Trump mouthpiece Pastor Mark Burns

[left-of-center2012]

Burns is the 'pastor' who put out the 'blackface' cartoon* of Hillary Clinton.

Since I have had two brothers, now deceased, who went to seminary and became ministers, I was curious what kind of 'pastor' Mr Burns is. I found this on Wikipedia:

"Burns was born in Anderson, South Carolina on September 21, 1979 to parents Pastor Otis and Evangelist Debra Burns.

In 1995, at the age of 16, Burns was licensed as a Minister of The Gospel (by his father Otis Burns) at The Mt. Pleasant Missionary Baptist Church in Pelzer, SC.

...he received a South Carolina GED from the SC Board of Education.

Burns later continued his education at the North Greenville University's School of Business."
(He got a GED for high school, and it doesn't indicate he graduated from North Greenville University's School of Business)

So basically he's a 'pastor' because his daddy said so?
Oh, and he's a televangelist, so keep those dollars rolling in!

1. The Burns half assed apology was later followed by his posting

of a fake, debunked pic of Bill Clinton embracing a person in blackface.

2. Unfortunately I don’t think you need a degree to decide you're a "pastor"

Figures that Don the Con would have similar con man surrogates.

3. For some reason he reminds me of Don King.

He just blabbers on and on. Makes sure he talks over folks and repeats the same phrases. Only in America.

4. "Pastors" like that are con artists - preying on the ignorant

I'm an atheist and I probably have more education on religion than he does.
