So. Connecticut Democrat Senator Chris Murphy has made a whopper of an allegation that has wound up seriously backfiring. Attacking the leaders of his own Democrat Party — not to mention himself. The leaders attacked are former President Barack Obama, Ex-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, former Vice President Kamala Harris, Senator Elizabeth Warren, and yes, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Using Murphy’s criteria, the Connecticut Democrat has effectively accused all of the above of giving the Nazi salute — as Murphy himself has accused Elon Musk of doing. In a decidedly backfiring dirty trick — the Left has gone after Trump-supporting Elon Musk by playing the Nazi card. Why? Because Musk, they say, was pictured giving a Nazi salute. And ya can’t make up the response. As our colleague Scott McKay has noted, ole Elon has interesting company in the alleged Nazi salute gang. Scott points to an X tweet from Connecticut’s Democrat Senator Chris Murphy that — seriously — read as follows: We need to talk about what happened last night. I asked Trump’s UN nominee, who wants to lead an effort to combat antisemitism at the UN, what she thought about Elon’s Musk’s Nazi salute and the celebration of it by domestic neo-Nazi and white supremacist groups. That screech you have heard is the sound of Murphy trying to get his foot out of his mouth. So Murphy believes Musk and his extended arm are signs of being a Nazi? Got it. So let’s do a little review of those Murphy has snared in his supposed “they’re Nazi saluters” net. First, and perhaps best, is Murphy’s catch of — Murphy. As seen here, the Senator is captured by a camera standing in front of the Capitol — with an arm extending in Musk fashion. Using his own analysis, clearly, Murphy has a passion for giving the Nazi extended arm salute.

Here are — you can’t make it up — what Murphy sees as would-be Nazis, caught in mid-salute. They would be: Hey Chris, this problem is way more widespread than you thought! pic.twitter.com/I99bNjJyrW — Andrew Follett (@AndrewCFollett) January 21, 2025 Former President Barack Obama Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Former Vice President Kamala Harris And then, perhaps most richly of all, is Congresswoman AOC. As seen here. everyone who follows me needs to share this video immediately—AOC is a literal Nazi, this is so concerning—she did a Nazi salute not once but TWICE in a matter of seconds… this is UNACCEPTABLE on every level, we have NO tolerance for Nazis!!! like, share, tag her,… pic.twitter.com/4TqKb4VaEe — stepfanie tyler (@wildbarestepf) January 21, 2025 Oh, and let’s not leave out that apparent Nazi — Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren. As seen here. In other words, using his own standard, Senator Murphy has accused the most prominent leaders of his own Democrat Party of being Nazis because they are revealed to have done exactly what Elon Musk did. The whole thing is ridiculous, of course. Without question, one of the most common gestures in the human race is to extend an arm for the simple, quite obvious purpose of waving or thanking someone or, as in Murphy’s video, thanking a whole crowd of supporters. The real point here is the decidedly cynical use by Murphy of one of the most evil groups in world history and trying to label Musk as being a follower. Not that this should surprise. The entire 2024 presidential campaign was filled with prominent Democrats labeling GOP nominee Donald Trump — Trump no less than a former president of the United States — as another Hitler. But the American people were not fooled. If anything, the “Trump as Hitler” flood of accusations backfired and backfired big time. Trump was elected in a landslide. Yet the mere fact that Democrats thought it was perfectly OK to play the Nazi card in the election says everything about the character of the Democrats in the Trump era. And none of it is good.
