So sorry!
Donald Trump surrogate Pastor Mark Burns has apologized after taking heat for this tweet of Hillary Clinton in blackface and a T-shirt that reads, “NO HOT SAUCE NO PEACE”:
Burns has since deleted the tweet and apologized, both last night and this morning:
I'm so sorry for the offensive #Blackface image of @HillaryClinton but stand by the message that we Blacks ARE being Used by #Dems for VOTES

Burns’ cleanup, however, is not quite complete. This retweet of a debunked photo alleged to be Bill and Hillary is still on his timeline as of this publishing of this post:
Oops.
Burns was reportedly instrumental in setting up Donald Trump’s visit to Great Faith Ministries in Detroit this Saturday:
