As the Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC) convention kicked off on Thursday, left-wing online activists have developed a conspiracy theory alleging that the stage design used by the organization is some sort of secret Nazi code.
Hey @Hyatt: you cool with @CPAC building a Nazi symbol stage in your hotel?

Because it seems like you're cool with @CPAC building a Nazi symbol stage in your hotel?

Are you okay with Nazi symbols being used on your properties?
Because if you fail to speak out & do something about this immediately, I’ll be sure to no longer patronize any of your properties ever again. #CPAC2021 #CPACstage #CPACNazi pic.twitter.com/beFauYAMwO
Seeing messages today amazed that the @GOP and CPAC are so willing to use Nazi symbols and thought they could get away with it. Never forget, they think Americans are stupid and will fall for anything. Sunlight is the best disinfectant. They got caught being who they are.

Here is a well known Nazi symbol and the stage design at the 2021 #CPAC Convention. What a wacky coincidence! #CPAC2021 pic.twitter.com/ZM5Q38XoBQ

.@Hyatt, the #CPAC stage is designed to be a rune used by the Nazis. Curious if you are okay with Nazi symbols being used on your properties like this? pic.twitter.com/XoZeV9BiLG

The conspiracy theorists have asserted without evidence that the stage was intentionally designed to appear in the shape of the Odal rune, a proto-Germanic symbol which was later appropriated by the Nazis.
CPAC organizers have vehemently denied the claims, while some have insisted that the organizers should change the stage design.
The conspiracy theory was quickly debunked by right-wing social media users, noting that the full stage does not resemble the symbol.

CPAC speakers mocked the claims made by the conspiracy theorists, with OANN's Jack Posobiec expressing faux concern that the stage he was standing on may resemble something related to the far-right.

No evidence has been put forward that the stage was intentionally designed to appear in the shape of the Odal rune.
