A pastor in Texas with connections to one of Congress’s most reprehensible members decided to use his position to dance on the grave of Charlie Kirk following his assassination. Now, he is conveniently taking time off for a supposed medical procedure.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk was shot and killed at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, last week.
It was later revealed that the suspect was identified as Tyler Robinson, 22, of Utah. Robinson was reportedly turned in by his father, who contacted authorities through a minister connected to law enforcement.
A good pastor would use this opportunity to ask his fellow Christians to pray for the Kirk family. But Dr. Frederick D. Haynes III of Friendship-West Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas, saw fit to not only make light of the Kirk assassination but also make fun of his faith in God.
One fascinating factoid about Haynes: he is the pastor of far-left, race-baiting Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX). Could Crockett have acquired some of her hatred from this supposed ‘man of God ‘?
“Have you thought about the fact that this week in Utah that a white “Christian” got killed by a white Christian?” Haynes asked his pew members on Sunday. “And the next day, HBCUs were under threat!”
“Now, how did we get here?” he continued, throwing up his arms in mock confusion. “Oh, that’s called white-on-white crime.”
Making light of an assassination and trashing someone’s faith can only cause Jesus to weep.
WATCH:
Here’s wider context. To his credit, Haynes says “he still should be alive. He still should be playing with his kids. He still should be experiencing the love [of] his wife.”

Haynes went on to unfavorably compare Kirk to black civil rights leaders such as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., falsely claiming Kirk was not assassinated.
“A white Christian gets killed…Not assassinated,” Haynes said before listing a series of black civil rights figures who were assassinated. “Don’t compare Kirk to King!”
Hours after Haynes’s sick sermon, Friendship-West Baptist Church announced that he would be taking “a temporary medical leave of absence.”
CBS News Texas reports Haynes is scheduled to undergo surgery and will spend the coming weeks focused on recovery.
“While this is a personal challenge, I stand firm in my faith and have complete confidence in God’s healing power,” Haynes said in a statement. “James 5:15 reminds us, ‘And the prayer of faith shall save the sick.’ ”
“I am profoundly grateful for your prayers, love, support, understanding, and respect for my privacy during this time, and I look forward to returning after my recovery.”
While this could all be a coincidence, the timing is certainly interesting.
