International Steve Bannon's "Nazi" salute prompts France's Bardella to cancel CPAC

[Hdfi]

French right-wing leader Jordan Bardella on Friday cancelled his speech at the conservative Cpac conference in Washington after what he described as a Nazi salute by a speaker, an apparent reference to Steve Bannon, his National Rally (RN) party said.

So what do you guys think? Was it a coincidence or not?

He it did on purpose. He's part of White (Nationalist) MAGA.

Can we see more than a still shot? That would tell the real story. Bannon knows what he did just like Elon does. Not any amount of gaslighting will change that.

They're doing it on purpose.

The one benefit of this presidency is it's showing us who's who. All the nasties are getting very comfortable coming out in the open. It's also showing us all the holes in the hull.

No we can't, because it wasn't a nazi salute? That's my point. Obama wasn't doing it. Just as the others weren't doing it either. Try and focus on something that actually matters.

You really believe in this stuff, eh?

You know, growing up, I'd hear about propaganda in school and I always doubted its power over people but I've seen it in real time over the past few years, people really will believe anything and can very easily have their fear used against them.

No offense, we're all guilty of it in some form or another. This Nazi salute thing though, seems particularly weak.

You delusional idiots feigning ignorance once again and trying to deny, defend, deflect. Come the fuck on. I'm a white man of conservative values. It's another dog whistle to the more extreme of the right. Just as Elons was. Only Bannon ,I think, has at least some conviction to his beliefs. As opposed to Elon. The shape shifting billionaire chameleon.

Silliness. I'm glad you guys have doubled down on the Nazi stuff though, it worked out really well for republicans in the last election. Keep it up.

I'm not sure why Vinyard was so hostile, this guy was clearly sending his heart out to him:

Why do you think so many conservative leaders keep accidently doing Nazi salutes at political rallies?

The salute during Bannon’s speech brought cheers from the audience at the US gathering.

Bardella, who was in Washington ahead of his appearance and had said he intended to talk about relations between the US and France, issued a statement saying: “Yesterday, while I was not present in the room, one of the speakers, out of provocation, allowed himself a gesture alluding to Nazi ideology. I therefore took the immediate decision to cancel my speech that had been scheduled this afternoon.”

What stuff? my own eyes?

Pretty ballsy to call other people as victims of propaganda when you were effectively gaslighted to doubt your own eyes.

Im not saying they are Nazis, merely that for some reason they are deciding to do fucking nazi salutes in public.

My guess is that they are just pushing the boundaries on how much they can get away with shit, they make a nazi salute and even the fucking ADL that sees anti-semitism in fucking plushies came out to say Elon is cool.

So they are taking it for their own as a way to show that they support Elon and Trump
