Pat Robertson: Gays and Islamists Are Allies, “Let Them Kill Themselves”
The true colors of the religious right didn’t take long to show, after the horrific attack on a gay club in Orlando. Today, Pat Robertson dispenses with the phony sympathy altogether, and says gays and Islamists are allies, so good Christians like him should just “sit on the sidelines and let them kill themselves.”
Robertson also said President Obama is “soft on terrorism” because he refuses to admit Islam is “inherently violent.” This is the demonization narrative that has taken hold of the entire conservative movement; Robertson isn’t unique in this. You’re hard-pressed these days to find any conservative who isn’t pushing it.
