A video of the racist American pastor emerged online showing him pursuing a hotel employee and slapping him several times on claims that he “disgraced Jesus.”

In the video, Taylor kept trying to aggravate Francis, and also turned on a man in a blue shirt who attempted to intervene, telling him;
““NO! NO! You obey what I say. I don’t obey you. Open my f****** room now! You b**** Look at me! Look at Christ who died for you,” the American says.

Find out which mission he represents and kick them out of Uganda…oh and please they aren’t welcome to Kenya either. ImmigrationDept take note of this racist missionary and Vietnam veteran.
