Looks like there is some debate on whether Bash threw a white power symbol.

I've been reading opinions on sites other than DU about Zina Bash and the white power symbol.

My opinion:

1) She looks at her phone and then puts it down. High probability that she received a text.

2) Immediately puts her hand in the position of an "OK', or "White Power" sign.

3) Some people have the opinion that it is a natural hand position. No, it isn't. You don't curl your fingers up like that naturally, with the finger tips touching. Further, if you happened to do that accidentally, you would most likely not sustain it.

4) For those arguing it is a 4chan conspiracy theory, or a hoax, or whatever...it probably started as that back in 2017. The symbol was then co-opted by those sympathetic to white supremacy. No matter how it started, it is now a white power symbol.

Zina Bash is a troll.

Do you remember when President Obama gaslighted us so much that we all lost our minds are were rendered unable to recognize something for what it actually is? Remember that? I don't either.

She doesn't form a circle for the p and then only makes a V instead of a W. This is a stupid distraction.

Do a Google image search for say "Whitehouse white power sign" ...look fairly deeply at the results, weigh the sources you see there and your own and make up your mind.

This woman was there to support a Supreme Court nominee. Simply deplorable.
