#podcast #politics #religion #Michigan #GrandRapids #MichiganPolitics #Diversity #Hate #Race #MAGA #ElonMusk #Trump #LeftOfLansingHere's the Left of Lansing "Friday Short" for January 31, 2025.A Grand Rapids priest was removed from his position with the Anglican Catholic Church for appearing to mimic Elon Musk's recent "salute," which appeared to many critics to look similar to a Nazi salute.Calvin Robinson lost his position, but still defended his "salute" which he says was in response to "hysterical liberals" who took Musk's salute out of context.Robinson is no stranger to right-wing politics, which is why he proudly aligns himself with Musk, Trump, and the MAGA Cult. Robinson is a perfect illustration of what MAGA Republicanism is all about, but is that what Christianity is all about?Please, subscribe to the podcast, download each episode, and give it a good review if you [email protected] of Lansing is now on YouTube as well!leftoflansing.comNOTES:"Grand Rapids priest kicked out of job over Nazi-like salute."
