First Elon Musk, Now Steve Bannon: "All I Was Doing Was Wave to the Audience"


The latest example of Drama Queenery comes from France via CPAC, where Jordan Bardella pulled out of a scheduled speech because a speaker there, Steve Bannon, allegedly made a "gesture referring to Nazi ideology". 

The BBC's Brandon Drenon:

"If he cancelled [the speech] over what the mainstream media said about the speech, he didn't listen to the speech. If that's true, he's unworthy to lead France. He's a boy, not a man," Bannon told the French news magazine Le Point. 

At the Reagan Dinner Friday night, the head of the War Room again said: "All I did was wave to the audience."

As I have said in the past,  

few fascists ever, few Nazis ever gave the fascist/Nazi salute from the heart, as Elon Musk did. Whether in Italy, in Spain, in Portugal, or in Germany, the arm went straight up from the side as the individual is standing still. Aye, there is the rub: the salute is traditionally formal, given as a soldier standing still by an "inferior" to a "superior" at the outset of an event or only when asked (when commanded) to do so. Thus we see lines of Nazis, in uniform or civilian attire, all doing the Führergruß together, mechanically, at exactly the same time
Back in Paris, as a guest on Sud Radio, ROF's Vanessa Biard-Schaeffer gave her take on the allegations…
