Jim Bakker thinks the closing of Ringling Brothers Circus is a sign of the Apocalypse

Last week on the Jim Bakker Show, host and famed televangelist Jim Bakker did his usual condemnation of President Trump’s critics. But did you know that the Manchester terror attacks were linked to the closing of the Ringling Brothers Circus? Neither did I.

“The same day President Trump arrived in the Mid-East, something happened,” Bakker said. “Something happened after 146 years. Would that be epic?

From Right Wing Watch:

Bakker blamed the Ringling Brothers closure on a nonexistent national law banning elephants from the circus—while a few cities have barred circus workers from using bullhooks, there is no national law against performing elephants—which he contrasted with the legalization of abortion.

The closure of the circus company due to the supposed elephant ban, he said, is a sign from God because the elephant is also the symbol of the Republican Party. Like the circus losing its elephants, he implied, America will fall if it loses Trump.

“The circus is over,” Bakker concluded. “Life as we know it, unless we turn back to God, it’s not going to be fun anymore.”
