Calvin Robinson said he made gesture as ‘a joke’ to mock those who denounced Elon Musk’s similar salute

Summary

Calvin Robinson, a Michigan priest with the Anglican Catholic Church, has been defrocked after making what appeared to be a Nazi salute at the National Pro-Life Summit on January 25.

The church revoked his license, condemning the gesture as harmful and contrary to Christian values.

Robinson defended it as a joke mocking liberals’ criticism of Elon Musk, whose own gestures and comments on Nazism have sparked controversy.

    But he proved a point… If he did the same thing musk did as a “joke” then now you can’t deny musk did a Nazi salute if this guy got in trouble for it by copying him…

    Add this to evidence against musk in his I’m not a Nazi lawsuit
