Daily Inspiration Quote by Jessica Hahn

She delivers the line like a split-screen of 1980s American morality: on one side, the dutiful, God-fearing young woman; on the other, the televangelist-turned-defendant blaming a woman for his downfall. The intent is plain, but the craft is sharper than it first looks. Hahn frames her own “first quote” as a kind of reluctant testimony - not revenge, not spectacle, but an appeal to a religious community she’s about to scandalize. “God’s people” isn’t casual phrasing; it’s a coded acknowledgment that her audience isn’t just the press, it’s the believers who might treat her as either whistleblower or temptress.

Then she pivots to Bakker’s line, and the subtext turns prosecutorial. By repeating his defense verbatim - “set up by a female” - she spotlights the gendered evasiveness baked into public disgrace: when power gets caught, it looks for a woman to absorb the blame. She doesn’t even need to argue against him; the phrasing indicts itself. He doesn’t say “a person,” “a staffer,” “a conspiracy.” He says “a female,” reducing agency to biology, as if the scandal were a trap laid by nature.

Context matters: Hahn emerged as a tabloid figure, but this is also about the collapse of a particular religious-media empire. Her quote understands the real battleground wasn’t court, it was narrative. She claims the moral high ground while forcing Bakker’s deflection to read like doctrine: protect the institution, sacrifice the woman, keep the faithful watching.
