Steve Bannon is accused of making a Nazi salute at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), but he claims it was just a wave. The gesture drew backlash due to its similarities to the right-arm salute associated with the Nazis. The Anti-Defamation League expressed concern about the normalization of this behavior, while French far-right National Rally president Jordan Bardella canceled his scheduled speech in response. Bannon defended himself, stating that the gesture was not a Nazi salute but a wave of gratitude to the crowd.
