    He said he didn’t mean it as a Nazi salute, is that not enough?

    There is so much else to criticize, I don’t know why we continue beating this dead horse, I’m not even sure it’s in good faith at this point.

    I mean unless there is something else he’s done to point to being a Nazi that I just haven’t seen, barring hyperbole like “he’s a trump supporter”.

      You’re an idiot who should suck on a lead pipe and encase your mouth and hands in epoxy resin so nobody is ever subject to hearing your thoughts again

      But i don’t mean that as an insult, so don’t you dare be offended by it

      is that not enough?

      No. It isn’t. Because not only is it a tremendous lie, it’s also not the only thing he’s done to implicate himself as a Nazi. And the last thing we need right now are apologists downplaying his behavior.

      If I punch you in the face, say you’re a stupid bitch, then tell you I didn’t mean it, wouldn’t that be enough?

      A Nazi salute is a Nazi salute. It isn’t something you can accidentally do.

      Did I miss Elmo claiming it wasn’t a Nazi salute? I have seen lots of articles of other people claiming it wasn’t, but nothing from him.

          Hey, so, can you highlight the part where he Denys that it was a Nazi salute? I must be blind because none of those words mean “that wasn’t a Nazi salute” or anything even close.

          This is like when my kid would get in trouble, and instead of owning up to it he would get mad at anyone saying he did the thing he did.

          Ahhhh! Right. He said it wasn’t a salute! So, pay no attention to the walk, or the quack….

          “It’s definitely not a duck!”, says the apologist!
