3 days of B.S. from 2 desperate con men

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell has joined forces with televangelist Jim Bakker for a 3-day telethon filled with election conspiracy theories and pleas for pillow purchases....

The televangelist complained that "the enemy" had seized his bank accounts. He said that he needed the public to buy Lindell's Bible-themed pillows "just to stay alive."

"That's the cancel culture," Lindell agreed, pointing out that most major retailers have stopped selling his pillows.

The broadcast was sprinkled with conspiracy theories disputing former President Donald Trump's loss in the 2020 election.

"We're going to take back what was stole from us!" Bakker exclaimed at one point.

Something in the Bible about forked tongues. If one ever wished to see the devil at work and false prophets, Bakker's side-show is the thing to watch.

I suppose he thinks pillows are a safer bet.

Of course there was also his famous drug/rape/hush money scandal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Bakker#Sexual_misconduct_and_resignation
