Senatorial candidate Graham Platner of the Democratic Party from Maine drew online controversy. A photo of him with a raised hand circulated, and right-wing spaces compared the gesture to a Nazi salute. But is the gesture a Nazi salute?
Several ring-wing accounts accused left-leaning legacy media for the lack of criticism against Platner. Many of these accounts went on to call out the media for perceived hypocrisy for accusing Elon Musk of doing the salute but being unable to do the same against Platner.
