Jim Bakker selling fake coronavirus cures now
Ex-convict, sex scandalist, and TV evangelist Jim Bakker is at it again.


The 'Christian television pioneer' and snake oil entrepreneur is now selling a purported coronavirus cure that also turns you blue for no additional charge.

He's implying in this video clip snipped by @RightWingWatch that a colloidal silver bullshit product he sells will kill coronavirus within 12 hours (it does not).

Only one way to test this out, though.

Dump him in Wuhan with only a bottle of colloidal silver and let God sort it out.

1. Grifters gotta grift.

Give that man a Presidential Medal of Freedom!

2. A modern-day snakeoil salesman. And yes, please let's dropkick his ass to Wuhan.

3. Uhhh...I hope someone nails him for soliciting money for a fake cure, at least some state...

agency or federal agency ... perhaps the FDA?

4. He must really hate his followers.

He shows them no respect at all.

6. Doesn't that make him qualified to run for President as a Republican?

[LuvNewcastle]

10. Heh, I guess he might as well.

5. If he had confidence in his product, he would travel immediately to Wuhan to prove it.

7. Of course, you need to take it with food!

If this was intentionally funny it would be an award winner. As it is, I haven't laughed this much in years.

12. In a sane world this fucking shit would be illegal.

These scam ass fuckers need to be taxed out of existence !!!!!

13. He sticks his hand in the rice and shoves it in his mouth and it's dripping down back

into the bucket. Then they mix that bucket with the "cheesy broccoli" and they both take a spoonful.

It made me gag.


Years ago my parents were scammed by him with that Heritage USA park. I think they paid $1,000 each for a lifetime vacation of about 2-4 days at the place.

8. I see Sebastion Gorka ads for some sort of pain reliever have been pulled as "misleading".

These guys have made a career of evil, fleecing the trusting for decades.

9. We used to arrest these people before the era of 'regulatory capture'

"Regulatory capture" went into overdrive with Reagan, which effectively stopped enforcement of all federal regulatory statutes.

11. I did not realize that was the same Jim Bakker sent to prison in NC

Question #1: Why is he on the outside? I thought he got 40 or so years.

Question #2: Where can I find the Go Fund Me page to send him to Wuhan?

14. I don't have anything nice to say about Jim Baker, but there's no vaccine or effective

pharmaceutical to fight the corona virus at this time, so if I was told I had the corona virus, as a practitioner of alternative remedies, the first thing I would reach for is my colloidal silver. I’m not saying it will kill the corona virus, but CS is proven to be the only thing that kills the MRSA virus, a viral strain that is connected to the corona virus.

16. Everything he and his fellow snake oil sales folks ever sold is

fake - and that includes Don the Con.
