That didn’t go over so well. Conservative political commentator and talk show host Laura Ingraham was accused of making what appeared to be a Nazi salute following her speech at the Republican National Convention held at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland on Wednesday, July 20.

In GIFs created by the Twitterverse, Ingraham’s unfortunate stiff movement was isolated and shared by users.

“Um, anyone else catch Laura Ingraham's nazi salute?” one user tweeted, while another added along with a GIF of Ingraham: “Kind of a weird way for laura ingraham to end her speech.”

Gif isn't embedding at the moment for me so I just put the link above. If anyone can find a way to do it you can most certainly post it and save everyone a button click.

Edit: Thank you Guess Who.

 

[Guess Who]

 

[Brazil]

She did.

I mean, she probably didn't... But she did.

This RNC is cringetown.

 

[lightskintwin]

Edit: Beaten

 

[rexor0717]

She even locks her elbow.

 

[MIMIC]

lol

 

[rekameohs]

What, did she Nazi the cameras on her?

 

[Arkos]

The gestures after that

"Oh shit, damn, act casual"

 

[Zackat]

haha

 

[rtcn63]

The gestures after that

"Oh shit, damn, act casual"

Yeah she knew what she did even if she didn't necessarily mean to do it.

 

[User 479360]

She kinda did.

Whoever she is.

 

[Iksenpets]

That is like perfectly calibrated to be just emphatic enough to get the blood running in all the alt-right goons but just quick enough to give her enough deniability that the media won't report it as absolute fact

 

[Matty77]

Damn, it's not just trump is it, they are actually trying to make Facism fashionable again. What fucking country am I living in? Year?

 

[SmugSnake]

I recall Trump had some followers do the same thing during a rally, she was probably just doing that.

It still looks like a Nazi salute though...

[Prompto]

The biggest news from this convention so far is Melania Trump plagiarizing a speech, Ted Cruz not endorsing Trump on stage, and someone doing a nazi salute.

What a mess

 

[Zach]

Still can't believe it. I mean, I guess I should believe it at this point. But man... disgusting.

 

[HStallion]

Usually I think people read into these types of things what they want... however damn that's pretty much a Nazi salute even if she didn't mean it lol

 

[30yearsofhurt]

What, did she Nazi the cameras on her?

badoom-muvvauckin-tish!

 

[Orbis Tabula]

I mean, I think she did. But I think she mostly did it just to see if she could make liberals freak out because that's sort of her thing. She's a professional troll.

 

[ugaboga232]

 

[Dan]

She was winking to those who know.

 

[Snaku]

She played it off rather smooth until she did the pointing bit after the wave, yeah really not buying that's you meant to do.

 

[rekameohs]

Oh lordy

 

[Chie Satonaka]

I'm not saying she did it on purpose. I'm saying that I'm not convinced that anyone in the history of anything ever has done that on accident.

 

[Dennis]

Maybe she is a Horatii.

 

[DrArchon]

Incoming complaints about the liberal media making up things to try and make them look bad.

These people know exactly what they're doing (insert Rubio quote here).

 

[ugaboga232]

Oh lordy

I feel likes an even more striking photo than the gif.

 

[rtcn63]

I'm not saying she did it on purpose. I'm saying that I'm not convinced that anyone in the history of anything ever has done that on accident.

Muscle memory has betrayed her

 

[KarmaCow]

Wow it's somehow worse with more context.

 

[xxracerxx]

God damn

 

[brianmcdoogle]

She locks her other arm and stands at attention and pauses when doing it. Sure, people will parle it into an unfortunate wave or something, but people don't do that when waving.

It was intentional. And it's pathetic and gross. And the people who excuse it or play it off are pathetic and gross as well.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

She's kind of a troll. Bets are on her inserting that little bit of an "accidental" wave to freak everyone out.

 

[Einchy]

Pre-Trump, crazy over patriotic shit used to be corny as hell but now it's just scary.

 

[kai3345]

give this photographer a damn award

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

Yeah, looks like it

 

[impirius]

 

[Snaku]

Pre-Trump, crazy over patriotic shit used to be corny as hell but now it's just scary.

Nah, it's always been scary.

 

[bangbang i'm a timpani]

give this photographer a damn award

yea holy shit

 

[Ivan 3414]

I just don't know...

 

[ThreePiMatt]

Holy shit. People actually think she was intentionally giving a Nazi salute? I mean, come on. I get that its funny to laugh at the perception, but get real people.

 

[old manatee]

Seems pretty cut and dry.

 

[Danis Saur]

Too perfect, deserves to be infront of a magazine/newspaper.

 

[Ivan 3414]

Holy shit. People actually think she was intentionally giving a Nazi salute? I mean, come on. I get that its funny to laugh at the perception, but get real people.

What do you think she was trying to do

 

[adamsappel]

Was the salute towards Trump in the audience? Edit: I see it was. I think she was definitely doing that "I pledge allegiance to Donald" rally salute, which is only kind of a Nazi salute.

 

[Hazmat]

Glorious.

 

[SJRB]

Yeah I hate when I give a speech and I accidentally heil Hitler afterwards.


This is all kinds of fucked, how does something like that even happen? Good lord.

 

[Chie Satonaka]

Holy shit. People actually think she was intentionally giving a Nazi salute? I mean, come on. I get that its funny to laugh at the perception, but get real people.

Why would I ever give Laura Ingraham (or anybody at that shitshow convention, for that matter) the benefit of the doubt?

 

[SoulUnison]

This is one of those photos you take once in a career.

 

[B-Dubs]

Shit got beat

 

[ArchedThunder]

Sounds about right.
I mean it almost seems like Trump wants to be compared to Hitler.
