Right -wing priest Calvin Robinson was 'kicked out of a church' after doing an Elon Musk 'Salute' during a meeting that he says was 'Dry Wit'.
The controversial spiritual has said that he is 'not a Nazi' after performing the gesture at the end of his speech at the National Pro-Life Summit in Washington DC on Friday.
Only a few days later, the 39-year-old priest, who is also the spokesperson for Ukip and a broadcaster, was removed from the Anglican Catholic Church (ACC) with higher UPS who suspend his permit to practice.
The pro-life event was only criticized a few days after Musk was criticized for making a 'greeting' during a party for the inauguration of Donald Trump.
Robinson, who is pronounced on the subject of abortion and pro-life cases, had given a speech for a delicious crowd while conservatives continue to enjoy the election victory of Trump.
At the end of his speech, Robinson told the audience: 'God bless you all for what you do. Please do it please. My heart goes out to you '.
He was then seen that he was removing his arm and mimics the gesture by Musk Days earlier, causing the laughter and applause from the crowd.
The ACC said that many have interpreted the gesture as a 'pro-Nazi greeting' and that his actions are 'incompatible with a priestly calling'.

Robinson said the gesture was an attempt to be 'dry humor' after being criticized by people online
The gesture was similar to one of Elon Musk, which stretched his right arm in an upward corner during a Maga rally that celebrated Donald Trump's inauguration
Bishop Chandler Holder Jones, the President Bishop of the province of Anglican province of America, said that the church had “withdrew” the permit of Robinson.
In a statement on social media site X, which has since been removed, he said: 'Although we cannot say what is in the heart of Mr. Robinson was when he did this, his action seems to have been an attempt to have the favor of providing certain elements of American political law through his opposition.
'Mr. Robinson was warned that online trolls and other such actions (either in the service of left or right) are incompatible with a priestly calling and was told to arise.
“It is clear that he did not withdraw his permit in this church. He no longer serves as a priest in the ACC.
“We also understand that this is not just an administrative issue. The Holocaust was an episode of ineffable horror, performed by a regime of bad men.
“We condemn Nazi ideology and anti-Semitism in all its forms. And we believe that those who mimic the Nazi -greeting, even as a joke or an attempt to troll their opponents, trivialize the horror of the Holocaust and decrease the sacrifice of those who fought against his perpetrators. Such actions are harmful, divided and unlike the principles of Christian charity. '
Robinson has denied being a Nazi and says he is flooded with abuse of 'very bitter, mean, angry left'.
“Today I received hundreds of annoying calls, texts, voicemails and e -mails today from very bitter, angry, common leftish people,” he posted on X.

In a complete explanation after it was announced that the church had removed him as a priest, Robinson insisted that he was “not a Nazi” and said he “prayed” for the people who criticized him
'They are often exactly what they accuse you about. I am not a Nazi. But I forgive you from your ignorance. My heart goes out to you! . '
He added that the gesture was an attempt for 'dry humor, in that typical British way' and a 'spot of the hysterical' liberals' that Elon Musk called a Nazi because he was pretty clear that his heart was with them . ''
He said that his speech at the pro-life event was well received and he was happy that he contributed to 'the main causes'.
The ACC was the fourth denomination of which the former computer science teacher has been a member of since 2022.
Originally member of the Church of England, he moved to the Free Church of England when he was not a deacon in London, after other bishops had expressed concern about his 'libertarian anti-wok, anti-identity policy, Covid-Skeptic' views.
He later joined the Northern Catholic Church before moving to the US, where he became a member of the ACC.
Earlier a GB news presenter, he was fired for supporting Dan Wootton Online after he had made sexist comments against journalist Ava Evans.
On Tuesday, actress Sophia Bush took out at Elon Musk in a series of social media messages.
Musk turned around and made the same 'awkward hand gesture' to the crowd behind him
But Musk went to his social media platform X to defend himself and stated that his opponents needed 'better dirty tricks'
In a message to her Instagram account, the 42-year-old wrote: “If it runs like Nazi, talks like a Nazi and throws HHS like a Nazi … it's a Nazi.”
She continued in another message: 'Don't be like Elon. Weersta Fascism ', before following up different posts that describe the rise of Nazism in Germany before the Second World War.
In the meantime, it was reported yesterday that Elon Musk Tim Walz threatened to sue after the former Democratic vice -presidential candidate claimed that the CEO of Tesla did a 'Nazi -greeting' at the inauguration of Donald Trump.
And last week he accused his critics of needing 'better dirty tricks' after they compared his 'uncomfortable hand gesture' with a Nazi greeting.
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL), an organization that has been established to combat anti-Semitism that Musk has criticized in the past, defended the billionaire and said he seems to have made it uncomfortable in a moment of enthusiasm, none Nazi greeting '.
The ADL also noted that Trump's inauguration was a 'delicate moment' and that 'political is' but insisted on 'all parties' to offer each other 'piece of grace' and 'perhaps even the benefit of the doubt' .
The doubtful gesture of Musk came after he has made various statements in recent weeks to support the extreme right-wing backside of Germany.
