Pat Robertson Biography

Who Is Pat Robertson? Pat Robertson born Marion Gordon Robertson is an American media mogul, executive chairman, politician, televangelist, and former Southern Baptist minister who advocates for conservative Christian ideology. He is the chancellor and CEO of Regent University. He is also the chairman of the Christian Broadcasting Network.

It was not until he underwent personal difficulty that he became a serious Christian. He graduated near the top of his class at Yale Law School in 1955 but failed the New York bar exam. Failing the bar cost Robertson opportunities at post-graduate employment, and in the ensuing months of what he later described as a disappointment, embarrassment, and unemployment, he converted to Christianity and began a career as a minister.

Spanning over five decades, Robertson has a career as the founder of several major organizations and corporations as well as a university: The Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN), the International Family Entertainment Inc. (ABC Family Channel), Regent University, the American Center for Law & Justice (ACLJ), the Founders Inn and Conference Center, the Christian Coalition, an L-1011 Flying Hospital, Operation Blessing International Relief and Development Corporation, and CBN Asia.

He is a best-selling author and the host of The 700 Club, a Christian News and TV program broadcast live weekdays on Freeform (formerly ABC Family) via satellite from CBN studios, as well as on channels throughout the United States, and on CBN network affiliates worldwide. The son of U.S. Senator A. Willis Robertson, Robertson was a Southern Baptist and was active as an ordained minister with that denomination for many years, but holds to a charismatic theology not traditionally common among Southern Baptists.

He unsuccessfully campaigned to become the Republican Party’s nominee in the 1988 presidential election. As a result of his seeking political office, he no longer serves in an official role for any church. His personal influence and media and financial resources make him a recognized, influential, and controversial public voice for conservative Christianity in the United States.

Pat Robertson CBN

In 1960, Robertson established the Christian Broadcasting Network in Virginia Beach, Virginia. He started it by buying a small UHF station in nearby Portsmouth. Later in 1977 he purchased a local Leased access cable TV channel in the Hampton Roads area and called it CBN. Originally he went door-to-door in Virginia Beach, Hampton Roads, and other surrounding areas asking Christians to buy cable boxes so that they could receive his new channel.

He also canvassed local churches in the Virginia Beach area to do the same and solicited donations through public speaking engagements at local churches and on CBN. One of his friends, John Giminez, the pastor of Rock Church Virginia Beach, was influential in helping Robertson establish CBN with donations, as well as offering the services of volunteers from his church.

CBN is now seen in 180 countries and broadcast in 71 languages. He founded the CBN Cable Network, which was renamed the CBN Family Channel in 1988 and later simply the Family Channel. When the Family Channel became too profitable for Robertson to keep it under the CBN umbrella without endangering CBN’s non-profit status, he formed International Family Entertainment Inc. in 1990 with the Family Channel as its main subsidiary.

Robertson sold the Family Channel to the News Corporation in 1997, which renamed it Fox Family. A condition of the sale was that the station would continue airing Robertson’s television program, The 700 Club, twice a day in perpetuity, regardless of any changes of ownership. The channel is now owned by Disney and runs as Freeform. On December 3, 2007, Robertson resigned as chief executive of CBN; he was succeeded by his son, Gordon.

700 Club Pat Robertson

During the selling of the family channel in 1997, it was agreed that the 700 show would continue airing despite the change of ownership. On February 12, 2018, Robertson returned to his normal duties as host of his television show The 700 Club just ten days after his stroke.

He later released this statement: “I am grateful for the expressions of love and concern that have come toward me from all around the world, and I am thankful that I have received what amounted to a miraculous healing instead of what could have been a crippling illness. I am delighted to be back on the air to fulfill my life calling.”

Pat Robertson Dead

Is Pat Robertson Still Alive? The televangelist is still alive and kicking and has a show on Family TV called 700 clubs.

Pat Robertson Melania Trump

On 1 August 2016, the website Politicops (now News) reported that TV evangelist Pat Robertson had commented at length on years-old nude photos of Melania Trump, a former model and the current wife of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, which had recently been republished in the New York Post. Robertson supposedly described the images as “en [sic] epiphany for men around the world, and especially for her husband” before going on to compare them to artistic masterpieces:

Asked to elaborate on his take on the naked pictures in question, Robertson argued that the best part about them, “aside from the obvious beauty of Mrs. Trump,” was the fact that they “were not vulgar,” and that they represent “art in its truest form.” “I’m certainly no expert, but if you look at ancient art and the renowned artists of the ancient times, they all somehow focused on the beauty of the human body,” the televangelist said. “And in that regard, Melania Trump’s pictures are no different. In my mind, those pictures emphasize all the beauty and glory of God’s work, since after all, we were all made in His image. And I dare say, God was obviously particularly careful and inspired when He was sculpting Mrs. Trump.”

“Therefore, even though many views those pictures as provocative or flat-out vulgar, I disagree. To me, they are no different than Michelangelo’s David or the beautiful drawings of the Sistine Chapel. They are a true work of art precisely because they emphasize the beauty of women, and it just so happens that in that particular instance, the model happened to have been Melania Trump,” Robertson continued praising the photos. “And to all those who dispute them and Mrs. Trump along with them, I say this: What if we were to have a naked gay couple in the middle of doing business instead of Melania’s gorgeous body? Would that be better?”

The quotes were wholly fictitious, however. Politics and its companion site News describe their content as “hybrid news/satire,” often running articles that begin with a factual paragraph before spinning off into no-holds-barred satire. In this case, the factual introduction pointed out, accurately, that Pat Robertson had addressed the controversy over Melania Trump’s plagiarized RNC speech by observing on his TV show that she wore a “beautiful dress” and was “absolutely gorgeous” during her convention appearance:

Previous satirical articles on News and related sites have had Pat Robertson claiming that rock singer David Bowie was kidnapped by demons instead of dying and urging that gay people wear specific colors so they can easily be identified by straight people.
