Nazi Salutes Seem All The Rage In MAGA World Now UPDATED

Right Wing Watch caught Anglo-Catholic Priest Calvin Robinson, now of Michigan, ending his speech to the National Pro-Life Summit with the Nazi salute recently revived and imported to the U.S. by Apartheid boy and illegal immigrant, Elon Musk.

As Robinson ended his speech, he said, “This is the last stand for Christendom. The whole of the old world is crumbling. Every country in Europe is embracing death. America, as far as I can see, is the only country fighting for life.”

“So God bless all of you for what you’re doing, please keep doing it,” Robinson continued. “I hope I can encourage you and my heart goes out to you.”

At that moment, Robinson gave the Nazi salute.

He followed that with a smug smile and a “God bless.”

He got very enthusiastic applause and cheers.

Father Calvin Robinson finished his remarks at the National Pro-Life Summit by throwing an Elon Musk salute, much to the delight of the crowd.

Pardoned J6 Rioter Brought A Gun To A Cop Fight, Now Un-Alive

I am unsure whether this should be classified as a FAFO post or not, so I will leave it open to interpretation. My view is that a large majority of criminals who get pardoned end up reoffending afterwards or get caught up in charges for unrelated crimes committed prior to the crime that was pardoned.

In today's case, it is the former. FOX 59 Indiana is reporting that a man pardoned by Donald Trump just last week was KILLED for resisting arrest during a traffic stop. Imagine getting a free pass for a truly awful crime and then feeling so emboldened that you literally fought with a police officer to the point where they had to take lethal action to stop you!

Matthew Huttle was shot and killed during a traffic stop on Sunday afternoon after resisting arresting and getting into a physical struggle with law enforcement. This led to the deputy firing his weapon and killing Huttle. Choices made, consequences felt. Literally.

Huttle had a gun on him during the traffic stop. It is unclear what led to the attempted arrest. Huttle had served 6 months in prison for his role in the January 6th insurrection and was released from custody on July 17, 2024. He was to be on supervised release (aka probation) for a period of 12 months, although that ended when the pardon was issued.
