Nigel Farage said Elon Musk and Steve Bannon definitely didn’t do Nazi salutes and these are surely the only responses you need

Nigel Farage took time out from appearing on BBC1’s Question Time to instead show up on Nick Ferrari’s LBC breakfast show.

And we mention him because of this particular questioner who asked about his appearance at CPAC in the US, where Farage spoke and where Steve Bannon appeared to do something very similar to a Nazi salute just days after Elon Musk did the same thing.

Farage is a big fan of Musk, almost as much as he is a big fan of his ‘good friend’ Steve Bannon (never has the old phrase, know someone by the friends they keep felt more apt).

Anyway, Farage said they definitely weren’t Nazi salutes – the very thought – and this is why.

Nigel Farage says that Elon Musk and Steve Bannon’s Nazi salutes were “not really Nazi salutes” because “they were out to the side.”

So he’s saying that they were too far right to be Nazi salutes?

The irony.

Amazing that we’ve ended up having to discuss this. What a world. https://t.co/CcdUdwpApG

I guess we can at least defer to Farage regarding his expertise on what constitutes a Nazi salute. https://t.co/Z3THIh0kIv

Just because they were sloppy in execution doesn’t change the intention. But Farage fans are a special kind of stupid and can’t/won’t think for themselves.
