Burns appeared on the Real America's Voice program "The Water Cooler" Monday, where he proclaimed that "the gospel of Jesus Christ should be [at] the center of American politics." When asked by host David Brody what he meant by that, Burns declared that "any law that is against the word of God" must be overturned.
"Laws that are contrary to God's word that are actively legal or laws today need to be overturned," Burns said. "Any law that is against the word of God, that is clearly against what God has said in his word—in a nation that is a Christian nation, a nation that has the majority of citizens who actively believe that Jesus is the Messiah, that he is coming back again with omnipotent power in his hands—if it's against the word of God and it's actively a law today, then it should be overturned. We should have a moral compass, and right now in America, we're losing that moral compass. The liberal left is slowly [chipping] away."
Burns was a proponent of the movement to keep former President Donald Trump in power. He has made numerous calls for war, including on the eve of the Capitol insurrection when he riled up Trump loyalists at a Stop the Steal rally by telling them, “We’re ready to do war!”
