WASHINGTON – A pastor who led prayer at a Ted Cruz rally Saturday was shot outside his church the next day.

“We long for people who really want to serve you,” Remington said during a prayer. “We want a man who isn’t afraid to place his hand on a Bible.”

According to The Associated Press, Remington has faced several threats from drug addicts his church helps through a faith-based recovery program.

The state’s GOP primary is March 8.

I hope he recovers quickly

We offer too little help to troubled people, too many guns to everybody, and too little sympathy to the folk we disagree with

Remember the Clinton death list?

Will Republicans add this man to a Cruz death list or will this be Clinton's fault as well?
