Dems silent as Cory Booker gives 'Nazi salute' at California convention

Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) used a gesture at the end of a speech that many have referred to, when used by Republicans or conservatives, as a "Nazi salute. The move came as he finished up a 15 minute speech at the California Democrat Party convention on Saturday.

Democrats handled the situation with Booker far differently than they had previous instances by other political persons. Conservatives took jabs at Democrats for their lack of backlash in light of their overreaction to the supposed "Nazi salute" that Elon Musk was accused of doing just months ago.

Democratic politicians appeared to be silent on the matter after Booker made a similar gesture that Musk did as well while he gave a speech in Janaury. Musk said at the time that it was a gesture meaning "my heart goes out to you."
