In reply to the discussion: Far right "priest" gives "Elon salute" aka Nazi salute at pro-life conference. [View all]ancianita
(39,441 posts)12. Nazis within Germany itself murdered 8,000 disabled children. Nazis killed 1,300,000 more children outside Germany.
Remember: No pro-life person gives a Nazi salute.
This so-called propagandist Anglican (UK) does not in any way represent the 407,000 ordained Catholic priests worldwide whose spiritual guidance is that of Francis, Bishop of Rome, always and forever an anti-Nazi, as is the Catholic Church.
Since 2024, he has been a priest in the Anglican Catholic Church; from 2022 until his priestly ordination in 2023, he had been a deacon in the Free Church of England, a conservative Anglican realignment denomination, then until 2024 a priest in the Nordic Catholic Church, a conservative Old Catholic denomination.[1][2]
As a political commentator, he is typically characterised as conservative and right-wing, and sometimes as far right, labels which he has rejected. Up to 2021 he was a regular contributor to The Daily Telegraph, the Daily Mail, and Spiked, and he has written once for First Things.[3][4][5][6] Robinson also featured as a commentator on talkRADIO and presented a regular show on GB News until he was dismissed from the latter in 2023. In February 2024, he moved his "Common Sense Crusade", which was formerly on GB News, to The Lotus Eaters,[7] and is a recurring host on their podcast.[8] On Jan. 25, 2025, while speaking at the National Pro-Life Summit in Washington, DC,[9] Robinson gave a salute similar to the Nazi salute[10] performed five days earlier by Elon Musk at a rally celebrating Donald Trump's second inauguration.

53% of Democrats are Christian. It's a mistake to interpret from this video that Christians might be stereotyped as "Nazi adjacent," or distrusted because of one Anglican pro-trump minister.
Just because Right Wing Watch conveys right wing talking points, doesn't mean DU should.

He's been a laughing stock for a few years in the UK, and decided the grifting was more rewarding in the US
