Radical progressive firebrand Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Tex.) may be leaving the House at the end of her term, due to running for U.S. Senate, but the Democrat who appears poised to run for her House seat is just as radical as she is.
From the Washington Free Beacon: Dallas pastor Frederick Haynes, who hailed anti-Semitic preacher Louis Farrakhan as a “great” man and lashed out at Israel in a sermon just one day after the Oct. 7 Hamas attack, is running to replace a member of his congregation in Congress: firebrand House Democrat Jasmine Crockett (Texas).
Haynes filed paperwork for Texas’s 30th district on Monday, shortly after Crockett launched a campaign for Senate. “She’s the baddest sister out there,” Haynes, the pastor of Friendship-West Baptist Church, said at a Senate kickoff event for Crockett.
Haynes is likely to have an advantage in the race thanks to his alliance with Crockett, who frequently attends Friendship-West and has called Haynes her mentor. It’s a natural pairing, given that Haynes, like Crockett, has a tendency to make inflammatory remarks.
Haynes, for example, posted a selfie with Farrakhan at a 2017 event and referred to the Nation of Islam leader, who once called Adolf Hitler a “great man,” as a “wonderful and great man.” His mentor, meanwhile, is Jeremiah Wright, the former pastor of Barack Obama who stoked outrage during the 2008 presidential race over a sermon in which he shouted, “God damn America.”
The report notes that Haynes’ disdain for Israel has been prominent, including in a sermon he delivered on Oct. 8, 2023 – just one day after the Hamas terror attack against Israel.
During that sermon – where Crockett herself was actually in the audience, Haynes mocked, “I recognize that we gotta be pro-Israel, yeah we got to do that, or we get in trouble. Well, I’m coming to get in trouble.” He then slammed the United States for standing with Israel in a raging tirade.
He also praised Crockett for being so combative in Congress, boasting, “That congresswoman be going in on them folk. You be goin’ in girl, I got it from you.”
Haynes posted a photo of himself with Farrakhan on social media on December 15, 2017, and wrote, “Just finished delivering Commencement address at Grambling State University. @LouisFarrakhan was attending the graduation of his beloved granddaughter! His gracious and generous compliments touched my heart! A wonderful and great man!”
