The real headline should be "CPAC audience cheers Bannon's Nazi salute", because they totally did, and it leaves no doubt that CPAC is full of Nazis.

He knows his audience, that's for certain.

There were cheers, but I think I also detected some shouts of anger. I'm not going to write off an entire audience.

They were sitting down in a room in which the speaker gave a nazi salute. They did not leave when it became apparent that he would not be ejected.

I mean, they also intentionally planned ahead to be in the same room with Bannon in the first place, to give him attention and listen to whatever “good” news he had to say.

Any sounds of people getting angry at the salute should only illustrate the incredible ignorance we’re dealing with in this country. Blame it on stupidity, or hate, or indoctrination & conditioning, whatever you want. It’s all accurate to certain degrees depending on the individual.
