If it doesn’t 100% look like a Heil, and isn’t repeated twice, after buying one’s way into influence over a blatantly xenophobic candidate with a record of racism, sure.

Just FYI, this phrase originates with a literal neonazi.

Use of a phrase doesn’t automatically imply agreement with its originator.
Broken clock as speed isn’t right or offset? Doesn’t seem to work
For the phrase, “broken” specifically means “stopped”, and the clock is analog. If the hands don’t turn, then they will be correct twice per day.
What about an arm wave? Same rules apply?

Even a stopped Nazi clock is right twice a day.
