Conservative influencers criticized mainstream media after Sen. Cory Booker's congratulatory gesture during a speech at the California Democratic Party convention resembled a Nazi salute, similar to Elon Musk's earlier gesture at a Trump rally. Critics highlighted the perceived hypocrisy of media outlets for not condemning Booker's action as they did Musk's, with several commentators calling out major networks for their double standards. The incident ignited discussions online, further fueled by social media, where users demand consistent reporting from media in politically charged situations.
Critics quickly drew comparisons to an incident in January when Musk lifted his arm during a Trump rally, prompting multiple media outlets to suggest he mimicked a fascist salute.
Right-wing commentators argued the media's lack of a reaction to Booker was hypocritical, highlighting perceived bias in coverage.
The clip of Booker's gesture went viral, with countless accounts dragging major outlets for what they saw as a double standard in media reporting.
The Libs of TikTok account directly called out MSNBC, questioning their lack of coverage on Booker's gesture compared to Elon's.
