Mate, he did the nazi salute twice. If it was a still image you might be able to believe that it was an unintentional part of a larger gesture, but the video shows what it is. It’s a nazi salute. If you don’t want to be compared to nazis, maybe don’t do the nazi salute?
Comment on ADL defends Nazi salute

That’s literally not what this picture depicts.
They’re not “defending a nazi salute”. They’re saying the awkward gesture wasn’t one.
This community exists by the sloppy perception of its readers. You want to be surrounded by Nazis (clearest form of moral imperative from history — for those who’ve only scratched the surface of studying history — providing an easy direction for your life) so badly that you’re willing to ignore the evidence directly in front of your eyes.
The screenshot in this post literally disproves the claim in the title. This is the essence of doublespeak: contradictions in the smallest possible footprint, laid out glaringly and consumed with eager approval.

That’s what you’re doing literally right now. Dude makes a clear Nazi salute and you’re like “naaah surely the ADL can’t be wrong” like no fuck the ADL and their lies.

Dude, watch the video, it’s like 10 seconds long. He does the salute, twice. Not in a “oh this could be construed as something else”, but a full on seig heil. Twice.
He then posted the video of himself doing it on Twitter. Not with any explanations or defense of his actions, just the video.
He gave a Nazi salute and is proud of it. And idiots like you are scrambling to try and give him the benefit of the doubt when literally no doubt exists.
