Televangelist Jim Bakker has his own problems right now, but nothing will ever stop him from spreading conspiracy theories that involve Christian persecution.

On this show yesterday, Bakker explained how Bible-believing preachers would be murdered because they support Donald Trump. He knows this for a fact because God told him.

“We supported the president, and so they want to destroy me,” Bakker said. “God spoke to me a year ago or more that the next thing that’s going to happen is that people are going to kill preachers who believe in the Bible, that believe the whole Bible is the truth.” Bakker warned that the day will soon come in which anyone who preaches against reproductive rights or marriage equality is “going to be eliminated.” “I’m very serious [about] it,” he said. “I know what’s coming. I know what the Spirit of God is saying.”

This would be more shocking if Bakker hadn’t been making the exact same claim for years.

Leave it to Bakker to deflect from his own fraudulent behavior by reminding his audience that they must live in fear all the time. He, of course, has the courage to speak up! And don’t you forget it! (And please send a check since your credit card won’t work anymore.)

If Bakker ever suffers, it’ll be because of his own actions.
