NextImg:Steve Bannon's Apparent Nazi Salute At CPAC Causes A Furor On Social Media
LOADINGERROR LOADING

Steve Bannon caused a furor on Thursday after he was seen giving a Nazi salute at Day 2 of the Conservative Political Action Conference.

Donald Trump’s former adviser made the gesture during a speech where he called for his fearless leader to run for an unconstitutional third term, telling the crowd, “We want Trump in ’28.”

Near the end of his speech, Bannon told the crowd that “the only way we lose is if we quit” and vowed not to surrender. He then yelled “fight, fight, fight” before raising his right arm with his palm down.

Yes, there’s video.

Bannon’s “salute” comes weeks after his “frenemy” and fellow Trump toadie Elon Musk did a similar display of fealty at an inaugural celebration last month.

Although some people claimed Musk’s salute wasn’t intended to evoke the Nazis, Bannon didn’t get the benefit of doubt.

In fact, Jordan Bardella, president of France’s National Rally (RN) party, was scheduled to speak at CPAC on Friday, but canceled because “one of the speakers out of provocation allowed himself a gesture alluding to Nazi ideology.” according to France24.

Kanye West also seemed disappointed at Bannon’s gesture ― or at least the fact he seemed to get away with it ― and posted, “Whits guys have all the fun.”

White supremacist Nick Fuentes also seemed taken aback by Bannon’s salute, and admitted, “It’s getting a little uncomfortable even for a guy like me! I feel like that guy in that picture who wouldn’t heil Hitler.”

Naturally, the video of the salute was a big topic on social media, with many people disturbed at how Republicans and conservatives seem quite OK with normalizing Nazism.

Last night, Steve Bannon was on stage at CPAC — the premier gathering of conservatives every year — and unambiguously did a Nazi salute on stage.

No excuses of "awkwardness" or "autism" or "throwing his heart out."

He did it. On purpose.

Not one Republican has said a word.

Steve Bannon, after calling for Trump to be President for life, did a Nazi salute on stage at CPAC.

Nazism has officially taken over the GOP.

The few remaining conservatives have a choice: either leave the party and obstruct it—or choose to be complicit.pic.twitter.com/94o5Kj69Le

Stop calling it conservatism. This isn’t conservatism, this is insanity. https://t.co/VDGDHt03vc

When I see Steve Bannon doing a Nazi salute to cheers it means only one thing:

420,000 U.S. troops died defending our country from Nazi assholes and 77 million people voted for them to be in power.

MAGA betrayed our country voting for this nightmare.
