Steve Bannon Accused of Doing Nazi Salute During CPAC Speech After Calling for a Third Trump Term

Steve Bannon punctuated his speech at the Conservative Political Action on Thursday with a gesture resembling the Roman salute used by the Nazis.

“The future of MAGA is Donald J. Trump,” the former Trump White House adviser told the crowd. “We want Trump in ‘28. That’s why they can’t stand [him]. A man like Trump comes along only once or twice in the country’s history! Right? We want Trump! We want Trump! We want Trump!”

Later, Bannon riled up the crowd by urging them to fight.

“And we’re not gonna retreat,” he said. “We’re not gonna surrender. We’re not gonna quit. Fight! Fight! Fight!”

“Bannon gets up there – this was some sick shit,” avowed White Supremacist Nick Fuentes said after the speech. “Bannon gets up there and says, ‘I think Trump’s gonna run in ’28.’ He goes, ‘We want Trump,’ and then he throws up a straight-up Roman salute. It’s getting a little uncomfortable even for me. Even I’m starting to feel like that guy in the picture that would hail Hitler.”

Bannon’s gesture comes a exactly a month after Musk made a similar, but more aggressive salute shortly after Trump was inaugurated. A week later, the gesture was copied by a priest at an anti-abortion rally.
