Televangelist Pat Robertson Blasts Trump For His Protest Response! "It's Not Cool"
Televangelist Pat Robertson joined the religious leaders criticizing President Trump for his “law and order†response to the nationwide unrest following the killing of George Floyd in the custody of Minneapolis police.
Robertson, a onetime GOP presidential candidate, has been generally supportive of Trump during his administration, but he blasted the president’s approach to the protests in the opening remarks of his television show “The 700 Club†on Tuesday.
“It seems like now is the time to say, ‘I understand your pain, I want to comfort you, I think it’s time we love each other,’ †said Robertson, 90. “But the president took a different course. He said, ‘I am the president of law and order,’ and he issued a heads-up.â€
Robertson took issue with Trump’s remarks Monday on a conference call with U.S. governors, telling them they were weak.
