> when he did not comment afterwards that it wasn't a Nazi salute

No reason for him to do that in the first place. It would set a precedent of having to defend himself every time people who dislike him deliberately malinterpret anything he does.



It would set a precedent of him being part of polite society. Not appearing weaselly to his Nazi friends is more important to him. He has chosen.


Polite society doesn't slander so nilly willy in the first place.
