LA Times publishes letter to the editor asking if these Christians praying for Trump are actually giving a Nazi salute
· Oct 28, 2024 · NottheBee.com

Hey, just because the paper doesn't endorse Kamala explicitly doesn't mean the LA Times isn't a buncha looney toons.

Check this out. It's one of the wildest letters to the editor I've ever seen.

Yes, we have here an image of Christian Trump supporters extending their hands towards Donald Trump, as a way of laying on hands and praying, and the LA Times published a letter from some nutjob who thinks it may be a secret Nazi salute.

The letter is short, and this is almost the entirety of it right here:

What is not laughable is the accompanying photo of Trump supporters. Their right arms are raised, reminiscent of the Nazi salute. Heads bowed, eyes closed, they are praying for a convicted felon, an adjudicated sexual abuser, a man who incited an insurrection to stay in power.

Someone who mishandled a pandemic resulting in an estimated 200,000 unnecessary deaths. Someone who embraces our adversaries and alienates our allies. His lies are harmful and dangerous, most recently about migrants eating pets and federal disaster workers who are providing emergency assistance after devastating hurricanes.

Is this what blind faith looks like?

This is the kind of letter that gets published when your editor quits in a blind rage because you wouldn't endorse Kamala.

Oh, and they found another LA Times reader who made the same connection.

The prayer salute looks disconcertingly like the salute we used when we said, 'I pledge allegiance to the flag,' and which was dropped when I was in grade school during World War II because it looked too much like the Nazi salute.

I don't think even now Jesus would like to be saluted.

Umm, guys, it's not a salute. It's just not.

Are Kamala supporters okay? It's literally people imitating the laying on of hands which has been a Christian form of prayer since the beginning of the religion in the book of Acts.

But when literally all of your knowledge comes from the mainstream media, Hollywood, and modern academia, this is the kind of argument you get.

The internet had thoughts:

The entire leftist push is to tie Trump to Hitler. It's a call to arms for the Left so that they know that Trump and his supporters are fascists. And, of course, it's okay to punch fascists.

For what it's worth, the Times did publish another letter from a black man letting them know that their original piece this is all in response to, that called Trump racist, is simply false.

As a Black man for Trump, I reject the headline of this article. It suggests Trump is using a racist description of Harris when he calls her lazy.

That's The Times' interpretation of his remark, not the meaning he intended. The Times should stick to reporting facts and leave interpretation of them to the reader.

Trump didn't call Kamala lazy because she's black.

He called Kamala lazy because she's lazy 🤣

The LA Times may not have endorsed Kamala, but their publication is very obviously trying to equate Trump to Hitler and they are grasping at the thinnest straws right now.
