Steve Bannon makes gesture resembling Nazi salute at conservative conference
forward.com
Steve Bannon raised his arm in a gesture that resembled a Nazi salute during a speech Thursday at the Conservative Policy Action Conference. Bannon, the far-right firebrand who was a senior adviser to President Donald Trump during his first term and last year served four months in prison for contempt of Congress, made the gesture...

The move by Trump’s provocative former adviser came a month after Elon Musk’s controversial salute on inauguration day

    It’s a FUCKING NAZI SALUTE, YOU FECKLESS MILQUETOAST SCUMBAGS.

    How HARD would it have been to write “STEVE BANNON ALSO MAKES NAZI SALUTE AT CONSERVATIVE CONFERENCE”?

    God, this shit makes me so fucking angry.

      Upvote for the video. Reading the headline made me think there was some level of questionable concept for IF it was a nazi salute.

      Watching the video you provided erased all doubt. The headline went soft. It should have been:

      Steve Bannon makes nazi salute gesture at conservative conference because he, and the Trump party are full on going nazi.

      See how MY version leaves no room for second guessing? That’s what they should have wrote.

        “Heil” translates to “Hail”, and these folks are – believe it or not – not German.

      Absolutely

      As I said in another post, It’s tiring this tiptoeing around the facts.

      Especially from a Jewish journal. Learning from history, they should know better than pulling punches with Nazism.

    Resembling? Yeah, sure. He also engaged in rhythmical chest expansions resembling breathing, and arrived at the podium by putting one foot in front of the other, in a manner that might be interpreted as walking in some circles…

    For fuck’s sake, the word mincing is driving me fucking insane…

    The media has been doing this for over a year with a genocide. They’ve been doing it for decades, probably centuries, with racism, imperialism, etc. It’s the job of capitalist media to cover for capitalism, fascism, etc.

    Ofc they’ll do it for a nazi hand gesture.

    This time they can’t say it’s a “my heart goes out to you” gesture, as Bannon has no heart.
