France’s Bardella cancels CPAC speech after Steve Bannon’s ‘Nazi’ salute – POLITICO

Jordan Bardella, leader of France’s far-right National Rally, canceled a planned address at the right-wing Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington after Steve Bannon made what appeared to be a Nazi salute on stage. 

Bannon, U.S. President Donald Trump’s former adviser, was quick to respond to Bardella’s cancellation over his gesture, calling him “a little boy, not a man,” and labeling him “unworthy of leading France.”

The French far-right leader was scheduled to speak on Friday’s program at the American right wing jamboree about relations between the United States and France, as well as the rise of “patriotic parties” in Europe.
