Her faith in Christ enabled her to get away with all that bs. I don't see why this isn't taken into account.
I'm gonna convert to christianity and become a big-time crook. I can't lose.

In crime we trust.
I give you the new public face of Christianity.
There are many possible points of disagreement within Christianity because, like it or not, the Bible is unclear and even contradicts itself on many subjects (and this is a Christian saying this). But prosperity theology is so clearly the opposite of everything in the Bible that any self-respecting evangelical should ostracize it. That they don't is the proof that the gospel is not what many evangelicals are interested in.
What she cites the bible for
Though she clarified that donations wouldn’t actually go to help those infected, White used medical imagery to add urgency to her fundraising plea during a pandemic. “Every single day we are a hospital to the sick, not necessarily the physically sick,” she said. “But we are a hospital for those who are soul sick, those who are spiritually sick.” White went on to suggest that contributors offer a $91 donation, citing Psalm 91, or “maybe $9 or whatever God tells you to do.”
What I cite the bible for
Matthew 21:12-13 Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. “It is written,” he said to them, “‘My house will be called a house of prayer,' but you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’

You might enjoy reading some of the works of Bart Ehrman. I'm an atheist who has been reading a lot about Jesus and the early church (first three centuries). I would recommend, How Jesus Became God.
Anyway, good for you for recognizing prosperity bs for what it is.

”Just a small town girl….”
Fucking prosperity gospel is evil
She is, not ironically, perfect for the job.
The religion they are alluding to is not Christianity .... it's the holy all powerful and all consuming religion of MONEY
She sounds overqualified for the position.
It's cause you gotta take it on faith that she's qualified to be within 1000 feet of the Whitehouse.
