Burton — A few days before clouds of black smoke rose above Grand Blanc Township from an attack on a Mormon church, Kris Johns encountered a man who went on an anti-Mormon tirade that was so strong that Johns recorded a voice memo Friday about his encounter.

Johns, who is a candidate for the Burton City Council, said Monday that he had spoken to "a guy, former Marine, (who) went to Iraq, and somehow, got to Utah" while campaigning on Sept. 22. The man had lived in Utah for a period of time in 2010 and 2011. After 20 minutes of pleasantries, the conversation took a turn from the Second Amendment to anti-Mormon sentiments.


“It kept going to, ‘They’re trying to put people above Jesus,’ and ‘They’re not Christians,’" Johns said. “He did make the statement that ‘Mormons are the Antichrist.’”
