Today, one week after lambasting the transgender rights movement as fraudulent and inspired by Satan, Pat Robertson said that trans equality “has got nothing to do with civil rights.”
“It’s just absurd,” he said. “It’s merely part of the socialist, humanist agenda to destroy the Judeo-Christian fabric of this nation.”
The televangelist was responding to the Justice Department’s challenge of North Carolina’s recently enacted anti-LGBT law, hoping that a future Donald Trump administration would oust Attorney General Loretta Lynch for siding with the “so-called transgenders.”
Robertson then lamented that President Obama was re-elected in the first place: “This is America and this is who you put in office. You elected him. I didn’t elect him. You did.”
