Pat Robertson is a Christian televangelist, and the head of the Christian Coalition. He is the host of the popular TV show The 700 Club, which airs on many religious cable channels. His conservative views have made him the subject of much controversy, especially his statements in favor of the dissolution of the barrier between church and state.
Robertson was a candidate for President of the United States during the 1988 electoral campaign, though he failed to win enough popular support to remain on the ballot beyond the 1988 primary elections.
His views mirror those of Jerry Falwell in many ways, and Falwell has made frequent appearances on the 700 Club show.
Among his more controversial statements, Robertson has been quoted as describing feminism as a "socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians."
He also agreed with Jerry Falwell that the September 11 attacks on the United States were caused by "pagans, abortionists, feminists, gays, lesbians, the ACLU and the People for the American Way."
