If he just made a mistake with the salute, surely he’d apologize and say it wasn’t intended, right? Right??
Comment on He's totally not a Nazi tho

This adds to an ever-growing list of things.
-
He created a safe space for Nazis on his platform
-
He amplified pro-Nazi content on his platform
-
He offered support for Germany’s far-right AfD party, which uses Nazi symbolism in its posters.
-
He did not one, but two Nazi salutes during Trump’s inauguration.
-
He’s endorsed established antisemetic conspiracy theories such as the “great replacement” conspiracy theory.
-
After receiving backlash for the two Nazi salutes that he did at Trump’s inauguration, instead of apologizing, he posted Nazi puns.
All the gaslighting from his supporters with “you can’t read his mind” “he’s autistic” and “it was a Roman salute/my heart goes out to you” is quite frankly an insult to people’s intelligence.

Three salutes. Two to the podium, he then turned and did 1 more to the people behind and above him.
Most video only showed the first 2

And the public (selected as partisan people) immediately cheered, without any confusion or protest.
People don’t show that enough. The public reaction is more important than the original gesture.
