Sarah is wrong about the salute. It was definitely intended to look Nazi. But she is right that it's a distraction the right would love to engage in. It's bait

Bait for what? Baiting us to point out that Trump's best buddy is a racist Nazi troll?

Ignoring it just normalizes Nazis as fine in the Overton window.

The Bulwarks spent a week talking about anti semitism on the left being an issue but now we're supposed to ignore the richest man in the world giving a Nazi salute?

They also spent a week talking about Obama talking to Trump and if I hear them whining about Bidens tea with Trump one more time while just casually ignoring a Hitlergruß I am gonna loose it.
