Man, who would have thought that throwing a Nazi salute, and then when people point it out, making a bunch of Nazi jokes instead of denying it would get you labeled a Nazi?

That’s the damning part for me. If it really was a screw up, why would you not immediately say “Oops, that was not what I intended! I just got caught up in the moment and definitely was not trying to give a Nazi salute!” Like, I’d still hate the guy because he’s got a shitty ego, but I wouldn’t consider him a full-on Nazi. People make grand gestures when in front of a crowd, and let’s face it, a Nazi salute is not exactly a complicated gesture. I can see someone making that mistake when they’re just trying to be animated.

But he didn’t deny it! He instead went on Twitter and immediately started saying shit like “I did Nazi that coming.” What the fuck did you expect would happen?

I’m not so sure being ok with Nazis if they had better PR is a good take.
