborhood whined about and changed street name after 40 years because it had that word in it! I lived 5 min bike ride from there and never, ever did I know that word was “bad” and “racially offensive”.
Same deal here.
The “Anti-Defamation League”, just like the Southern Poverty Law Center, a far-leftist, hate-America outfit who will tell any lie, no matter how outrageous, to push forward the commie agenda.
Crock of Hyatt ****. Thanks RACPE.
