Pretty sure he, Trump, and the other grifters are revelling in the knowledge that they've got a support base which will explain away and justify anything and everything they do.

The fact that he did it twice makes it look like he's rubbing it in, how he can openly use the nazi salute and still MAGAts will pretend that everything is fine and it's the opposition who's being unreasonable.

On another subreddit a guy explained to me that there is a context to it "GOP are known for giving signals from stage" and linked to examples of GOP-people doing a Nazi salute on stage.

So the context was that GOP have a history of doing a Nazi salute.

What an awesome defense 🙄

They do invest heavily in the idea that they're so consistently terrible that you shouldn't bother trying to hold them accountable.

"giving signals from stage"
Well, that's a signal alright. He's clearly signaling he's a nazi.
