Pastor Mark Burns, a nationally-renowned motivational speaker and surrogate for the Trump presidential campaign, told WPRO’s Tara Granahan that the state needs to elect Joe Trillo as governor in order to “make Rhode Island great again.” The Evangelical Christian pastor is in town to stump for the former state representative and speak at an event tonight at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Warwick. Burns reacted to Governor Gina Raimondo’s statements on The News with Gene Valicenti this morning, where she criticized President Trump’s tax reform and added, she didn’t think he was doing a good job for Rhode Island. The pastor also talked about race relations today, Trump’s ‘s***hole’ comments, and how some Trump supporters are called “racist”. The pastor added, “It’s not racist to be proud to be an American.”
