    after coming under fire for a gesture he made at a Trump inaugural event that was likened to a Nazi salute by foreign leaders and Democrats.

    Oh get the fuck out of here forbes, you’re part of the fucking problem. That was a full on sieg heil, and the piece of shit did it twice. It was not a likeness to it, the oligarch fuckwit was unequivocally heiling.

      The 2nd one was even more clearer & Europeans are the authority on what’s is a Sieg Heil & what is not, Americans don’t get to decide that

      the billionaire has denied he made a Nazi salute and played off backlash with Nazi puns

      Another claim that he actually denied doing it. Can anyone point to the quote of his denying it was a Nazi salute? Lots of publications speaking for him.

        I don’t recall him saying “it wasn’t a nazi salute, I apologize for the confusion, my absolute bad, naziism is wrong and abhorrent” anything short of that isn’t denying it

          I keep seeing the claim that he has refuted it without evidence of such. Trying to rewrite history.

            “The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” Feels appropriate here
