Pat Robertson: Las Vegas Massacre Happened Because People Don’t Respect Trump or God

‘There Is Profound Disrespect for Our President, All Across This Nation They Say Terrible Things About Him’ Robertson Laments

Octogenarian televangeist Pat Robertson, who once blamed the 9/11 terror attacks on gay and lesbian people, on Monday blamed the massacre in Las Vegas that left 58 people dead and 515 injured, on a lack of respect for President Donald Trump and God. Also on Robertson’s list of reasons is disrespect for the American anthem, veterans, and the court system.

“Violence in the streets, ladies and gentlemen. Why is it happening?” Robertson posited, as Right Wing Watch‘s Kyle Mantyla reports. “The fact that we have disrespect for authority; there is profound disrespect for our president, all across this nation they say terrible things about him. It’s in the news, it’s in other places. There is disrespect now for our national anthem, disrespect for our veterans, disrespect for the institutions of our government, disrespect for the court system. All the way up and down the line, disrespect.”

Robertson did not even bother to quote Scripture.

“Until there is biblical authority,” he added, “there has to be some controlling authority in our society and there is none. And when there is no vision of God, the people run amok … and we have taken from the American people the vision of God, the whole idea of reward and punishment, an ultimate judge of all our actions, we’ve taken that away. When there is no vision of God, the people run amok.”

Literally nothing Robertson said is true, even on the most basic level.
