Perhaps you’ve seen Pastor Mark Burns on television. He’s an African-American minister who is also an ardent supporter of Donald Trump. And on Sunday evening Burns decided to go on Twitter and blame the media for being politically correct while reporting on the bombings in New York. Specifically, Burns was upset that the media didn’t rush to judgment and call it terrorism:
Once again race baiting #Dems & #MSM failing to call it what it really is, #terrorism. We need @realDonaldTrump #ChelseaExplosion #Chelsea

Montel Williams saw the tweet from Burns and called him out for his comment:

Later, Montel also reminded everyone about the fact that Pastor Burns had lied about his credentials and calling him a “poser” and not a “pastor.” That led Burns to respond:
You can disagree with my politics, but You dont have to insult me personally. We HAVE to STOP fighting each other.. https://t.co/8ZOloUBZ6a

Montel then reminded Burns that the entire matter was none of his business:
You politicized a serious incident while law enforcement was STILL in danger – I'm a NY'er – ur not. Stay in ur lane https://t.co/980tmix5sL

The fight was on, and Burns tried to defend his ignorance:
I dont have to be FROM NY to care about whats happening IN NY. My lane is caring about MY COUNTRY. I respect you sir https://t.co/4TQWEr4ZjH

No, your "lane" is being a 1/2 bit con man pretending to be a pastor shilling Trump for ??. My resume is accurate 😉 https://t.co/N4uPQviR7O

You lecturing anyone about integrity, honesty or civility when you sold yourself out to Trump for ? is ironic. https://t.co/980tmix5sL

Let's not try that tactic – this is con man 101 – I've never claimed to be perfect. I wear my flaws on my sleeve https://t.co/I5FHPXs3xo

Mark Burns, much like Donald Trump himself, is a fake, a fraud, a con man, and will soon be consigned to the dustbin of history after the November election.
