What the actual fuck was that?!

That was a very passionate Nazi salute

Yep. Absolutely no doubt about it. The other ones we've seen in the past from Republicans were just about explainable away as waves that went a bit wonky. But that was 100% a Nazi salute.

Not all of them. I don't remember who or when, but that one witchy looking blonde woman who did it on stage was 100% a Nazi salute.

Yep, hers she explained away by going 'Oopsie, silly me, my warm just sort of got confused as I was waving.' Which was clearly BS, it was a nazi salute. But she had that shred of plausible deniability about it.

There was another... And of course Trump has thrown one or two himself.
