This Anti-Gay Pastor’s Gay Scandal Somehow Got WORSE 16 Years Later…

In 2006, one of the most powerful evangelical leaders in America was exposed by a male escort just days before Colorado voted on a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage. Ted Haggard was the president of the National Association of Evangelicals, had access to the Bush White House, preached against homosexuality, and publicly presented himself as a model Christian husband. Then Mike Jones came forward and said Haggard had been paying him for years and asking him to obtain drugs. But the scandal most people remember was only the beginning. In this episode, we dig into the allegations involving former church member Grant Haas, the $179,000 agreement that required him to remain silent, Haggard’s extraordinary comeback, the bizarre briefcase allegation, and the new accusations that surfaced years later. Ted has denied the later allegations and has not been criminally charged in connection with them.
