There is no mistake it was intentional. As Christian it was a very insensitive gesture. Considering we just observed Holocaust Memorial Day, with warnings from survivors for the future, it was in very poor taste.

He is entitled to freedom of expression, and I will defend his Right to do so. But it should come as no surprise that though legal and protected by the first amendment, one will suffer repercussions socially.

And to smile after, really?

Are those who are not US citizens entitled to free expression by the US constitution?
 
I think they get some jollies pushing the envelope on all things 1930s Germany.
The Anglican Priest smiled after giving that salute. What an odd sense of humor.

I just don’t understand anyone remotely mimicking anything related to 1930s Germany. There’s no humor in that dark era.

They are dog whistling. Antisemites are an enthusiastic part of their base.
 
Nazi salutes... it is the 'hipness' thing to do in today's conservativism.

Hey, it seems to get liberal panties in a bunch- and isn't that what it's all about after all? They will do whatever it takes to do that.

It was a Nazi Salute

No doubt

But if that excites you in trolling

It says very little of you as a person

I think he was being satirical.
 
You will notice that he hasn't been arrested.

That is all the first amendment protects you from.
He was fired

As it was a dick head move
