Bannon Waves Quoting Trump & French Conservative Flees

French right-wing National Rally party, Jordan Bardella canceled a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference because he claimed Steve Bannon made a Nazi-like hand gesture.

During a speech on Thursday, Mr. Bannon invoked the words of President Trump immediately after the July 13 assassination attempt as he said, โ€œThe only way that they win is if we retreat. And weโ€™re not going to retreat. Weโ€™re not going to surrender. Weโ€™re not going to quit. Fight! Fight! Fight!โ€

Mr. Bannon then extended one arm raised with his palm face down.

โ€œWhile I was not present in the room, one of the speakers allowed himself, as a provocation, a gesture referring to Nazi ideology. Consequently, I have taken the immediate decision to cancel my [speech] scheduled for this afternoon at the event,โ€ Mr. Bardella said in a statement on Friday.

Mr. Bannon said it was a wave he makes โ€œat all my speeches.โ€

Bannon told NBC News was a p***y

โ€œHeโ€™s never going to be able to lead France.โ€

The problem is very difficult in France. They were overtaken by the Nazis in World War II and they call Mr. Bardellaโ€™s party the Nazis.

It is ridiculous that you canโ€™t even wave.
