France’s far-right leader Jordan Bardella has said he cancelled a planned speech at a right-wing meeting in Washington after a “gesture alluding to Nazi ideology” by a speaker, an apparent reference to the conservative firebrand Steve Bannon.

Former Donald Trump aide Steve Bannon was speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington DC.

Accusations of an apparent Nazi salute by American conservative firebrand and Donald Trump ally Steve Bannon at a Washington convention led a French far-right leader to withdraw from the event

Steve Bannon has been accused of making a Nazi salute at a conservative gathering where President Donald Trump is slated to speak this weekend, but says the gesture was merely “a wave.”

White nationalist Nick Fuentes characterized both Musk’s and Bannon’s gestures as a “Roman salute.” Nevertheless, he called it “sick” on his podcast Thursday, adding: "It's getting a little uncomfortable even for a guy like me!”

Elon Musk was previously criticized for a similar gesture at a speech last month celebrating Trump’s inauguration.

“Scott Bessent today said Elon’s group in the first 30 days found $55 billion of waste, fraud, and abuse,” said Bannon, President Donald Trump’s chief White House strategist during the first several months of his first term. “$55 billion, that’s going to add up to six, seven, $800 billion. In one month, they’ve done that.”

Co-host Sara Haines argued Wednesday that the former Trump strategist is preferable to Musk, whom Bannon recently called a "parasitic illegal immigrant."

The RN president canceled his appearance at CPAC after a 'gesture alluding to Nazi ideology' performed by the former special adviser to Donald Trump.

Bannon admitted to one count of scheming to defraud in the first degree stemming from the proposed construction of a private U.S.-Mexico border wall.

Former Trump aide Steve Bannon pleaded guilty Tuesday to engaging in a scheme to defraud fundraisers who contributed to an online effort to build a border wall.
