At CPAC 2025, Steve Bannon sparked controversy with a gesture resembling a Nazi salute, drawing backlash from the Anti-Defamation League and far-right figures. French National Rally leader Jordan Bardella canceled his speech, citing Bannon’s “allusion to Nazi ideology.” While Bannon dismissed the claim, saying it was a simple wave, critics remain unconvinced. The incident underscores growing divides within the global right and CPAC’s shift towards a Trump-centric rally, with discussions also revolving around Musk’s controversial presence and the 2028 election.
