Disgraced televangelist Jim Bakker is in trouble with the law again – just like the good ‘ole days.
According to The Hill, Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt filed a lawsuit against Bakker for misrepresenting a “Silver Solution” sold through his show as a cure for coronavirus.
The lawsuit, which names Bakker and his Morningside Church Productions as defendants, says Bakker and “naturopathic doctor” Sherrill Sellman falsely claimed the solution could cure the virus in a Feb. 12 episode of “The Jim Bakker Show.”
Sellman claimed the product had not been tested on COVID-19, but said it had cured other strains over the course of 12 hours.
Both the FDA and the New York Attorney General sent cease and desist letters to Bakker following the broadcast, with the FDA letter advising that there are no known vaccinations or over-the-counter products approved to treat or cure the virus.
Fun Fact: Disgraced movie star Kevin Spacey played disgraced televangelist Jim Bakker in the motion picture extravaganza, “Fall From Grace: The Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker Story,” available for viewing in low-definition video on YouTube. We at the Hammer and Nigel Show have taken the liberty of forwarding to a most poignant moment in the film.
Who would have guessed back then that Kevin Spacey would eventually become a bigger social pariah than Jim Bakker?
