Jesse James Only Pretending to be Nazi

Jesse James may be a serial adulterer and all-around tattooed white trash, but he’s not a Nazi. Us Weekly says,

An attorney for Jesse James is explaining his client’s shocking “Nazi salute” photo unearthed by Us Weekly.

Lawyer Joe Yanny told CNN that the German Nazi hat worn by James in the 2004 snapshot (in which James strikes a “Heil Hitler” pose and mimics Hitler’s mustache) was actually a “gag gift” from James’ Jewish godfather.

While in poor taste, possessing or wearing the accessory doesn’t make James a neo-Nazi, Yanny insisted.

To further prove that James is no anti-Semite, Yanny added that James lived for nearly a month in an Israeli kibbutz.

“He did it for shock value,” a source tells Us Weekly of the photo, taken in James’ home. The tattooed biker is “just a history buff,” an insider tells Us Weekly. “He had a stepmom whose father lost family in the camps, and they’d talk about it growing up. Jesse’s not a white supremacist.”

It’s a good thing that none of his mistresses have shown any sort of white supremacist leanings, because that would make this explanation seem like total bullshit.

  1. So for conversations sake, since he claims this was a joke, and said photo took place in his home, say the hat WAS from his Jewish godfather, what about the Nazi WW2 plane in the backround? Did that come for free with the hat?

    That’s not a Nazi WWII plane, it’s the red baron’s plane from WWI. All it’s missing is snoopy flying a dog house behind it. At least pretend to know what you’re talking about.

    As for this guy, he’s just an idiot, not a neo nazi.
