Steve Bannon ‘blinks Nazi -Grut’ at a conservative conference
While he won the conservative crowd on Thursday evening at the end of his speech, Bannon urged followers to “fight, fight, fight!” Then he paused, took a step back and shot his right arm high into the air in a corner that seemed quite unmistakably.
The display had immediate consequences. On Friday, the French extreme right-wing leader Jordan Bardella canceled his speech in the CPAC, after what he described as a Nazi greeting by a speaker, a clear reference to Bannon.
In a statement, Bardella said: “Yesterday on this stage, while I was not present in the room, one of the speakers admitted himself, as a provocation, a gesture that refers to Nazi ideology. So I made the immediate decision To cancel my intervention to cancel for this afternoon during the event.
Bannon, 71, later denied that he had made a Nazi greetings and told a French journalist that it was actually just a “wave”.
The podcaster destroyed Bardella’s reaction and said, “If he worries it and law like a small child, then he is unworthy and will never lead France.”
But Bardella was not the only one who took offense. Critics swarmed social media, including X, where one person shared the clip and said: “Steve Bannon, after called Trump to be President for life, a Nazi greetings on stage in CPAC. Nazism officially took over the Gop The few remaining conservatives have a choice and hinder it – or choose to be complicit.
Another person agreed: “Steve Bannon plays a Nazi -greeting at the end of his CPAC speech. Someone tries to convince me that he didn’t.”
A third called it, “deeply disturbing”, while another said it was “Doncerning”.

Another person pushed: “Stop making apologies for this Nazi piece S —. The largest generation fought to beat the Nazis in World War II to see them buy the government 78 years later.”
While a third dared: “If what Elon did not be a Nazi greetings, do it at work tomorrow.”
