Ryan Clayton from Americans Take Action, is detained by security officers after throwing Russian flags with the word "Trump" printed on them toward Trump as arrived at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, Tuesday, Oct. 24, 2017, for a lunch with Republican senators.

. . . Clayton, who was arrested at the scene, is a member of the Robert Creamer group"Americans Take Action," according to Project Veritas' James O'Keefe.

"Tuesday's incident wasn't the first time Clayton had used tiny Russian flags as a political prop. Last February, the operative handed out the flags to conservatives attending CPAC in an effort to manufacture an unflattering photo op."

"After the election, O'Keefe's citizen journalism group Project Veritas conducted an investigation into some of the groups planning on disrupting the Trump inauguration.  One of the stings went awry when members of the progressive group "Undercurrent" grew suspicious and turned on the young, female Project Veritas journalist midway through the investigation.

"Clayton and another operative, Lauren Windsor, harassed and intimidated the young woman as she desperately hailed a taxi, tormenting her with obscene taunts for what probably felt like an eternity. As she entered the taxi, both Windsor and Clayton sent Project Veritas Bob Creamer's regards. "You've been creamed!" they shrieked."

"After following the young woman into a taxi and tormenting her with obscene taunts for what probably felt like an eternity, both Windsor and Clayton sent Project Veritas Bob Creamer's regards. "You've been creamed!" they shrieked.

"Robert Creamer is the longtime Alinskyite community organizer, convicted felon, and frequent Obama White House visitor, whose nefarious campaign schemesProject Veritas exposed before the 2016 election."

. . . " 'Clayton was ejected from the restaurant, and the police were called," O'Keefe said. "I confronted him outside as he was surrounded by NYPD about the ridiculous and libelous allegations," he continued, referring to Clayton's crazed taunts accusing him of being a molester.

" 'Violence, agitation, aggression -- these people are unhinged and dangerous," O'Keefe said.

"The next day Clayton posted pictures online of himself in a neck brace -- as if he had been assaulted by someone from Project Veritas." . . .
