*The Internet is now calling him “Woke Pat Robinson.”
The right wing, borderline Q’Anon-like televangelist blindsided folks on Thursday with a blistering rebuke of racist policing, Derek Chauvin and the notion that any cop could mistake a gun for a taser.
The “700 Club” host kept it shockingly “100” when it comes to police violence against Black Americans. While making it clear he’s still “pro-police,” Robertson said on his show Thursday that police officers have “got to stop this stuff” while reacting to the killings of
Daunte Wright and
Caron Nazario.
“You know, the police in Virginia picked up a lieutenant in the Army and began to give him trouble — and our state police are highly trained, but why they don’t stop this? And this thing that’s going on in Minnesota with Derek Chauvin. I mean, they ought to put him under the jail. He has caused so much trouble by kneeling on the death of George Floyd — I mean his neck — it’s just terrible what’s happening.”
