Saw this on the The Bitter Southerner email blast which mentioned the Instagram post…glad to see it here too. It’s true— of course that was exactly what it was. That’s not something you do as a nervous tic or by awkward accident in front of a large crowd.
Those salutes were EXACTLY what you think they were.
