An African-American surrogate for GOP nominee Donald Trump said Monday that he is sorry if he caused offense by posting a cartoon to social media depicting Hillary Clinton in blackface.

"The Bible says if you do something and it offends a brother or sister, even though I personally may not think it was wrong, if it's offensive to one brother or one sister, then absolutely, I apologize for – you know, of course I don't want to offend anyone," pastor Mark Burns told NBC News' Hallie Jackson.

Earlier Monday afternoon, Burns tweeted a political cartoon accusing Clinton of racial pandering.
