US EditionMAGA Accuses Democratic Senator Cory Booker of Doing 'Nazi Salute'
- Senator Cory Booker gave a speech at the 2025 California Democratic Party convention on Saturday, ending with a one-handed gesture to the crowd.
- Conservative commentators criticized Booker for making a gesture reminiscent of one previously performed by prominent figures such as Elon Musk and Steve Bannon, labeling it as a Nazi-like salute, while Democrats responded to the incident in a notably different manner.
- Booker concluded his speech by resting his hand on his chest and reaching out toward the audience, a movement Musk described as expressing sympathy, though Booker’s gesture was less emphatic than the one Musk made at the 2025 inauguration.
- The video of Booker's gesture, first posted by commentator Richie Greenberg and widely circulated on conservative social media, sparked sharp criticism from right-wing influencers calling Booker "literally Hitler."
- The incident highlights partisan divisions over political symbolism and media coverage, as critics noted a lack of mainstream backlash against Booker compared to Musk, who faced heavy criticism for a similar gesture.
