Jim Bakker blames "the media" for him going to jail...

And the "cancel culture."

No, you corrupt SOB, Bakker. You took church money for luxuries, and you STILL are lying, he's still selling that silver solution to "cure" whatever he says.

Jim Bakker Claims His Imprisonment for Fraud Was an Example of ‘Cancel Culture’

On Friday’s episode of his television program, “The Jim Bakker Show,” Bakker claimed that he had been framed by the government and insisted that his conviction and imprisonment were early examples of “cancel culture.”

“They canceled me,” Bakker said. “Mainly it was the media, and the media got a Pulitzer Prize for putting me in prison. That’s what they do, they reward the enemies of the gospel. And the cancel culture, we had the largest ministry of its type in the world—Heritage USA—millions of people came there, and it was millions being saved around the world, and they literally took it away.”

That man once said:

Send me $1000 for a round of golf for Jebus.

Tammy Faye was a case, too.

Because I prayed and prayed for Baker’s fall and conviction.

Isn’t that the way it works? Evangelicals tell you to just pray and ask Jesus and - you get what you want!!
