Jim Bakker, the disgraced former televangelist who reinvented himself as an End Times prepper pitchman following his time in prison, was among the dozens of evangelical leaders who were brought to the White House recently to meet with members of President Trump's administration.
Bakker revealed on his program today that he and his wife Lori were in the White House on the day that Anthony Scaramucci was fired from his short stint as White House communications director, noting that it was not a coincidence that Scaramucci was let go at the moment when George O. Wood, who heads the General Council of the Assemblies of God, spoke out against "unnecessary swearing" during a meeting with White House staff.
According to the Bakkers, Trump is eager to hear from right-wing Christian leaders and hopes to use them to spread his message to their audiences.
"The president has asked for the pastors, the leaders of Christianity, to come and advise them," Baker said, as Lori explained that "the reason for the meeting was so that he can get the group of Christian leaders that have a platform to share the truth of what's really going on that you don't get to hear in the media."
Lori noted that the members of the meeting they attended were able to write a letter to Trump that was hand delivered to him by his primary spiritual adviser, Paula White, and they were told by White House staff how much receiving letters means to the president.
"People think that their letters aren't going to get to the president," she said. "Well, guess what? They get to this president ... so leaders need to say thank you."
Bakker said that pastors and Christian leaders must send letters of support to Trump, who "will read every word of it because he's looking for the pulse of what God is doing in our country."
