Jasmine Crockett's pastor, Frederick Haynes III, who announced his bid to take over Crockett's House seat shortly after she announced her now-failed bid for the U.S. Senate, won the Democratic primary for Texas's 30th Congressional District and will likely win in November due to the district being reliably blue.
By St Jude Childrens Research Hospital Haynes, who Crockett calls her pastor and mentor, runs Friendship-West Baptist Church in Dallas, where he has been at the helm for around 40 years, according to public reporting.
In a sermon the day after Hamas invaded Israel and slaughtered thousands of Israelis on Oct. 7, 2023, Haynes blasted Israeli "apartheid" and praised notorious antisemite Louis Farrakhan, who infamously compared Jews to termites in one of his sermons. In addition to Haynes' anti-Israel remarks, he has also positioned himself as a radical reparations activist who once told congregants that "America was born in political violence."
"America, you owe us. What you done to us has been immoral. It’s been evil. It’s been unjust. It’s been downright wrong and the only way to bring salvation to America - you gotta pay us what you owe us," Haynes told congregants in 2022 at the San Francisco church of failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris' longtime mentor and pastor, Amos Brown, who has made several controversial comments, including blaming the United States for the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
"If you want salvation to come to this house, you've got to engage in reparations," he continued.
In Tuesday's primary, Haynes came out with a commanding victory, garnering 72.6% of the vote, according to the Associated Press. Former Texas state representative and Dallas City Council member, Barbara Caraway, came in second with 23.1% of the vote, and another Dallas-area pastor, Rodney LaBruce, came in third with just 4.3% of the vote.

Exactly.
I doubt it.
“Do we deduct the billions in welfare minorities got over the last 60 years?”
That amount would eliminate the federal gov debt.
Hey! Stupid! Think through the analysis. Most slaves came from what is now Angola, the Congo, and Sumatra. Take the average black wage in those countries and then take the average black wage in the US. Then do a Present Value analysis for 157 years. It turns out, every black in the US owes non-blacks about $640,000 for being here rather than in those African countries, and that's just looking at wage differentials. If you include transfer payments to blacks (e.g., welfare, rent subsidies, SNAP, etc.), that sum would approach $2 million per black. Where do I sign up for my check?
He sounds like another useless
And they were enslaved by other blacks before ever leaving Africa.
This is what he said about Charlie Kirk (which I’m sure appealed to his “low information” voting base):
“What Kirk said was racist, rooted in white supremacy, nasty and hate-filled.”
My great grandfather fought for the Union in the Civil War (181st Ohio Infantry) so my part of any reparations has already been paid.
I agree. The democrats owe this guy all their money for being on the side of the slave holders and Jim Crow.

100% true. Tired old lunatic leftists (or even a younger nutjob like Crockett) will pretty much ALWAYS be replaced in their ghetto districts by somebody who makes the old lunatic seem like a moderate. Here are some other House districts to watch in November:
NOT A DAMNED PENNY NOT A FARTHING
IF THAT PIC IS TAKEN IN A “CHURCH: SOMEONE DOESN’T KNOW HOW TO PROPERLY DRESS.
NOT FAIR TO THE MULE
“This taught me that being a loud mouthed reverend, speaking about politics, is the first sign that someone is full of crap.”
