A short thread on #CPAC2021's unusual stage, which is clearly in the shape of a well known Nazi symbol.
It is also a symbol in use today by American extremists.
Matt Schlapp and the CPAC leadership need to explain how this could have happened.

Would be easy for Matt Schlapp to address this today, apologize and make some small changes to the stage.
Would make it clear it was a mistake and that CPAC doesn't want any one to believe they are giving any more aid and comfort to American extremists than they already are.

If a Dem group learned their stage was in the shape of a Nazi/American Neo-Nazi symbol, they would apologize, and change the stage.
Instead it appears Schlapp is plowing ahead, and will put the former President on that stage tomorrow.
It's a mistake.
