Pat Robertson, the televangelist who never met a controversy he didn’t like, has finally exited stage right. The man who made a career out of stirring the pot has hung up his spoon for good, leaving behind a putrid legacy of divisive and hateful comments.
Robertson, the host of “The 700 Club,” was a man of many words, most of them controversial. His annual New Year’s prophecies were a spectacle, a bit like watching a car crash in slow motion – you knew you shouldn’t look, but you just couldn’t help yourself. His predictions were as reliable as a chocolate teapot, earning him an Ig Nobel Prize in 2011. It’s a fitting tribute to a man who was never afraid to be wrong, and always was.
His controversial comments weren’t limited to his prophecies. Robertson had a knack for offending just about everyone. He criticized other religions with the subtlety of a bull in a china shop, and his views on homosexuality and feminism were as modern as a dinosaur. But Robertson was nothing if not consistent, and he never let a little thing like public outrage or human decency get in the way of his awful opinions.
Robertson’s controversies weren’t just verbal. His financial ties to African leaders and his questionable use of his non-profit organization, Operation Blessing International, raised more eyebrows than a botox party in Beverly Hills. But Robertson was nothing if not resilient, and he weathered the storms with the tenacity of a cockroach in a nuclear fallout.
Pat Robertson Finally Dead

His life was a masterclass in hate, a reminder that it’s possible to make a lot of noise without saying much at all. His departure leaves behind a void that will undoubtedly be filled, but his unique brand of controversy will be hard to match. So, here’s to Pat Robertson, a man who never failed to make headlines. May his next journey be as eventful as his time here.
