Intentionally no, but the gesture could be from muscle memory.
Wow. This is a contender for 2016's best shopped pictures.

you guys know that photo is completely shopped right? It even says Getty images on it!
Hold on, I think I got a snippet of the end of Trump's inauguration speech.
"On this historic occasion I must once again thank all those millions of unknown Americans, from every class, profession, and trade, who have given their hearts, their votes and their voices, for the new America. And all of us, members of the United States Government, hereby join together in tendering our thanks to the people of the United States, to the millions of those American mothers who have given their children a future in this great country. When I think of that healthy youth which belongs to our nation, then my faith in the future becomes a joyful certainty. And it is with a profound feeling that I realize the significance of the simple word which Ronald Wilson Reagan wrote when he picked up his pen for the last time--America."
Wait, I think he plagiarized it from somewhere...

This is legendary. Look at this. The USA in 2016 and THIS is something we have to see.
What a photo.

That narrative doesn't go anywhere because conservatives are very, very good at controlling narratives in general. It's one of the few things I'm willing to give the GOP credit for. They unite and stick to message.
Even if it wasn't intentional, at the very least, it's top tier comedy from a party that has a lot of trouble with people who aren't white.
Getty images hosts tons of actual photos.
I'm not saying it isn't shopped; but the Getty images thing doesn't mean much.
Yep, I'm with you on that. The emphatic emphasis with which she ends the sentence, followed by a salute may be something she's done before.
Or she just meant to wave to everybody and forgot to move her hand around after she raised her arm...
Nah, it's always been scary.
I meant specifically in America.

She's the type of personality that would totally do this to stir shit up. So she did it intentionally but just to fuck with people not because she's some Nazi.

She's not the type..😒
Exactly my take. Feels like a calculated plausible-deniability move to me. Could be a mistake but...
It was basically a klan rally, so yes.

Guys. They wouldn't use a picture with the Getty watermark at the RNC.
Unintentional, but bad optics. Better things to focus on.
Also people thinking that getty pictures pic is real...
Do terrorist fist bumps count?

Jesus fucking christ.
Honestly I think that's what happened. She dug so deep into the hate and the mob crowd she channeled something in her sub-conscious.

Time ta STEP IT UP
Laura is disgusting enough to do it too
I assumed (Perhaps wrongly) that GettyImages had their banner on the whole picture, and not that the picture on the right was photo-shopped. It seems like there's some overlap.

The watermark doesn't appear to belong to the picture of just Donald Trump, as I initially read it to.
It continues below the picture of Trump.

It sounds like you are defending this as an overblown conspiracty... She clearly gave the Nazi salute. This woman knew what she was doing and should not run away from the librul PC culture. She needs to stand by her message and stand on those conservative principles she talks about. I know her gesture is disgusting and she deserves scorn forever.

Bellamy salute was around in the US prior to the rise of Nazism. I think it was the main salute (or at least a common one) to the flag prior to the 1930s.
I thought the entire image had the watermark, not just Trump image. Well either way, I fell for it.

This is a great photoshop.
But watching the video her gesture was way more intentional than just a mistake. She even seemed to notice what she had done.

I mean the Getty Images is right on the Trump photo. The image looks to perfect to have been on a screen like that. If you look for videos of the speech you can see that's not what the background was. smh people lol

lol, she has it down pat, probably been practicing in the mirror.
Hey guys look! Something we used to do here in America that the Nazis also did!It's cute when we did it!
The Bellemey Salute was changed in 1942 to hand over the heart.
