House Candidate Calls For Smashing Car Windows Of Antifa Activists: “I Will Will Smith Them In A Heartbeat”

Kyle Mantyla reports at Right Wing Watch:

Mark Burns, an unabashed Christian nationalist Trump-loving pastor who is running for Congress in South Carolina, urged conservatives to start smashing the car windows of anti-fascist activists. Burns spoke at the ReAwaken America rally in Keizer, Oregon, last weekend, where event organizers claimed that “antifa” protestors outside the event were placing sharp objects under the wheels of attendee’s cars in an effort to pop their tires.

“You see an antifa flag, knock out their window,” Burns advocated. “Forgive me, Jesus,” he then added, facetiously. “Lord, forgive me. I’m asking for forgiveness right now. The Bible says that ‘the Kingdom suffers violence and the violent take it by force,’” Burns declared, quoting Matthew 11. “I will Will Smith them in a heartbeat,” Burns pledged. “I’ll put one of them to sleep.”

Burns is challenging GOP incumbent Rep. William Timmons, who voted to overturn the result of the 2020 election.

Timmons, who beat his Democratic opponent that year by 24 points, holds Trey Gowdy’s former seat.

On his campaign website, Pastor Burns rages against LGBTQ rights and abortion.

As you may recall, in 2016 Burns literally jumped out of his chair and fled a CNN interview [second video below] after he was busted for lying about his military service and for lying about having a college degree.

Burns later claimed he was “attacked” by CNN because he’s a black man who supports Trump.
