'You just don't do that, Mr. President': Televangelist Pat Robertson condemns Trump

"It seems like now is the time to say, 'I understand your pain, I want to comfort you, I think it's time we love each other,'"Robertson said. "But the President took a different course. He said, 'I am the "President of law and order,' and he issued a heads-up."

Robertson continued. "He said, 'I'm ready to send in military troops if the nation's governors don't act to quell the violence that has rocked American cities.' A matter of fact, he spoke of them as being jerks. You just don't do that, Mr. President. It isn't cool!"

Robertson also spoke out about racism, saying "we are one" and "God made us all."

"We've got to love each other, we just got to do that," Robertson said. "We are all one race, and we need to love each other."





How soon before trump sicks his supporters on Robertson?

You helped create a monster by appeasing him for years, Pat. Why didn't God whisper this in your ear in 2015?
