Elon Musk Nazi Salute Copycat

I originally saw this on Bluesky, but here is a link - https://www.mediaite.com/news/reverend-throws-nazi-like-salute-at-pro-life-rally-in-dc-in-trollish-nod-to-elon-musk-controversy/

At the end of his remarks, Robinson made a gesture with his right hand that looked very clearly like a Nazi salute - and seemingly was intended to mimic Elon Musk. He snickered, and the audience laughed. This was at the 2025 National Pro-Life Summit. A self-described Christian man using a symbol of death to inspire people at a conference that is supposed to celebrate life.

This is exactly the kind of thing that those who were quick to point out that Musk gave a Nazi salute, were afraid of.

Yeah, sadly, this tracks for "Christianity" these days.

This must be a Bot, an idiot, or a 12-year old Trumper who thinks they are being clever.

It’s the same type of post they have done all over the Political threads.

We should let this fully play out and then see what people like Miriam Adelson have to say when she funds Trump's PAC with $100M. Let the Jews bring back Nazism to America. It'll be a great day for them.

I'm a little surprised we haven't seen much analysis on the obvious fact that there's political Christianity and spiritual Christianity now. MAGA is politically Christian and is closely aligned with white Evangelicals and conservative Catholics.

Maga is much nuttier and more dangerous than conservative Catholics, IMO. The conservative Catholics I know in my life (not me, I'm an atheist) are typical (olden days? traditional?) conservative Republicans, sure, but not Maga.

For example, my aunt is very anti-abortion even in cases where it is needed to save the mother's life. That's god's will in her opinion. However, she is not against birth-right citizenship. She wants our borders secured but she is not anti-immigration or racist toward POC. She wants welfare reform but does not want the programs eliminated. She has been pretty critical of Trump's EOs on freezing federal funds and thinks it's a terrible idea that will make people and the economy suffer. She does not think Trump is a Christian or religious at all. She thinks he fakes it. She doesn't support gay marriage in that she will never attend one, but she's not homophobic. I'm a lesbian and my cousin, her son, is gay. We aren't banished from her house or life. She didn't come to my wedding. She did send a lovely card and gift. I was fine with that. My wife and my kids are all welcome at her house for the holidays. I think her stance on attending a gay wedding will change when my cousin, her son, is old enough to marry. I find it hard to believe she'll miss that. She's never missed any of the other stereotypically gay things he does (ribbon dancer, ballet, theatre).

Looked like a conservative Catholic. I'm really not surprised they are open to giving Nazi salutes.

I am sincerely glad that you get along with your aunt despite your differences. I was more talking about the Opus Dei type Catholics - there are four on the Supreme Court. They are definitely part of a political movement that has more in common with MAGA than Catholicism.

Christian fascism is here, I guess. Well, or just out in the open.

What a POS.

The ultra conservative Catholics would gladly plant trees so that the Nazis could march in the shade.

It was a Nazi salute when Musk did it. I know a lot of people on the spectrum. They don’t accidentally give Nazi salutes. Maga will continue to be terrible. Just let it go. Let them be the party of Nazis openly.

I’m Catholic and know lots of MAGA Catholics. I do my best to avoid them.

I want to be so clear about this.
We dont give AF what YOU think.
We are posting this because there are reasonable human people left in America.
That you are not one of them, doesn't concern us. Is not relevant. You are not important at ALL. You are possibly the least important person on earth in this moment, where liberals are concerned.
Hope that clears it up.

I can't believe that this person is not concerned right now.
My jewish aunt just sold her tesla after musk performance and told me she was not into the 'swastikar'.

A public figure has an obligation and must attend to behavior with great care. To have made a gesture that could be interpreted have any ambiguous is a problem.
It conveys a lack of understanding of one’s role or perhaps an intentional choice. Either way, it deserves examination.
