Pat Robertson: It’s ‘macho’ for Trump to grab women ‘by the p*ssy’ without permission

Pat Robertson on Monday declared that Donald Trump was the “clear winner” of Sunday night’s presidential debate, and the televangelist asserted that the GOP candidate’s admission that he groped women was simply “macho” talk.

“Trump was the winner,” Robertson opined on his 700 Club television program. “Basically, the pundits were writing him off.”

The TV preacher argued that Trump was like the mythical Phoenix because he had performed well at the debate just days after the leak of a video tape, in which the Republican nominee bragged that he could grab women “by the pussy” without their permission because he was a star.

“A guy does something 11 years ago, it was a conversation in Hollywood where he’s trying to look like he’s macho,” Robertson said. “And 11 years after that they surface it from The Washington Post or whatever, bring it out within 30 days or so of the election and this is supposed to be the death blow and everybody rights him off, ‘Okay, he’s dead, now you’ve got to get out of the way and let Mike Pence run the campaign.'”

which I didn't even think was possible.

You go and support Mr. "Two" Corinthians, Pat; while the rest of us (especially in my generation) laugh at your unparalleled hypocrisy.
Hopefully when I'm Pat's age televangelism, and all the religious hate mongers and hucksters will have gone the way of the dodo.

I mean, at what point do the anti-choicers, and religious zealots realize they're propping up these ass-clowns that are doing more harm to their movement than anything..


On second thought....

Please proceed Pat.

Don't forget the Republicans know that pussies have a secret way of shutting everything down, so grabbing someone by the pussy really isn't all that threatening right?

You know, the guys who make fine leather:


Now concerning the matters about which you wrote: “It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman.” But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband. The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband. For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control...


Corinthians 7:1-40


I guess the essence of it is that husbands and wives should be faithful to each other. But the part about women not having authority over their own body because the husband does, that shit is not right.

Anyway, Pat Robertson is proof that anyone seen as being in a position of authority can be as much of a jackass as the next guy or gal. He's very selective in how he judges others' sins.
