Calvin Robinson, priest-in-charge at St. Paul’s Anglican Catholic Church, was defrocked Thursday, Jan. 29, after church leadership learned he’d made the controversial salute to a crowd at the National Pro-Life Summit on Jan. 25 in Washington, D.C.

Elon Musk has responded to allegations that he performed a Nazi salute at President Donald Trump 's inauguration, calling it a "dirty trick" by his critics.
