Newsweek reports:
The South Carolina pastor who said the GOP needs “demon-killing machines” lost his primary on Tuesday.
Republican candidate Mark Burns was defeated by incumbent Representative William Timmons in the GOP primary for the state’s 4th Congressional District, receiving less than 24 percent of the vote at the time the race was called.
Despite being a longtime supporter of Trump, Burns did not earn a coveted endorsement from the former president. Trump instead backed Timmons, who voted against certifying the results of the 2020 presidential election.

As you may recall, in 2016 Burns literally jumped out of his chair and fled a CNN interview after he was busted for lying about his military service and for lying about having a college degree. It must be what Jesus would want. Burns later claimed he was “attacked” by CNN because he’s a black man who supports Trump.
