As an aside, whoever is putting images together for these stories has to stop using ones where they wave like this, theyre being co-opted to give excuses for politicians who do Nazi salutes.

Apart from the either incompetent or sinister crop of Bernie's hand, it doesn't really look anywhere close to a Nazi salute rather than the normal waving that it is.

I'm not saying that the fascists won't pretend otherwise, but as far as ammo for their disinformation war goes, this is very meager stuff 🤷

We all know the truth. They don't actually care. Who gives a shit about excuses?
