Haynes, the long-time pastor of Friendship-West Baptist Church in southern Dallas, won the primary against Crockett on Tuesday evening. He entered the race after her failed bid for the U.S. Senate, and he even received her endorsement.

The Sunday after Kirk’s assassination, Haynes went on a vile rant to his congregation during his sermon.

“A white Christian gets killed, murdered, not assassinated,” Haynes declared from the pulpit.

He went on to say, “We gonna tell the whole truth today. Martin King got assassinated. Malcolm X got assassinated. Don’t compare Kirk to King. Ain’t no such comparison now.”

While claiming to be “anti-political violence” and stating that “Kirk should still be alive,” Haynes didn’t hold back with his clear disdain.

“What Kirk said was dangerous. What Kirk said was racist, rooted in white supremacy, nasty, and hate-filled,” he continued.

Jasmine Crockett’s replacement in Congress will be none other than her pastor Frederick Haynes.

The Sunday after Charlie Kirk’s murder, he attacked him as a “dangerous, hate-filled white Christian” who wasn’t assassinated.https://t.co/GgEhOx48Lbpic.twitter.com/u4t5pDVOrM

Haynes has a history of extremist and inflammatory rhetoric.
