Jordan Bardella, from Marine Le Pen’s French party—often labeled as “far-right”—was in Washington as a special guest at CPAC, the annual conservative conference. However, he withdrew from speaking at the event after claiming that Steve Bannon, Trump’s key advisor, made a Nazi salute.

At the end of his speech, Bannon said, “fight, fight, fight” and then extended his arm with an open hand. According to Bannon, it was simply a wave, but Bardella and other right-wing politicians and guests at CPAC considered the gesture “excessively similar to a Nazi salute.”
