Batya Ungar-Sargon insisted. “This is a man with Aspergers exuberantly throwing his heart to the crowd. We don’t need to invent outrage.”
This is a man who has been in the public eye for decades. He has given speeches to crowds before. At no point has he spontaneously seig heiled as a means of expressing emotions before. He knew exactly what he was doing. He felt secure surrounded by this crowd and took the opportunity to make a statement… and they fucking cheered.

-That didn’t happen.
-And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.
-And if it was, that’s not a big deal.
-And if it is, that’s not my fault.
-And if it was, I didn’t mean it.
-And if I did, you deserved it.
They give him an inch and he takes a mile.
No news organization will call it a nazi or fascist salute as they will get sued for doing so. Instead they will call it odd and mention historical significance and let the reader put two and two together.
