Michigan priest has license revoked by church after mimicking Musk’s straight-arm gesture

LANSING, Mich. (AP) — A priest in Grand Rapids, Michigan, had his license revoked by the Anglican Catholic Church after the priest mimicked a straight-arm gesture performed by Elon Musk earlier this month. The church said in a statement Calvin Robinson’s license had been revoked after he made a “gesture that many have interpreted as a pro-Nazi salute.” Robinson made the gesture during a Jan. 25 speech at the National Pro-Life Summit in Washington, D.C. Robinson said in a statement posted to social media that it was a “joke” and that “in case it needs saying: I am not a Nazi.” Musk’s gesture that Robinson was mimicking came in a Jan. 20 speech during celebrations of Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration.
