Televangelist Jim Bakker, who went to jail decades ago for scamming his television congregation, is back in hot water for the same thing.
Bakker is being sued by the state of Missouri for selling a “Silver Solution” product that supposedly cured COVID-19, SARS, and sexually transmitted infections, and prevented HIV.
His lawyers argue that Bakker’s “religious freedom” allows him to sell the concoction because he believes it was “divinely inspired.” Related: Far-right evangelicals & pundits’
