**Booker Faces Backlash for Alleged ‘Nazi Salute’ to California Democrats, Echoing Musk’s Controversy**
In a shocking turn of events that has left political analysts scratching their heads and meme-makers rubbing their hands in glee, Senator Cory Booker has found himself in hot water after allegedly giving a “Nazi salute” to a group of California Democrats during a recent fundraiser. Eyewitnesses claim that Booker, while attempting to demonstrate a new dance move he dubbed the “Sieg Heil Shuffle,” accidentally raised his arm in a way that could be interpreted as a salute.
“I thought he was just trying to get the crowd hyped up,” said local party member and professional interpretive dancer, Linda Twirl. “But then I realized he was just really bad at the Macarena.”
The backlash has been swift and fierce, with critics claiming that Booker’s move was reminiscent of Elon Musk’s infamous “I’m not a robot” hand gesture. “It’s like they’re trying to outdo each other in a bizarre game of political charades,” said political analyst and part-time fortune teller, Crystal Ball. “Next, we’ll see them competing in a ‘Who Can Make the Weirdest Gesture’ contest.”
In a statement released from his office, Booker clarified, “I was just trying to show solidarity with my fellow Democrats. I mean, who doesn’t love a good salute? It’s like a high-five, but with more history!”
Meanwhile, California Democrats are reportedly considering a new policy: “No Salutes Allowed.” “We’re all about inclusivity here,” said party chairperson, Chuckle McLaugh. “Unless it’s a jazz hands salute. That’s totally acceptable.”
As the controversy unfolds, one thing is clear: in the world of politics, it’s not just the issues that are getting raised—so are the arms!
