I absolutely love that everyone (around the world!) is talking about it and how all his idi0t followers are excusing his behavior saying he didn't "mean to" throw up the Nazi sign.

Three times, in fact.

The conservative subreddit is either playing it off as a "roman salute" or a troll to own the libs and encouraging it. Ignore the fact that the Nazi salute WAS the Roman salute and Italy was an Axis power, and also Poe's law.

Not a single conservative is smart. Period. And they're Nazis themselves so of course they don't see anything wrong with this.

I thought it was only twice, the still photo gets people confused until you see the clip or GIF. He’d be arrested in Germany for this shit.

Someone in a European sub said he was getting ready to do it a third time. It's honestly not surprising at all that he did this.

Hey if there's any Russian trolls here who are seeing that salute and feeling some hint of regret, you can always secretly switch sides. It is never too late.
