France Far-right Leader Cancels US Speech After 'Nazi Gesture' By Ex-Trump Aide
Barron's ^

Posted on 02/21/2025 7:33:12 AM PST by USA-FRANCE

France's far-right leader Jordan Bardella Friday said he had cancelled his speech at a right-wing meeting in Washington after a "gesture alluding to Nazi ideology" by conservative firebrand Steve Bannon. The president of France's National Rally party, who is in the US capital, said he was not present when Bannon, one of the masterminds behind Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, made a gesture that has been described as a Nazi salute on Thursday at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).

And now Bannon does the national socialist gesture... No wonder Trump sacked Steve Bannon during the first Trump administration!

Bannon made France's most right wing political leader (Le Pen's Party) cancel his speech at CPAC.

Sad. Bardella (which I support) was all set for a wonderful speech in America! Sad, that Bannon did a sad clown show.

Our side has no self control. And a lot of times, zero intelligence.

Were you able to figure out which sign he was referring to? I also have questions about Bannon, but I get a little confused when ‘Nazi’ signs are thrown in. That is what they accused Hegseth in when he had a Crusader Cross tattoo.

How funny/odd...
The french flopped over like dead fish for Hitler the first time, and they and Macron lead the charge to resurrect him NOW.

And it’s a CONSERVATIVE who reminds a frenchman of Hitler these days?...there’s that “jumbo shrimp” thing again.

There is NO SUCH THING as “far right”.

I never dreamed that 21st century American politics and arguments would revolve so much around the Civil war and Nazis, Nazis, Nazis.

Where is it? It isn't. Waving at a crowd is now Nazi. But note, it is NEVER mentioned by the full name -- National Socialist.

Guaranteed, Bannon is NO socialist.

But a whole lot of Europeans are socialist, and quite a few Democrats are socialists, and some of those wacky "independents" are as well. Lots of waving at crowds....
