What goes around comes around. The internet has gone ablaze after U.S. Senator Corey Booker apeared to give the Nazi salute on stage. Granted, he may have just been waving to the crowd, but if we judge him like the mainstream media judges Elon Musk, then he surely did. Remember the backlash after Musk did this: Remember when Democrats called MAGA rallies “Nazi rallies?” President un-elect Elon Musk just did the Nazi Sieg Heil salute. We were right. Absolutely vile.pic.twitter.com/lg5xl2QpMM — Art Candee (@ArtCandee) January 20, 2025 or When Steve Bannon also did a similar hand wave: Here’s video of Steve Bannon doing a Sieg Heil today at CPAC. It is what it is and it’s what Bannon intended. Don’t let yourself be gaslit. pic.twitter.com/LDT2kU43ZV — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) February 21, 2025 Now let’s compare that to what Sen. Corey Booker just did: Will Corey Booker be plastered all over msm with headlines claiming he’s a ‘Nazi’? pic.twitter.com/bPkrjoTK1J — The Post Millennial (@TPostMillennial) May 31, 2025 Newsweek ran to defend Booker: Booker spoke at a Democratic convention in California on Saturday, ending his speech with a gesture where he put his hand over his heart, then extended his hand out to the crowd – much in the way Musk and Bannon did, though not as forcefully as Musk did it. The video was first posted by Richie Greenberg, a San Francisco-based political commentator and former GOP mayoral candidate for the city, and quickly spread among MAGA-social media. Greenberg posted the video with the caption: “Moments ago, Cory Booker salutes 4,000 CA Democrat Party delegates.” Collin Rugg, co-owner of conservative news site Trending Politics, reposted the video, adding that he is “looking forward to the wall to wall coverage from the “honest” and totally not biased media.” Social media influencer Gunther Eagleman wrote that Booker was a “straight up NAZI,” adding “WOW” and “HOLY S***!” Right-wing journalist Nick Sortor similarly piled in with the video, writing that Booker made a “Nazi salute” and calling him “literally Hitler” for doing so. Elon Musk had this to say about the latest coverage of Booker doing the hand wave compared to when he did his: Legacy media lies https://t.co/vvyCA1CrHQ — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) June 1, 2025
