Bakker Calls For Donations In Fighting The Government Over Alleged Covit-19 Fraud . . . Government Awards Bakker Pandemic Relief
Jim_Baker_-_PTL_Broadcast_(1986)We have been following the dubious work of Rev. Jim Bakker after his release from prison, including pitching “cures†for the corona virus. There is now an interesting twist. While Bakker is being pursued by the government for possible fraud for selling fake cures for Covit-19, the government just gave him a loan to help him continue his work during the Covit-19 pandemic. Ironically, Bakker begged supporters for money to help him fight off the government. The government appears to have responded.
According to the Associated Press, Bakker was approved for an amount between $650,000 and $1.7 million in Paycheck Protection Program funds. That is useful support since he is being pursued by the Federal Drug Administration and Federal Trade Commission as well as the New York and Missouri attorneys general. While PPP loans are meant to go to specific uses like paying wages, the infusion of money can only help Bakker who was calling for supporters for emergency support.
