CPAC's stage in 2021 which looked like a Norse rune used by the Nazis.

Yikes. Was it ever confirmed deliberate?

They would never admit to it if it was.

You say that, but these are the same idiots that posted the "we're all domestic terrorists" to a signboard, so you never know...

See, to me, that is far less crafty and far more stupid. If this was an attempt to troll with a slavery dog whistle, that's far more subtle and they aren't subtle.

Not that I know of. The Odal rune is obscure enough to the average person that they have plausible deniability, so unless we find design documents or get a confession it's basically impossible to prove.

No, when they arrived at the venue it was already in place.
