Koran-burning pastor running for president

A Florida pastor notorious for burning the Koran intends to seek the nation’s highest office in 2016.

“I believe most all politicians are politicians,” Terry Jones said Monday during an interview with ABC’s local affiliate in Bradenton, Fla.

“They’re not telling the American people the truth,” he added. “I’m running for president. Vote for me.”

Jones plans on running for president as an independent, Christian Today reported Wednesday.
