MAGA pastor Mark Burns just made it clear he doesn’t think Donald Trump’s history of grabbing women against their will is a big deal – because God forgives, and so do voters. In a May 12, 2026, interview, Burns, who’s reportedly a spiritual adviser to Trump, told The New Yorker’s Isaac Chotiner that “it doesn’t matter” what the president has done in his past.
When pressed on Trump’s own words about assaulting women, Burns doubled down, arguing that God is the ultimate judge, not people, and that voters have already spoken by electing him twice. The exchange got heated fast. According to Mediaite, Chotiner pushed back, pointing out that not everyone has “grabbed women against their will and bragged about it” or posted racist content, like a video depicting the Obamas as apes.
