How can anyone think this is acceptable? Regardless of your politics, this salute was deliberate, given the context of Musk's "accidental gesture."

The GOP spent decades banging on about freedom. Now they are sucking up to tyrants and dictators in the most cringeworthy way. Sen John McCain stood in awe of the Ukrainian people, Sec Rubio is selling them out for pocket lint. This is all wrong. #DemVoice1 #NAFO #SlavaUkraine
