Sen. Cory Booker roasted by pundits who accuse him of making Nazi salute at political event

Right-wing pundits ripped New Jersey Senator Cory Booker for making a gesture that they likened Nazi salute at the conclusion of a speech Saturday night — and compared it to the move Elon Musk made that was ripped by liberals.

The Garden State Democrat made the gesture at a Democratic convention in California — placing his hand over his heart and then gesturing to the crowd with a straight arm and an open hand above shoulder height.

Internet influencers were quick to jump on Booker’s salute, and wonder where the outrage is when there was so much criticism by Booker’s fellow Democrats and others on the left of Musk.

“If Elon Musk is a Nazi for doing this gesture.. Cory Booker is one too. Sorry, I don’t make the rules,” one viral post read.

“Cory Booker did the thing. This is literally the Third Reich all over again. These are the darkest days ever. Democracy is doomed,” one user wrote sarcastically in a viral post.

Some X users were more pointed in their criticism of the differing receptions Booker’s and Musk’s gestures each garnered from the pundit class.

“Same gesture. Different political party. Funny how that works,” Brandon Straka, founder of the Walk Away movement, wrote on X.

“This better be a national story for the next week!,” another X poster joked.

Former DOGE chief and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk infamously made a remarkably similar gesture at an inauguration celebration at the Capital One Arena back in January.

“Thank you for making it happen. Thank you, my heart goes out to you,” Musk said, placing his hand over his heart and then extending his arm to the crowd.

Despite widespread public outcry over one-armed gesture’s similarity to the Hitler salute, prominent figures in the Jewish community rose to Musk’s defense.

 “It seems that @elonmusk made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute, but again, we appreciate that people are on edge,” antisemitism watchdog the ADL wrote on X at the time.

Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wrote supportively on X, “@elonmusk is being falsely smeared. Elon is a great friend of Israel.”

Senator Booker’s office did not respond to The Post’s request for comment.

The post Sen. Cory Booker roasted by pundits who accuse him of making Nazi salute at political event appeared first on New York Post.
