Smirking pundits and rabid leftists launch vengeful hate-fest over death of Christian conservative Pat Robertson

June 8, 2023 | | Print Article

Legendary Christian preacher Pat Robertson has died at the age of 93, and the left can’t contain their glee. This includes the media.

CNN reportedly broke the story early Thursday morning by highlighting all of Robertson’s controversial statements from the past.

“In 2001, he agreed with fellow televangelist Jerry Falwell that God allowed the 911 terrorists to succeed because America had moved to the left and removed religion from the mainstream,” CNN correspondent Stephanie Elam reported.

MSNBC then took CNN’s beer and did the same thing, running a 49-second sendoff that Mediaite notes “consisted mainly of Mika Brzezinski roasting the deceased 93-year-old and barely containing a smirk at the end.”

Watch:

The worst attacks came from print media.

“Pat Robertson, Televangelist Who Blamed Gay People for 9/11 and Hurricanes, Dies,” the headline at Rolling Stone stone magazine reads.

In addition to attacking him over his religious views, the radically far-left outlet also slammed Robertson for his ties to former President Donald Trump, though it did seem to give him credit for accepting Trump’s 2020 election defeat.

“Robertson was very much an active participant in the modern, far-right Christian conservatism he helped create. He supported Donald Trump in 2016 and 2020, and described those trying to stop him from doing so as ‘revolting against what God’s plan is for America,'” the hit piece reads.

“After a gunman killed 60 people in Las Vegas in 2017, Robertson blamed ‘disrespect’ for Trump. Robertson broke from the former president after the 2020 election, however, saying Trump needed to ‘move on’ from the loss and that it would be ‘a mistake’ for him to run again in 2024,” it continues.

Meanwhile on Twitter, “Rest in Hell” and “RIP BOZO” were trending all Thursday morning as leftists celebrated the lifelong Christian leader’s death.

Look (*Leftist profanity alert):

Nice people …

For some odd reason, leftists have also been using Robertson’s death to insult the late conservative radio show host Rush Limbaugh.

Case in point:

The apparent joke is that Limbaugh was in hell, and now Robertson is in hell with him. Of course, secular liberal atheists technically aren’t supposed to believe in heaven and hell, but hey, evidently they do now.

Also ironic about the attacks on Limbaugh is the way he’s living rent free in so many leftists’ heads, as noted by one conservative Twitter user.

Observe:

Despite all the attacks on Robertson (and Limbaugh), there has also been plenty of actual, good-faith mourning by people who appreciated his wisdom.

“Pat Robertson, a great friend to my father, to me, and to our ministries, has moved to a new address in Heaven. Heaven is real and awaits everyone who puts their faith and trust in God and His Son, Jesus Christ. I will miss Pat, but I know that I will see him again one day. I’m sure that his family would appreciate our prayers,” Rev. Franklin Graham tweeted.

Other devout Christians quickly followed suit:
