Influential Conservative Televangelist Pat Robertson Passes Away at 93

Televangelist Pat Robertson, who founded the Christian Broadcasting Network and hosted "The 700 Club" for decades, died at age 93 at his Virginia home. Robertson helped mobilize Christian conservatives into a potent force in U.S. politics, galvanizing support for Republican Ronald Reagan's successful campaign for president in 1980. He also founded the Christian Coalition, a grassroots organization that proved a powerful mobilizer for conservative religious voters who became a core constituency for the Republican Party. Robertson was criticized for controversial statements over the years, including blaming the 9/11 attacks on the U.S. embracing abortion, homosexuality, and secularism.
