Televangelists, Dallas megachurch that hosted Pence approved for millions in pandemic aid

[Ohiogal]

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A Dallas megachurch whose pastor has been a vocal supporter of President Donald Trump was approved for a forgivable loan worth $2 million to $5 million, according to long-awaited government data released on Monday.

Vice President Mike Pence spoke at a rally last month at the First Baptist Church of Dallas, whose pastor, Robert Jeffress, has been on Trump’s evangelical advisory board.

It was among the tens of thousands of religious organizations that received a total of $7.3 billion in pandemic aid from the Small Business Administration.

The list of religious organizations approved for about 88,400 small business loans also included Joyce Meyer Ministries Inc, a Missouri church which in 2007-2011 was investigated by the Senate over its finances. That church was approved for $5 million to $10 million - the largest sum an individual entity could apply for.

1. Of course

They looted the coronavirus heros act.

Dems need to slam thier foot down regarding who gets the money.

Really insult them and rip them apart show the public who got too much and fuck them up with no mercy.

Stop being nice to sociopaths! It has the effect of giving them permission to rob our nation!

Tell the rich corporate pigs to eat shit and die. Please it's needed if any aid is going to people who need it. Or do we have to give the fuckers billions to keep the people from starving?

Don't support or agree with Faustian bargains.

Rip them apart Dems until the people get more to live. Billionaires and millionaire do not need anything..nothing.
