Anti-Mormon pastor appears on 'Charlie Kirk Show' the day after LDS church shooting

A Christian pastor who called the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints a "cult" and suggested burning the Book of Mormon appeared on "The Charlie Kirk Show" a day after a shooting at an LDS church in Michigan.

Following the shooting and fire that left four people dead at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc, right-wing pastor Mark Driscoll was welcomed by Kirk Show guest host Andrew Kolvet on Monday's podcast.

Driscoll is known for his tirades against the Mormon Church.

"Mormonism is a cult," he said in one YouTube video earlier this year. "It is not a Christian denomination, but it is trying to reposition itself as a Christian denomination, and it is not a Christian denomination. It is a cult. It is deceptive."

In April, one commenter on X noted that Driscoll had promoted a giveaway of a flame-thrower with a suggestion of burning the Book of Mormon.

"Text FLAME to 99383," Driscoll replied at the time.

During his appearance on Monday, Driscoll called Kirk a martyr for Christians.

"So a martyr is someone who dies for their faith," he explained. "And you know that somebody really believes something when they're willing to die for it. That's the ultimate allegiance that you can demonstrate."
