'I'll be out on the street!' Rightwing televangelist begs viewers for $1M
"Conservative televangelist and convicted felon Jim Bakker is now urging his viewers to send him $1 million, and threatening that his ministry will shut down if he doesn't get the money.
On Tuesday, the group Right Wing Watch posted a video of Bakker from his PTL [Praise The Lord] Network show, telling a guest that he needed 1,000 viewers to donate $1,000 apiece (for a total of $1 million) in order to save both his business and his home. And he likened donating to his ministry to being in alignment with God.
"If they foreclose on this ministry, they will take my house too. So I will be on the street," Bakker said. "But I don't care. I've never been in the street.""
