Calvin Robinson, priest-in-charge at St. Paul’s Anglican Catholic Church, was defrocked Thursday, Jan. 29, after church leadership learned he’d made the controversial salute to a crowd at the National Pro-Life Summit on Jan. 25 in Washington, D.C.

The now-former priest, who’s also a popular far-right British commentator, told the crowd, “The people who understand, cheer… The people who do not, reach for their pitchforks.” Erm!

Musk clapped his right hand onto his heart and then thrusted his arm straight outward at an angle with his palm facing down.

Rev. Calvin Robinson, Priest-in-charge of the St. Paul's Anglican Catholic Church (ACC) on Lake Michigan Drive in Grand Rapids, is no longer serving as a priest in the church and has had his license in the church revoked.

Robinson has defended the gesture, with which he concluded his speech at the National Pro-Life Summit last week, as an ‘attempt at dry wit.’

A priest at the National Pro-Life Summit did a Nazi-like gesture in a direct reference to the Elon Musk incident at President Donald Trump's inauguration.

The Anglican Catholic Church said Calvin Robinson was previously warned against ‘online trolling.’ Robinson called the gesture an ‘attempt at dry wit.’

A Michigan priest had his license revoked by the Anglican Catholic Church after he mimicked Elon Musk’s controversial straight-arm gesture, which many have likened to a Nazi salute, during a speech. The church announced it dismissed Calvin Robinson as a priest and rescinded his license after he made the gesture at the end of his speech Saturday during the National Pro-Life Summit in Washington,
