The year is 2023
When an evangelical celebrity has a scandal, they are whisked away with the promise of a luxe and posh island getaway to be pampered and served while they restore their brand

FRANKLIN GRAHAM: WE ALL KNOW THAT AIN’T TRUE

FRANKLIN GRAHAM: [to Bakker] HEY LORD FAUNTLEROY THE 700 CLUB CALLED AND PAT ROBERTSON WANTS HIS GIMMICK BACK
