(Newsweek) Televangelist Pat Robertson is facing a backlash on social media after he called Critical Race Theory (CRT) a “monstrous evil” during a Friday broadcast of his TV show.
Robertson, the 91-year-old host of the Christian Broadcasting Network’s flagship program The 700 Club, told viewers on Friday that CRT aimed to give people of color “the whip handle” over white people, according to a report from Right Wing Watch.
Several users took to Twitter following Robertson’s broadcast and strongly criticized or condemned his remarks, while some questioned Robertson’s motives for attacking CRT.
