Early in 2025, British cleric Calvin Robinson was stripped of his license to serve as a priest in the Anglican Catholic Church after he closed out his remarks at the National Pro-Life Summit by delivering a Nazi-like salute.

While Robinson's gesture was intended to be a humorous reference to the one delivered by Elon Musk during President Donald Trump's inauguration, Archbishop Mark Haverland did not see the humor, announcing that Robinson was "alleged to have made statements that were anti-semitic, or in sympathy with anti-semitic groups" and this was the final straw.
Despite this well-known controversy, just one year later, Robinson was among those invited to speak at an "Unleashed" conference organized and hosted by White House Faith Director Paula White through her National Faith Advisory Board.
Robinson opened his remarks at the conference on February 20 by directly thanking White for having the courage to include him.
"Many of you won't know this, but Pastor Paula White was one of the first friends I made when I came over here," Robinson said. "When I first got into this country, a mutual friend of ours connected us and said, 'You are fighting the battle for Christ, she is fighting the battle for Christ; you two need to connect.'"
"This is my sister," he continued. "This is someone who's fighting the good fight ... I'm assuming that Pastor Paula White would have taken some flack from inviting me here today. So I just wanted to take a moment to say I appreciate you and I see you."
If there were any doubts about Robinson's antisemitism, those were put to rest when he appeared in person on a program hosted by virulently antisemitic Christian nationalist pastor Joel Webbon last week.
Robinson and Webbon are well acquainted, as Robinson spoke at a conference organized by Webbon in 2025 and also interviewed Webbon on his own podcast the year before. During the most recent broadcast, Robinson announced that he will soon begin hosting a program on Webbon's NXR network and will also be releasing a book on Webbon's imprint.
The book is to be called "Silent Jihad: Ten Steps To Save America From Islamic Invasion," and while it is obviously focused on Islam, Webbon and Robinson explained that it will also allege that Jews are to blame for rampant Muslim immigration and that both groups need to be kicked out of the country.
"I get attacked on this from both sides because I mention the problem of Islam of people are like, 'Yeah, but it's the Jews who opened the door.' I'm like, 'Yeah.' I mention the problem of Judaism, and they're like, 'Yeah, but the Muhammadans are raping your daughters,'" Robinson said. "These are both issues. They both need addressing. Islam has taken over, yes; it's the broom of the Jews and they have opened the gates and it's the reason we have barbarians everywhere. But the barbarians need dealing with and we're not dealing with them. They are literally raping our daughters, so let's get them out and let's close the doors and let's kick out the people who are opening the doors too."
Elsewhere in the program, Webbon and Robinson asserted that Jews are responsible for rap music, which they claim is designed to enrage the masses, and referenced a conspiracy theory about the adoption of an international musical pitch standard, which is sometimes described as a Nazi plot but attributed by Robinson to “the Rothschilds and the Rockefellers.”
"It's degenerate by design," Robinson said. "It's not just about the lyrics. It's about the music itself. So Mozart's music was shaped around the mass. It was shaped around the Christian theology and the worship of God. Rap music was centered around rebellion against society and it was sexuality, violence. But it's deeper than just the words or the beats; it's the frequencies. In 1939, the Rothschilds and the Rockefellers came together, got some scientists and some musicians together, and said, 'Let's shift the frequency of A' from—was it 440 hertz to 453 hertz? Look it up—and essentially, they want the masses to be enraged, to be ready for war. They don't want the masses to be peaceful and seeking God."
"That's so good," Webbon replied. "So, what you're telling me is it's not just the lyrics, but rap, the music itself is Jewish?"
"Yes," answered Robinson.
"I love it," declared Webbon.
Webbon’s antisemitism leads to support for religious discrimination; he wants the U.S. to operate as a Christian nation in which Jews and other non-Christians would not be allowed to hold public office.
At a time when Trump's own Religious Liberty Commission is embroiled in controversy over allegations of antisemitism, why is Paula White, who in addition to serving on the Religious Liberty Commission is also Trump's personal faith adviser and Senior Advisor to the White House Faith Office, inviting someone like Robinson to speak at her National Faith Advisory Board conferences?
