Effortlessly eerie televangelist Rick Joyner popped in to say hello on “The Jim Bakker Show” last week, where he reiterated his spectacularly insane claim that gay pride events are responsible for Hurricane Katrina, a disaster foisted upon New Orleans as a sign of God’s snippy judgement and “a wake up call.”

Wondering aloud if Scalia’s death was the work of God (merciful) or Satan (spooky), Joyner remarked that he doesn’t like conspiracy theories but thinks “there’s something really suspicious about Scalia’s death.”
“There’s something really fishy about this that needs to be answered. This could fracture our nation and bring about Civil War. It has that potential. That sounds extreme but, I tell you, you wait and see.”
