Former congressional candidate David Giglio echoed this sentiment in writing about Snell:
“One of the most dishonest posts in awhile [sic]. How can you listen to the video and then tell people this is a Nazi salute. These people have their hands up in prayer.”
Others mocked Snell for apparently having no clue what prayer looks like. One in particular emphasized that Christians praying is a common occurrence that is “quite literally done in thousands of churches around the country every week.”
“I know many lawyers are willing to lie to win an argument but I watched the video you claimed showed a Nazi salute and he asked people to raise their right arms, vow to take the same pledge the Union soldiers did at Gettysburg, and then went into a prayer,” added another.
“You sir are a liar.”
Even outspoken opponents of Donald Trump and Republicanism at large blasted Snell for making a fool out of himself with his childish and pathetic remarks.
“I’m no fan of Trump but can liberals stop claiming that every time a conservative raises his or her arm it’s a nazi salute?” one of them wrote. “Ever seen an Evangelical church service?”
The Lincoln Project, on the other hand, apparently loved Snell’s tweet so much that it incorporated his “Nazi salute” framework into an anti-Mastriano campaign ad.
“You can SMELL the desperation,” wrote a commenter at Zero Hedge about Snell’s ridiculous comparison of prayer to a Nazi salute.
“November 8th looms very large for Congressional incumbents,” wrote another.
Many others pointed out that if Snell wants to see true Nazis in action, then he should visit Democrat-beloved Ukraine.
