It’s been said that if the legacy media didn’t have double standards, it’d have no standards at all. It’s totally true, and nothing exemplifies this better than comparing the ‘journalist’ furor over Elon Musk’s Inauguration Day ‘Nazi’ hand gesture and the utter silence over New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s recent identical ‘Nazi’ hand gesture. How quiet is it? Not a single legacy media outlet has mentioned Mamdani’s salute.
Here’s more. (WATCH)
🚨 IT’S OFFICIAL: 24 hours after Communist Zohran Mamdani does the same “salute” as Elon, not a SINGLE Lamestream Media outlet has reported it

It’s just (D)ifferent.
You’re lied to and propagandized on a daily basis and it’s impossible to be angry enough.pic.twitter.com/drjK2oK46F
I saw it. Definitely a Nazi! pic.twitter.com/lKiG9hAUdt

You just knew the MSM would never cover it like they did Elon

Of course not, they’re all partisan hypocrites.
They were mum when Democrat Hakeem Jeffries did it, too. Their outrage is selective and reserved solely for MAGA. (WATCH)

Odd would be if MSM was consistent!

It’s so ridiculous.
Oh, don’t expect CNN’s Abby Phillip to go after Mamdani. We remember how she reacted when it was revealed that Democrat Graham Platner had a genuine Nazi tattoo on his chest. (WATCH)
Think Abby Phillip will condemn Mamdani's nazi salute? 🤪

Here's Abby Phillip after Elon Musk gave a "my heart goes out to you" gesture versus Abby Phillip after a Democrat politician was found to have a nazi tattoo on his chest.
This is CNN.pic.twitter.com/U5QTc26Idf

Media : Elon's a Nazi..
Everyone : No, he's not..
Everyone : That Democrat with the Nazi tatt, he's a LEGIT Nazi!
Media : Well, he doesn't know.
No she will call you a racist and an islamaphobe instead

She must get dizzy with all that spinning.

She’s trained in the Democrat art of deflection.
It’s amazing how the legacy media is united in which stories they ignore or bury.
Amazing how MSM selects their own lies.

Lies, hoaxes, propaganda. That’s it.
— Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) January 2, 2026
Yep. And they make it so obvious. 🤯
— christianlhwils (@ChrisLHWils) January 2, 2026
They don’t bother even pretending to be journalists anymore. It’s a given that they will never hold their fellow Democrats to the same standards they apply to Republicans and MAGA.
