Hyatt criticizes CPAC over stage resembling Nazi symbol, ‘hostility’ to employees

Hyatt Hotels distanced itself further from the stage design at the CPAC 2021 conference in Orlando this past weekend, saying it would have scrapped the layout if it knew about its resemblance to a Nazi symbol. The hotel chain also criticized CPAC attendees for the “disrespect” it showed employees who asked them to follow company policy and Orange County law requiring masks because of the pandemic.

In response, CPAC’s attorney issued a letter accusing Hyatt of “slanderous” and “false and malicious claims” and said Hyatt was involved in every step of the design process. A CPAC spokesman also said Hyatt employees in Orlando were grateful for the business of the Conservative Political Action Conference, which drew ex-President Trump and a bevy of top Republican leaders. Despite the dispute, CPAC still hasn’t ruled out holding the event at the Hyatt again, or a possible return to Orlando.

The stage at the Hyatt Regency Orlando, a diamond shape with bent extensions branching off, resembles an Odal rune, a symbol used on some Nazi uniforms. The Nazi symbol was used by white nationalist groups at the Charlottesville protest in 2017.

The Left are completely over-the-top in pushing the phony white supremacist meme, which means they are up to no good (but that is their default position).

What do they expect? Hyatt is owned by the family of IL Rat. Gov. Prickster.

#4. Not another stinking leftist Pritzker (Gov, rich bitch wife, etc)!

If I were CPAC, I would tell this chairman of the Hyatt Hotels that they are suggesting to all conservatives that they boycott all Hyatt hotels until Pritzker apologies to them for what he/his company said about the stage design.

Let money talk and Pritzker walk.

#7. I love Lemon Jello. Has one of the best tastes around, esp. with sweet whipped cream.

There are a bunch of keywords on this article that have 1 article listed - this one. Apparently, this symbol hasn’t been used by anyone, or there’s be loaded keywords.

I woke up this morning and had the usual visit to the toilet for a morning pee.

I noticed that the ye;llow stream accidentally formed a swastika pattern in the toilet.

I was horrified!

Schocked ! I tell you!

I immediately wrote a letter of intent to the MOEN Corporation who manufactured my toilet.

How dare they make my urine stream into such an intolerable pattern!

( The HATE is strong in these liberal fascists who live in fear of THE PEOPLE.......piss on them! )

It is also upside down and the square part is filled in. If a “P” was upside down and the loop filled in it is a picture of a shovel.

“Despite the dispute, CPAC still hasn’t ruled out holding the event at the Hyatt again, ...”

THAT! THAT RIGHT THERE is EVERYTHING that’s dead wrong with the GOP.

That, and a terse, but otherwise impotent letter.

Oh, MY! Whatever shall Hyatt management do?!

This sort of flakey crap is why I have been registered to no party for 20 years.
And I’m continually reminded by the GOP how I’m not EVEN sorry.

It looks like a star to me in the logo, partially covered up.

How absurd.
