Weeks after Elon Musk stirred a controversy with his “Nazi salute”, netizens are wondering if another one of Donald Trump’s allies, Steve Bannon, flashed a gesture at the Conservative Political Action Conference that has raised eyebrows.
Bannon’s gesture was not as apparent as Musk’s who did a full-blown Nazi salute on the day of US President Donald Trump’s inauguration. Bannon’s movement was a quick, rigid arm gesture to the side, with no clear meaning beyond its apparent intent.
After passionately urging the CPAC audience in National Harbor, Maryland, to “fight, fight, fight,” he swiftly made the salute. When the crowd responded with applause, Bannon gave a brief nod and replied, “Amen.”
During his CPAC speech, Bannon , the US President’s former advisor and longtime ally, pitched for Donald Trump’s third term even though the Constitution sets a two-term limit for presidents.

The Trump ally suggested that the president can find a way around the Constitutional rule, saying, “We’ve got to maybe work the Constitution too although I think there’s a way to slip through there but you never know.”
