Does CPAC Stage Represent A Nazi Symbol? Hyatt Hotels Responds To Controversial Event

The Conservative Political Action Conference is known for making headlines with the speakers that are featured, and with the specter of former President Donald Trump hanging over the 2021 event, all eyes are on what will be said or announced. However, the stage for the event seems to be the thing that is actually making more headlines than the speeches.
While speeches by known Trump supporters, including Rep. Matt Gaetz, Kimberly Guilfoyle and Senator Ted Cruz have led to some reaction, the stage they all stood on at the conference has also sparked some conversation on social media specifically after many noted the shape of it, and that it resembled a relic of Nazi Germany.
Honor Roll
The pandemic-fueled shift to online college learning proved a boon to Boca Raton-based Honorlock, an online test proctor founded by two Florida Atlantic University graduates.
Honorlock last year placed No. 236 on Inc.’s fast-grower list with 1,860% three-year growth. It raised $11.5 million in March as it plans to add to its 80 employees, further expand in the domestic market and develop the corporate and international market. Along with FAU and FIU, the company has UF and other Florida institutions as clients among several hundred nationally.
It’s led by CEO Michael Hemlepp, an investor who bought in along with Boca investor Dan Cane, who before co-founding Modernizing Medicine founded ed tech companies Blackboard and CourseInfo.
