"They said Trump is a second Hitler," she told the Times, recalling that one activist next to her that night had held aloft a photo of the Nazi leader. "I said do you know what that sign stands for? Do you know who Hitler really was?"

"I make the point that they are demonstrating something they had no knowledge about," she said. "If you want to do it right, you do it right. You don't know what you are doing."

It was then that she gestured in a Nazi salute.

"Absolutely I'm not a Nazi, no," she said. "I'm not one of those.

This is her version of events.
