Former GBeebies cleric Calvin Robinson’s mega-awkward YMCA performance at a Christian MAGA event got dragged into next year – 15 favourite reactions
People often call Donald Trump brave – for speaking his mind, for swimming against the tide, and for stepping out in front of his fans after two possible assassination attempts. We’ve yet to be convinced that all those things can’t be explained away by bigotry, naked ambition and a strong desire to be able to pardon himself or end the court cases against him.
We do, however, think that he’s got some cojones for appearing at a Christian faith event, when the chances of direct lightning strikes upon his person have to be considerably larger than usual.
All the sins this man has committed I’m surprised he didnt start burning as they prayed

We can’t work out which part of this is the cringiest – the laying on of hands, the suggestion that Trump is some sort of anointed one – or the dancing.
The "faith" events with everyone laying hands on Trump and praying. Then the YMCA hits and Paula White starts dancing. pic.twitter.com/4J2BIldt7h

The eagle-eyed amongst you might have caught a glimpse of the former GB News presenter, so-called priest, and homophobic bigot, Calvin Robinson. Word spread.
Apparently Donald Trump has just appeared on stage with Altar Mitty himself…. Calvin Robinson… doing YMCA but I won't believe it until I see it pic.twitter.com/9QnyCfgQ1d

There was even a better clip – if seeing more of the man known as Altar Mitty can be described in positive terms.
When you're GB News, drop out Calvin Robinson.
And you're at a Trump rally.
And YMCA starts to play.
And you decide to go for it.
And I'm honestly not sure who should be more embarrassed. pic.twitter.com/wTGz4tO6A3

There’s not enough ointment in the world for the burns that followed – including these.
1.
Altar Mitty channeling a bit of David Brent, a bit of Richard Coles
Look how into it he gets when the chorus of YMCA drops
Look how much attention the people around him give the guy.
The acting quality at the end is on par with his pal Loz Fox. pic.twitter.com/F7NmRsnBNJ

Former GB News presenter / Islamophobic hate preacher Calvin Robinson made a complete ass of himself in front of Donald Trump at some kind of weird right wing Christian event in America today. The footage is .. https://t.co/lYnaKz12Ch

Shortly before moving to America, Calvin Robinson tried to get his followers to crowdfund the purchase of a remote Scottish island.
Sadly this fell through when he was denied planning permission for a 50 foot tall wicker statue, on the grounds that it was a fire hazard. pic.twitter.com/IgPCAe9DLP

I once spent the longest minute of my life at a party talking to a big telly star I’d mistaken for a friend of mine only slowly noticing the look of pity/horror on her face…
Still not anywhere near as embarrassing as this… https://t.co/oYpeNnSnCt
