Journalists Horrified As Village People Perform Double Hitler Salute
Politics·Jan 21, 2025 · BabylonBee.com
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Village People stirred up controversy with their performance at the inauguration of Donald Trump yesterday, with many media sources accusing the group of doing a double Hitler salute during their performance.
According to journalists from sources like the Washington Post, CNN, Huffington Post, and ABC, the band's gestures during the performance could be ominous indications of latent fascist support for Trump.
"It's not just one Hitler salute, either," warned CNN's Jake Tapper. "We're seeing these people literally double Trump's Nazism with two whole Hitler salutes. This could be the most dangerous threat to democracy we have ever seen in human history, besides Trump."
While some commentators have pointed out that the gesture seems to have been meant to depict the letter "Y" as part of the group's famous song "YMCA," the suggestion has been taken as an even more foreboding indication of potential fascism from Trump.
"Y? You mean like, Y, as in the second-to-last letter of the alphabet? Which is right next to the third-to-last letter of the alphabet? Just like the Third Reich was the third and last German Reich? Don't you guys see where this is going?" Tapper added. "This is a dark omen of things to come."
At publishing time, several media sources had begun reporting that the acronym YMCA is actually a secret fascist dogwhistle.
