The other issue that he has is, it's not just the salute by itself but the fact that he's trying to prop up the far right AfD party in Germany, which has stances like Germany should be proud of all of its soldiers in both world wars, including the SS, theories about the "great replacement", and that Germany needs a 180 degree turnaround on how its handled its Nazi past.

This party went too far for even Marine Le Pen, leader of France's National Rally party, and who is famously far right, to support.
