Televangelists are propaganda racketeers that profit politically and financially from lying while pretending that they have devotion to God and Christianity.

(24,745 posts)They live large off taxpayer dollars by hiding their rackets behind the ruse of "ministries," yet those religious hustlers don't pay one red cent in taxes.
They also pass off right-wing political positions as "God's will."
Those scammers posing as ministers ought to be honest and call themselves "the Church of the Almighty Dollar."

I would bet that at least around a third of his nutty followers he got from the deals he made with televangelists & friends
oh.. I meant to add that I'm sure several administrations in the past have taken advantage and made deals with these tv evangelists and that's why no one ever cracks down on their tax exemption etc. It's all politics & 'let's make a deal' .

I have come to believe most televangelists have chosen not to serve God but Mammon.

This predator class includes political hacks, over paid CEOs, many lawyers, trust fund babies, and religious zealots. To name a few.
