BEFORE TRUMP, THERE WAS SWAGGART
ON this date in 1988 - In Baton Rouge, LA, TV evangelist Jimmy Swaggart confessed to his congregation that he was guilty of an unspecified sin.
Swaggart had been linked to an admitted prostitute.
Bun Man and Mr. Purple, members of Swaggart's security team, denied any wrongdoing or hook up help for Swaggart.
Money continued to flow in, this time for Swaggart's defense fund--Seems members of his TV audience were still stupid enough to believe this charlatan.
@Madken65 I used to watch him and the Bakers just to remind myself how crazy some folks are. 😳🫣🤭
@Madken65 I remember all of that. Dad was a big fan.
