Right-wing pundits ripped New Jersey Senator Cory Booker for making a gesture that they likened Nazi salute at the conclusion of a speech Saturday night — and compared it to the move Elon Musk made that was ripped by liberals.
The Garden State Democrat made the gesture at a Democratic convention in California — placing his hand over his heart and then gesturing to the crowd with a straight arm and an open hand above shoulder height.
Internet influencers were quick to jump on Booker’s salute, and wonder where the outrage is when there was so much criticism by Booker’s fellow Democrats and others on the left of Musk.
“If Elon Musk is a Nazi for doing this gesture.. Cory Booker is one too. Sorry, I don’t make the rules,” one viral post read.
“Cory Booker did the thing. This is literally the Third Reich all over again. These are the darkest days ever. Democracy is doomed,” one user wrote sarcastically in a viral post.
Some X users were more pointed in their criticism of the differing receptions Booker’s and Musk’s gestures each garnered from the pundit class.
“Same gesture. Different political party. Funny how that works,” Brandon Straka, founder of the Walk Away movement, wrote on X.
“This better be a national story for the next week!,” another X poster joked.

Calling him Mr. Potato Head is more effective.
Maybe Cory is smoking a lot of stuff lately.
This whole nazi salute accusation was ridiculous when they said Elon did it and it still is.

Having said that, if it causes booker any aggravation at all I have no problem with
These Democrats are truly talented. They’ve figured out how to be communists and Nazis at the same.
It probably wasn’t a Nazi salute, but Cory does tend to
gesticulate for added drama.

I heard that Booker deliberately picked as a girlfriend someone named Eva. And when he gives a party, he requires all his guests to wear brown shirts.
(Okay. I didn’t really hear that. But there’s a finite chance it could be true.)
🤔
Popped twice …virtually identical to what Elon Musk did and said
That’s not an easy thing to do. The talent in that crowd is awesome.
Just retribution to the filthy illegitimates on the left who accuse normal people of making the nazi salute and of organizing nazi rallies.
In California in all places where the Nazis are in firm control.
Another Democrat nazi salute to add to the very long list!

“See that some harm comes to him.”
