'Right now on TV!' CNN conservative Scott Jennings dared to repeat Musk's 'Nazi' salute

Raw Story  

A pair of CNN panelists clashed over Elon Musk's straight-arm greeting that many compared to the Nazi Sieg Heil salute. The tech mogul performed the gesture twice during Donald Trump's post-inauguration rally last week, but he insisted later it was meant to demonstrate that his "heart goes out" to fellow MAGA supporters. "Look, the first time that Elon Musk decides to declare that 'globalist' Jews are responsible for the great replacement of brown people into the United States, maybe it was a misunderstanding," Rampell said. "NewsNight" host Abby Phillip also mentioned the Nazi jokes Musk has been making on his X platform before turning to the network's resident conservative and Donald Trump fan, Scott Jennings, who she noticed had been sighing through Rampell's remarks. Jennings insisted he didn't "know anything about German politics” and complained that Democrats had called Republicans "fascist" during last year's election campaign.
