"controversial gesture". It's a Nazi salute you pathetic journalist.

Also I wonder if Fetterman will be hiring her.

Wow, CBS still diligently avoiding calling any of this what it very obviously is to anyone not trying to protect Nazis. I guess CBS is happy to be known for visibly protecting Nazis.

CBS is ~~billionaire~~ oligarch propaganda

It's kind of like so much of the "liberal media" keeps calling those terrorists that stormed the Capitol (as part of something that was planned for fucking WEEKS and MONTHS) "rioters".

They brought weapons, including guns, too. They planted bombs. They had a fucking gallows out. They brought zip-ties to restrain Congresspeople and who knows who else.

They let bullshitters on the right keep getting away with saying they were "unarmed". That is a fucking lie and they let it slide so very often. And now their narrative is that these terrorists were "overcharged", because I saw that dickhead Watters use that term more than once. The qons are apparently going to send brown people to Gitmo for being brown, meanwhile, these terrorists, who should have gone to Gitmo, are given a blanket pardon.

I get where you're coming from, I do, but can we please stop with the purity tests?

Takes a pretty spineless person to clutch at pearls over calling a Nazi a Nazi.

"In the video, Smith taps her chest three times with her hand and then puts her arm straight out, saying, "My heart goes out to you.""

That doesn't sound like a Nazi salute to me. I wish the article had the balls to link to the actual video in question.

Found it here:

Yeah, it's clear she 100% knew what she was doing. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

The day I start walking on egg shells to cater to Nazis, I'm checking out. The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi, and with nothing left, I'll take out as many of those fuckers with me as I can.

I'll never be a sympathizer like yourself, so I'll never get to that point, but that sentiment stands.

She made a Nazi salute. The fucking media are complicit.

[-] UpperBroccoli 85 points 2 months ago

IT WAS A FUCKING NAZI SALUTE YOU FUCKING DONKEYS

[-] Glide@lemmy.ca 59 points 2 months ago

I'm fucking so tired of reading the words "a gesture." We know what the fuck it is, and you do too you fucking cowards.

[-] shittydwarf@lemmy.dbzer0.com 40 points 2 months ago

CBS nazi collaborators

[-] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 34 points 2 months ago

Learned she didn't have enough money to just do it.

[-] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 2 months ago

As someone who grew up in this area... Montco is full of the worst, most privileged, racist magats imaginable. Zero surprise that this happened there.

[-] anon6789@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

I was a bit surprised to see where exactly it was, but then again the local car dealership was plastered with signs for the guy running for office that assaulted a senior citizen at a clinic while he brought his 12 yr old to watch, and right down the road from that is the farm that was all plastered with giant signs and trailers covered with Trump and Jesus banners. It's a shame how often beautiful farmland here gets uglied up with that crap.

"a gesture"

Wait, did she give the bird or something?

Also, I thought this happened last week?

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

Only if birds have evolved to do Nazi salutes. Which I guess you'd be the first to know.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Apparently, one has to add an /s to everything. I know full well it was a Nazi salute, this is commentary on how the fucking "liberal media" won't call it such.

[-] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Poe's law man, always assume Poe's law

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

I'm not one of your downvoters, but I wasn't sure if you were joking. For the second question, the story has been updated.

[-] AlligatorBlizzard@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

Anybody got that gif from the Daily Show?

[-] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

You must have :raises arm to chest height: this much money to make a Nazi salute and get away with it.
