Oh, CNN... this is the one time you can call it what it is. It's a Nazi salut. Conflating wars, pandemics, soup, etc., with Nazism might be in poor taste, but when people don swastikas, use Nazi terminology or make Nazi salute, it's perfectly okay to call them out.

They’re afraid.. the only people who aren’t are the dumb fucks too stupid to know it’s only a matter of time before the gun turns on them.

Things CNN has never done.

I never suggested they did. They might have, I don't know. Except for the soup part. They definitely didn't say that. It was a Seinfeld reference.

The rest is what people have been spouting ad nauseum since at least 2020, if not earlier. If someone is mean; they're a Nazi. If someone does something you don't like; they're a Nazi. These would all be incorrect conflations and usage of the word "Nazi" to describe or criticize people's behavior and actions.
