Eric Maulbetsch reports:
Just days after the Colorado Republican Party announced that longtime Trump advisor Steve Bannon would headline its annual fundraising dinner next month, Bannon made international news by concluding his speech at the Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC) with a Nazi salute. While Bannon denies that he was invoking Hitler, the “wave,” as he called it, was enough to cause the leader of France’s far-right National Rally party, which was founded by Nazi collaborators, to cancel his own CPAC speech in protest. [emphasis added]
Jordan Bardella was scheduled to speak the following day, but instead issued this statement:
“At this podium yesterday, while I was not present in the room, one of the speakers allowed himself, as a provocation, a gesture referring to Nazi ideology,” said Bardella, “Consequently, I made the immediate decision to cancel my intervention scheduled for this afternoon at the event.”
