Scott Jennings Is Dared by WaPo Reporter To Imitate Elon Musk's Salute On CNN

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING GOP pundit Scott Jennings kept his arm by his side Monday when he was challenged on CNN to mimic Elon Musk’s Nazi-like salute from Inauguration Day. His remarks a few days before the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp on Monday put his awkward arm thrust back on the table during Abby Phillip’s “NewsNight.” It wasn’t the first time that Musk perpetuated the controversy in some way. “I don’t understand why this guy keeps getting the benefit of the doubt,” Rampell said of antisemitism accusations against Musk. Jennings said Musk’s awkward arm salute was merely “expressing enthusiastically his appreciation for the crowd.” “Why don’t you do it on TV right now?” Rampell said.
