Conservative commentators lashed out at New Jersey Senator Cory Booker over a gesture he made at the end of a speech Saturday night, arguing it closely resembled a Nazi salute. Critics also drew parallels to a similar gesture by Elon Musk, which previously drew widespread condemnation from liberals.
Booker made the motion while speaking at a Democratic gathering in California. He first placed his hand over his heart, then extended his arm outward with an open palm raised above shoulder level, directed toward the audience.
Social media personalities were quick to highlight what they saw as a double standard, pointing out the lack of backlash Booker faced compared to the firestorm that followed Musk’s action earlier this year.
