No one speaks for a god that doesn't exist, so anyone can speak for that "god".
These jagoffs get wealthy simply by developing a good pitch, and growing their mailing list.
And one of the best gimmicks is to feign outrage when somebody points out their failings, because then the congregation can sit there and think, "Well, he's not talking about me - I'm a good little believer. He's mad at all those others - those heathens ..." blah blah blah.
And BTW, when this guy conflates "stolen 2020 election" with his little spiel about "faith" and "prophesy", we know a coupla things:
- Religion is politics - it's the original politics (IMO)
- It's not just a matter of using god to back up your political stance, it's using a political structure to enforce a religious doctrine
- Lots of people can be very susceptible to a God-Anointed King set up because they feel the need to be told what to do, which they think absolves them from a certain level of responsibility
- And that's why the founders told us to keep that shit separate
