GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office.

The Daily Beast tweet: “Steve Bannon whipped up the CPAC crowd by talking about the possibility of Trump staying in office for a third term - and concluded his speech by giving a provocative gesture that resembled the salute Elon Musk gave at a post-inauguration rally last month.”

I am so sick of this shit. It’s a Sieg Heil. It’s a Nazi salute. Anyone who sees it knows. It’s ridiculous that legal departments presumably won’t let media call it what it is. Bannon made “a provocative gesture that resembled the salute Elon Musk gave at a post-inauguration rally”? Fuck off.
