Conservative Televangelist Jim Bakker Says Democrats Will Kill Trump If Impeachment Fails (
Newsweeklink): Longtime
Christian evangelist
Jim Bakker claimed
Democrats will "kill"
President Donald Trump if impeachment can't remove him from office. The far right-wing pastor, 79, who gained notoriety for hosting
The PTL Club alongside his first wife in the 1970s-80s, predicted Monday that
Trump's
Democratic Party critics will attempt to assassinate him if they can't oust him politically.
Speaking on his
Branson,
Missouri-based
The Jim Bakker Show, the pro-
Trump preacher said
America is being "ripped apart" by people who hate the president. "This political fight that is going on in
America is going to bring
America apart,
America is going to come apart,"
Bakker began.
"I believe there is such a hatred for our president, and I will say this and you may say I shouldn't but I'm going to say it: if they can't get him out by courts and politically and put him in prison somehow, they want him to go to prison, they're applauding now for
Trump to go to prison—they will kill him if they have to."
Bakker, who was convicted of a felony stemming from accounting fraud, resigned from the
Assemblies of God ministry in the late 1980s over allegations of sexual assault from co-workers and a secretary. He was succeeded as the head of
PTL by late pastor
Jerry Falwell. In 1989,
Bakker was sentenced by
North Carolina Judge Robert Daniel Potter to 45 years in federal prison, but his sentence was later reduced to eight years and he was paroled in 1994.
Bakker has repeatedly claimed that
God willed
Trump into office in 2016, saying in 2018, "This was a miracle, not by man—
God called them to do it." During the 2016 presidential election,
Bakker said that video appearing to show
Democrat Hillary Clinton fainting outside the
9/11 memorial was a divine judgment on her soul.
Although
Bakker currently records his self-titled show in the
Ozark Mountains of
Missouri, film crews are assembling in
North Carolina for an upcoming movie entitled,
The Eyes of Tammy Faye. The film is based on
Bakker and his first wife's tenure and downfall as nationally recognized televangelists.

The Daily Wire link): In an interview with
Bisnow,
Chick-fil-A President and Chief Operating Officer Tim Tassopoulos announced that the famous fried chicken chain plans to make significant changes in which charities it donates to, in part because “as we go into new markets, we need to be clear about who we are.” Amid continued boycotts of the highly popular and successful chain over its donations to supposed “
anti-LGBT” groups and causes,
Tassopoulos revealed that the company’s foundation will no longer donate to some high-profile
Christian organizations.
“As
Chick-fil-A expands globally and into more liberal parts of the
U.S., the chicken chain plans to change which charities it donates to after years of bad press and protests from the
LGBT community,”
Bisnow reported Monday. “Beginning next year,
Chick-fil-A will move away from its current philanthropic structure,
Bisnow has learned. After donating to more than 300 charitable organizations this year, the
Atlanta-based fast-food chain will instead focus on three initiatives with one accompanying charity each: education, homelessness and hunger. ”
“There’s no question we know that, as we go into new markets, we need to be clear about who we are,”
Tassopoulos told
Bisnow. “There are lots of articles and newscasts about
Chick-fil-A, and we thought we needed to be clear about our message.”
With its new, more narrowed approach to charitable donations, the company’s charitable actions “will no longer include donating to organizations like the
Salvation Army, the
Fellowship of Christian Athletes and the
Paul Anderson Youth Home,” Bisnow reports.
