Televangelist Kenneth Copeland gets visibly angry when questioned about his private jet

[Major Nikon]

Televangelist Kevin Copeland got defensive when a reporter confronted him about his claim that flying commercial was like "getting in a long tube with a bunch of demons." He angrily brushed off criticisms about his opulent lifestyle, and dismissively referred to the female reporter as "sweetheart" and "baby."

What's the background?

Copeland reportedly spent $3 million to buy a Gulfstream V jet that had previously been owned by actor, comedian, and producer Tyler Perry. The pastor has been frequently criticized for his extravagant lifestyle by people who don't believe this is an appropriate way for a preacher to live.

"Inside Edition" reporter Lisa Guerrero confronted Copeland about how he justified the expense of the private jet and why he compared flying commercial to "getting in a long tube with a bunch of demons."

Copeland angrily denied that he had ever made that comment. He also claimed that his private jet was a necessity. He said his ministry had "brought 122 million people to the Lord Jesus Christ." If those people were a country (according to the CIA World Factbook), they would be the 12th most populous country in the world. He said that without the plane he would "have to stop 65 percent of what" he was doing.
