Fake "preacher" (guess who?) says "Christians don't riot..."

If you guessed Jim Bakker, you're correct.

Oh right, he says "Born-Again Christians don't riot."

I'm not "born again," Bakker. My Mom got it right the first time.

In the Wake of the MAGA Insurrection, Jim Bakker Now Insists That ‘Christians Don’t Riot’

Kyle MantylaBy Kyle Mantyla | February 4, 2021 1:39 pm

On Tuesday’s episode of his “The Jim Bakker Show” television program, End Times pastor Jim Bakker and his guest, End Times author Jonathan Cahn, insisted that Christians had nothing to do with the Jan. 6 insurrection in Washington, D.C., when supporters of then-President Donald Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol in an effort to prevent Congress from certifying the election for Joe Biden.

Bakker and Cahn insisted that even though Christians played no role in the chaos at the Capitol, left-wing activists are nonetheless trying to use the event to justify shutting down churches and persecuting believers.

Yeah no they're exactly Trump's people and most of them are born again Christians. It's almost kind of like a melting pot of douchebags, frat boys, and fight club enthusiasts under the guise of following Jesus.
