Father Calvin Robinson, a right-wing priest with ties to the UK’s far-right movement, was removed from his church after performing a salute reminiscent of Elon Musk’s controversial gesture at Trump’s inauguration rally. Robinson claims it was a joke mocking liberal outrage, but the Anglican Catholic Church took swift action, drawing a clear line between political expression and extremist signaling. The panel discusses the implications of religious leaders engaging in radical rhetoric and contrasts Robinson’s actions with Minister Buddy’s call for compassion and inclusion. They note the long history of religious institutions aligning with fascism and mock Robinson’s complaints that liberals criticizing him are the real fascists. They also find it ironic that he claims victimhood after deliberately provoking outrage. The discussion highlights the hypocrisy of extremists using religion as a shield while pushing hateful ideologies.
