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.

Thank you very much and God bless you,

To note; Jasmine will only have served 2 terms in congress - and not eligible for a pension package.
‘Gotta pay us what you owe us’
Do we deduct the billions in welfare minorities got over the last 60 years?
Ruin nation for them and us.
Obama made fat this will finish it.
Too big not to fail
Yup. Turn coat MTG proved that she’s smarter than Jazzy. She served exactly 5 years to qualify for a pension. Despicable.
Most slaves were brought to the US under British rule. How about getting them to pay.
Also, if blacks pay back for all the welfare, Section 8, crime, prisons, attorneys provided for them, propping up their HBCUs, DEI benefits, quotas, etc., let’s then have the discussion.
Oh really? And how many years were you a slave, Reverend?
And me? I never owned a single slave.
If anything they owe America but I’m a nice guy so I’ll let them keep their money
The dims are stuck in the 20’s. 1920’s.
I was thinking more along the lines of testing the DNA and shipping them back to the old country, being generous and handing them 40 acres and a mule...AGAIN, but over there
I never owned slaves and I am sure these blokes were never retained as slaves. I owe them zero.
They’d just eat the mules and kill one another over who owns the last one.
BTW...Looks like the ‘pastor’ brought his Hoochie Mama with him, there
The good news is that he is probably as stupid as her. Since he is her pastor, he is also a crook and a philanderer.

Agree. And a one-way ticket over there.
Never pay a blackmailer. They'll never go away.

It seems being a “pastor” is the ticket for all these kooks getting into politics. Substandard English and all.
Cool! I’ll agree to that! And since I don’t owe you sh*t, I’ll be paying you nothing.
Glad we had this little chat.
I figure they owed 1 boat ride back to Africa .
“the only way to bring salvation to America - you gotta pay us what you owe us”
Is that what Jesus would say, ‘christian’ pastor Haynes? My Bible kinda hints at the opposite.
