CBN’s Pat Robertson Infuriates Christians With Comments on President Trump

Pat Robertson, founder of the Christian Broadcasting Network and long-time host of The 700 Club, was trending on Twitter Monday with tens of thousands of tweets responding to his biting comments on President Trump being “very erratic,” living in “an alternate reality” and how he should “move on” from the election fraud.

These unexpected comments come weeks after Robertson said the Lord told him that Trump would win reelection.

Reactions from Christian leaders and devoted followers of Jesus have been swift, rejecting Robertson’s sudden assertion that Biden “won” the election. They are calling him out with comments on hypocrisy, lack of discernment and lack of faith.

Trump Pardons 15, Including 2 Former Republican Congressmen

Former Republican Congressmen Duncan Hunter of California and Chris Collins of New York were among 15 people pardoned by President Donald Trump Tuesday, said a statement from the White House press secretary.

Both Collins’ and Hunter’s pardons came at the request of many members of the current Congress.

The first member of Congress to endorse Trump for president, Collins was sentenced to two years and two months in federal prison after admitting he helped his son and others dodge $800,000 in stock market losses over a failed drug trial by a small pharmaceutical company, CBN News reported. Collins served nearly seven years in Congress, representing the people of Western New York from 2013 to 2019. He was re-elected to this seat three times and is currently serving a 26-month sentence.

Pastor Jack Hibbs Launches Campaign to Rally Georgia Evangelicals to Vote Jan. 5

Georgia’s election for two U.S. Senate seats Jan. 5 will decide the future, not only of Georgia but of the entire country. What does liberal control of the federal government look like?

Jack Hibbs, a California pastor largely responsible for defying state government and flipping multiple congressional seats in the infamously liberal state, says it will look ominously like the one-party liberal state of California.

Launching today and running until Jan. 4, Hibbs will be the face of a wide-reaching advertising campaign called KnowTruthVoteTruth. The goal is to ensure that every evangelical Christian in the state of Georgia gets out and votes in the Jan. 5 special election. But more than this, the campaign wants Christians to understand and vote according to a biblical worldview. {eoa}
