The radical left has no limits. Actress and radical left activist Alyssa Milani recently floated a Nazi conspiracy theory that the organizers of this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference deliberately fashioned the main stage to match the shape of a Nazi symbol. The tweet went viral and drew remarks from thousands, including filmmaker Morgan Freeman and NARAL President Ilyse Hogue.

“This is the stage at CPAC. THEY’RE NOT EVEN TRYING TO HIDE IT ANYMORE @hyatt, this is what’s happening in your building. @tedcruz, you stood on this stage,” Milano wrote in a post to her 2.9 million Twitter followers.

The 2021 CPAC took place at the Hyatt Regency in Orlando, Florida over the weekend. The Hyatt hotel chain is currently facing threats from the cancel culture and a #BoycottHyatt hashtag spreading on social media for allowing the conservative political event to be held in the hotel. Hyatt said in a recent statement that conservatives have the right to gather and peacefully express their views, independent of the hotel’s perspective.

“We take pride in operating a highly inclusive environment and we believe that the facilitation of gatherings is a central element of what we do as a hospitality company. We believe in the right of individuals and organizations to peacefully express their views, independent of the degree to which the perspectives of those hosting meetings and events at our hotels align with ours,” a Hyatt spokesperson said.

Lead organizer of CPAC Matt Schlapp ripped left-wing activists for floating the conspiracy theory that the organizers intentionally set up the stage to reflect the Nordic Odal Rune, which reflects Nazi symbolism. He called the claims “outrageous and slanderous.”

“Stage design conspiracies are outrageous and slanderous. We have a long standing commitment to the Jewish community. Cancel culture extremists must address antisemitism within their own ranks. CPAC proudly stands with our Jewish allies, including those speaking from this stage,” Schlapp tweeted.

A hotel chair for Hyatt Hotels Corp told media sources they take concerns regarding “symbols of hate” very seriously and that all aspects of conference logistics are managed by the American Conservative Union. “We take the concern raised about the prospect of symbols of hate being included in the stage design at CPAC 2021 very seriously as all such symbols are abhorrent and unequivocally counter to our values as a company,” the hotel corporation said.

Alyssa Milano is the same celebrity who accused a New York Christmas store of arranging all elf on-the-shelf arms in nazi salutes. She’s also compared Vice President Mike Pence to Henrich Himmler, a Nazi architect of the Holocaust. The left seems to be very familiar with even the most obscure of Nazi symbols that most people have never even seen or heard of.
